Spur of the Moment Fun!

So we got up early Saturday morning to get ready for the boy's city championship games in football. I packed lunch for the day, including watermelon, popcorn, sandwiches, drinks, etc...It was an unseasonably cool day for Vegas, with rain :) So due to muddy conditions, the games were cancelled. We were all packed up with nothing to do, so we took a quick trip to St. George. I have always wanted to go tour the visitor's center at the temple there and the historical sites in town, so off we went. First we toured the temple grounds which were of course beautiful. The visitor's center there is a smaller version of Salt Lake and was really nice. There was a tour of beautiful statues that happened to be there that day, so that was extra special to see. I'll have to post the info. sometime on the scultptor...awesome work. After the temple, we went to the park and spent a couple of hours there eating our picnic. It was so great to be in a park with green grass and gorgeous trees...never happens in Vegas. The weather was perfect and Celine asked to move there. Next we went to Brigham Young's winter home and toured it with one of the missionaries. The history there was so neat...we all really enjoyed it. We then went to Jacob Hamblin's home and toured it...again, lots of history. We learned a lot about St. George and about the pioneers. It was so much fun. We then treated ourselves to Pizza Factory...of course delicious! We were so full that we needed to walk a bit so we drove around and looked at some of the homes in the city. We wandered the mall for about 30 minutes and were ready to head home. It was so much fun to not have a plan, have no time limits, and just enjoy a day with our children. I could'nt have asked for more. I took a lot of pictures and took the liberty to post a bunch. :0)
