While my Summer vacation dreams of the BEACH were brought to an unfortunate halt with the husbands hernia surgery....two months out of work....oh and that little unfortunate tree on the house incident, we were not going to let that get us down.
We headed for St. George. Fortunately for us, our parent's own a little vacation home in paradise.
While St George is a little on the toasty side in the summer it is BEAUTIFUL!
Where else can you find this kind of landscape? I would have to say nowhere...
Besides....we found some creative ways to stay cool.
Indiana Jane found herself a little friend right off the bat. They quickly became besties......that is until her mom made her put him back. She LOVES the creepy crawlies.
Meet Indiana Jane. She is the classic American "Tom Girl". She loves to fish! So we headed on up to Kolob Reservoir to enjoy a day of fishing and cooler weather.
Rolling around in the dirt is her specialty.....
That and chasing chickens :)
We stopped at a fun little gift shop called the Virgin Trading Post. It is on the highway to Zions National Park. Poor little Indiana was had by then....as you can see. They have a petting zoo for the kids, homemade ice cream, all sorts of tourist trinkets and.......
The best photo props! It is 1.00 per person to get into the petting zoo/photo op area. But my kids under that sign....PRICELESS!!!
Just make sure you give the little ones the longest carrots those Llamas were HUNGRY!!
Well that is all for this St. George trip. Thanks to the affordable accommodations there will be more to come in the near future!
