St George

It's amazing that just 3 1/2 hours south, the weather is so much warmer! We forgot what it felt like to have the sunshine on our faces!
Melissa didn't have sunglasses, so she borrowed the kids' goggles!

The kids all get along so well and had so much fun swimming.





Troy and Caden getting ready for a rhino ride



The kids all just love Melissa!





They thought it would be fun to do a "tallest to shortest" picture.






We ride the rhinos up in the sand dunes above Sand Hollow. It is so much fun ... there are endless sand bowls and trails to follow.


Rick found Mud! He had all the kids in the rhino and he decided to blast through some mud down by the lake. He threw mud up all over the rhino and the kids were COVERED in mud! Susan got a kick out of it!



We did a little mtn biking!

Rick went off a jump and busted his bike! He ended up having to walk it out. The best part was when Jason figured out he left the keys at the top of the trail and we got to ride back up to the top to get them and then ride the down hill again. It was one of the most memorable rides of my life because the sun was going down and we had to "bust it" or it would be dark. Jason and I rode as fast as we could from the top to the bottom without stopping once. It was absoultely thrilling!
What a blast! I love that we can do so many fun things with our family and friends. It just keeps getting better and better!

Looks like such a fun trip. I'm a little jealous of Melissa's sweet "sunglasses." Do you know where I can grab a pair of those for my cruise. It looks like they would offer a lot of sun protection:)

Looks like yet another amazing Lybbert adventure! You guys sure know how to have fun.

Is it just me, or is it hilarious that poor Melissa is grouped together with all the kids in the "tallest to shortest" picture? :)
