We took a 5-day vacation to St. George to visit my sister and also to have some family time. We stayed in a house owned by one of my Dad’s friends and in the backyard was a large hot tub that when turned off, was quiet refreshing in the 100 degree heat. We spent a lot of time out there swimming and Adam loved it! It was great because he could walk along the ledge and play without needing us to hold him all the time like he’d need in a real pool.
I think Adam’s favorite part was shooting the squirt guns! He and Nat had lots of fun shooting each other, then shooting me, and then Adam spent a lot of time watering the plants, the rocks, the sky, etc.
Abby was pretty “blah” about the water. She did get excited and splash a few times but then just liked sucking on her tasty chlorine fingers.
Cute brother and sister!
Poor Abby.
On Sunday we went to visit the grounds and visitor’s center of the St. George temple. Every time we drove around the area, and Adam caught a glimpse of the temple, he’d say, "Look! There’s the temple! It’s so pretty!” 
Too bad neither child is looking in the general direction of the camera!
Touching the temple.
One of the goals in our stake this year is that every child physically touches the temple to feel the spirit and power that is there.
I have always loves the St. George temple! The bright white against the blue sky, green trees, and red rock is breathtaking!
Other than swimming and visiting the temple, the rest of the trip consisted of sleeping, playing Wii, watching movies, and eating! It’s so nice spending time together as a family. Even if it means loads of laundry and a crazy house upon returning home! :)
