The week of the Fourth of July was one of the few weeks that we all could be together as a family. It was free of scout camps, school for mom and dad, football camps, baseball, and teaching for mom. We really wanted to plan a great big family vacation. We thought about going on a road trip to some of the highlights in America. We could not talk are kids into it. The idea of sitting in a car for days was not their idea of a vacation. We ended up loading all into the car and visiting family in Toquerville. It wasn't great and wonderful, but we all had a terrific time. We went to Zion and hiked the river walk, and played in the river. It was soooo cold in the water. It was awesome! When the kids (Dace) are older we are totally going to hike the narrows.
Maridee was gracious enough to let us stay at their house. She even took us to a pool in East Zion (which was also very cold). We ate and swam the day away. We had a nice barbecue that evening before travelling to St. George for fireworks. They were beautiful. The best fireworks I have seen in a long time. If you turned the radio on they were set to the music. We were down town and fireworks were going off all around us. Dace was getting whiplash. He didn't know which way to look. He was pretty sure he missed out on a lot of the show.
It wasn't as grand as we were hoping, but we had a really grand time together as a family.
