St. George

After doing the TOU 1/2 several months ago we decided to sign up for another race to help us stay motivated to keep running.  (It worked for Luke but not so much for me.)  We looked around online and registered for the Butch Cassidy 10K just outside of Zions National Park.  Yep, Zions is kind of far to go for a 10K but we were looking for a good excuse to get out of town too and since a few of our favorite people are down south going to school that is where decided to go.  We had a great weekend!!  Luke and I had a date night while the kids went and played with Abbey and Callie, we did a little shopping, ran our race, went up to the red rocks, played away at an arcade, took the kids to the temple grounds, visited with Callie and Sam, and just had a great weekend. 
 
The race was in Springdale which is just outside of Zions and I must say it was absolutely beautiful running there. 
Me, Luke, and Abbey just before the race.
 We tried to go on a hike with the kids but soon gave up.  And why did we give up....this little boy is obsessed with rocks and wanted to pick up EVERY rock he saw along the way and when he couldn't pick up anymore rocks he would just plop down next to them and refuse to leave them.  It was actually quite entertaining. 
 
Here he is sitting with his rocks.  Refusing any help and not wanting to leave them.  He just make me laugh. 
 
Claire loved climbing on the rocks.
 
It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect.
 
My favorite part of the trip was when we came here.


The Saint George temple is so amazing and the kids loved the visitor center. 
 
Claire was so worried about Crue falling down the stairs and refused to let go of his hand.  She is such a good sis.
