Dixie Narrows

Another funness of St. George was the Dixie Narrows. We climbed through this. Yep. Ok, so down in there, there was a little more room...





But not much.



I fit through a little easier than K and Wesley did. KB just wanted to run through. Don't think he understood why we were taking so long to squeeze through!



About halfway through, there was a little cave to take a break in.



Yay! We made it through to the top!



And what a view we got from up there!

The Splash Pad

One of the biggest hits on this trip for KB was the Splash Pad in Washington City!



There were big rocks to climb on and of course he did.



The water started at these little water falls and flowed down through the little park.



So when it narrowed down to a little river, the water was rushing and obviously quite fun to run upstream through!



K's friend Wesley was the reason for our trek to St. George and its 103 degree weather!

From Before...

Before I get started on our trip out west, I wanted to post this picture that I had all ready but forgot to blog about.
KB has been waking up between 4:30 and 5:30 almost every morning. And when he does, he bangs on his door and cries until we come get him. He'll usually fall back to sleep, but if he doesn't, Ku'uipo will leave his light on and tell him to just play quietly. Most mornings I wake up to him tired of playing and banging on his door again. This morning, though, I went in cause he wasn't making any noise and it was time to get up. I opened his door and this is what I found. His light was on and he had climbed up the drawers onto his dresser, scooted the bag of diapers out of the way a little, and curled up to go back to sleep on the changing pad. Didn't realize it was so much more comfortable than his bed!

Driving

We've driven about 20 hours worth since we got to Utah (though we're now in Arizona). That's a lot of time stuck in a little box with your husband and kids. Don't know if I'll ever want to do it again this way, but it was worth it to visit our very missed friends.
We haven't really listened to much music along the way so we've been talking. Most of it has boiled down to the fact that most drivers are dumb. Our most annoying observation has been that most people out here will go 10 over the 65 mph speed limit in town, but as soon as we get past town and into nothingness, where the speed limit is 75 mph, they all go 65 or 70, and line up across the lanes so you can't pass them!
So you can imagine, with 2 people that have major road rage issues, this hasn't been the most relaxing drive.






But it sure has been beautiful!
