St. George Day 2

After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, in which my children's eyes were waaaay bigger than their stomachs and we threw plate loads of food away (and all those starving children in . . . everywhere--yikes!), we headed to Snow Canyon for some fun.

The Petrified Sand Dunes:

 Lucy, Zach, Kye:

 One such wonky-looking rock:

 Zonked out Eli:

 After the petrified dunes, we took the kids to see the pioneer names (names etched in the rock in the late 1800's).  Eli was asleep in the car, so I suggested Zach stay and I go, so the kids could climb without giving Zach a heart attack.  Not that I can blame him.  I had a few myself because Isaac can't seem to walk.  He's either running or jumping.  And this is a little more sheer than can be seen in the pics.  Still, good time had by all.

 L, K, I:

 Nice:

 Kye:

 Why, oh why can this child not actually look at the camera?  I'm starting to think it's never going to happen:

 The kids decided this was probably a dinosaur footprint:

After Snow Canyon and lunch at Frostop, we took the kids to the St. George indoor pool.  Super awesome, but holy shmoly that place smelled chlorine-y . . .to the point of lung pain.  Still, we let them have their swimming fill and got changed.  A couple of Little Caesar's pizzas and a park trip later, we headed to the hotel for the night.  Zach took LKI swimming again while I stayed in the room putting the youngers to bed.  Adam fell asleep to Eli's screaming.  He finally pooped out about an hour later (during which I read Sherlock Holmes by bathroom light sitting on the *plush* hotel room floor--awesome.)  Everyone conked pretty quickly afterward.  Hallelujah!
