Fun Day in St. George


Here in Iron County we have Spring break in the Fall.  We had 5 days off of school in October.  I had to work for most of it, but we did manage to take one day and have a little St. George vacation.  My awesome friend Jodi unlocked the secrets of St. George for us so we knew all the cool, inexpensive, close-to-each-other places to go.


First we went to the children's museum.  I'm a huge fan of children's museums, they are just so fun.  The kids all loved playing there, even the big ones. 













After that we went to the splash pad, which is huge and really fun









And then we rode the carousel -- all three of these things were within walking distance of each other, how fun is that?  Last we walked over to the old fashioned candy store and the kids got a bunch of fun candy to enjoy on our way home.  It was a perfect day!

Halloween 2014!

We had a fun Halloween with great weather!  Natalie decided it was finally time to be done trick-or-treating so she didn't bother with a costume.  She stayed home and handed out candy.  Jason put some lights on his wheelchair and went with the kids and I for part of the time.



We finally figured out that it works better to put our little graveyard on our porch instead of our lawn.


Missy was Red Riding Hood.  I made her cloak!


 Jessica was Robin Hood.  I made her costume too...the hat was kinda last minute.


Mandie was a black cat.  I can't believe we forgot her whiskers!


This was Josh's last year trick-or-treating.  We saw this spongebob costume at DI and convinced him to get it so he could feel like a little kid again.
