One Last Splash

We have so much fun whenever we are in St. George! We get to stay with my husband's sister and her awesome family and we always have fun!!


The boys are never bored as they spend hours with their cool cousin on all kinds of adventures.



Our younger boys play endless episodes of Star Wars with their cousin "Crazer."




Our daughter gets to be big sister to her younger cousin and I know she loves every second of it.

After the marathon, our cousins took us on a new adventure down to the Virgin River.


The boys learned the fun sport of skim boarding, which is kind of like skate boarding but in the water.



They use a thin board, throw it out in front of them while they are running in shallow water and then jump on it and enjoy a little ride...and maybe try a trick or jump if they are brave.



The older boys caught on pretty quickly,



although they did take several spills.



The water was cool,



yet warm enough to really play in.



My husband took our daughter down to a small waterfall where they attempted to walk under it. They said it felt great (by the afternoon it had warmed up to 94 degrees).



I grabbed a chair and enjoyed a cool seat in the water...by this time my legs felt like a huge bruise and my feet were pretty tender. The cool water felt fantastic!

We enjoyed a fun afternoon in the sun and the sand...until,

slowly these clouds crept in and we were reminded that it wasn't summer anymore, even though it felt like it, but FALL is here!

We watched a lively thunderstorm blow in and headed back indoors just as it arrived.
What a fun afternoon! The kids have talked about it every day since we returned home.
