Another Trip South

Jay worked three days down at his other job last week so we all went with him. We had to get up early so we could get there in time for him to work. So I fed the kids breakfast in the church parking lot. We then spent hours at the park until we could check into the hotel. The kids took their naps until Jay got done with work for the day. We took them to eat at this new place that has these old video game machines. The boys, I am including Jay in this, loved playing the games and didn't want to leave. Then we headed back to the hotel to swim.

My little swimmers. Elly loved the water. This is the best pool. When they say heated they mean it. The water was like a bath tub so the kids loved it. Mason usually doesn't last very long because he is cold but he swam for a couple of hours.

I almost didn't get Elly a swimsuit because I didn't think she would use it much, but we have definitely got our six dollars out of this suit.

I love it when the boys jump in the pool holding hands. Then they swim to the edge still holding on to each other.

This was Tyler's knew trick that he had to have me get a picture of.

Mason is the water taster. Pretty sick I think, but try and tell a kid not to swallow the pool water.

Mason looks so different when his hair is wet.

I loved this picture of Tyler. Kids look so funny in their goggles.

The next day when Jay finished with work we took the kids on a hike to Hickman Arch (it might be Hickman bridge). This was a two mile hike but pretty easy. The boys walked the whole thing. Jay carried Elly in the pack on the way up. It was a pretty hike with lots to see. The boys liked this little seat that they found.

This was pretty cool. The boys are standing on this rock bridge and the ground is down under them about six feet.

Jay and Elly standing out of the rain. It rain on us for a few minutes so we just stood under the rocks and waited until it finished.

This is Hickman Arch. Jay and the kids are sitting under it.

My happy hikers. Elly never made a sound the whole time and she was awake.

Tyler hanging on for dear life.

Here we are at the end of our hike.

This is the under side of the rock bridge.

The next day, after we had swam for a couple of hours and checked out of the hotel, I took the kids on a little hike while we were waiting for Jay to finish working. This is at sunset lookout.

The boys love being able to get out and run. They had to stop and throw a rock every now and again.

They had to climb on this and play for a little while on our way back.

On our way home after picking Jay up from work we took the scenic drive up past fish lake. It was a really pretty drive. If you want to do something fun for a couple of days down in that area is pretty nice.
