Spring Break 2009

For Spring Break we took a trip to Southern Utah. We had a wonderful time. Our first stop was to each lunch at the Timberline Inn Restaurant in Beaver Utah. The Restaurant is owned by Megan's husband Jon's family. We had a terrific lunch. Jon's brother is the chef.


In the restaurant parking lot were all these army vehicles. The boys went crazy. They had a great time running around, posing and climbing.

Ready for action.

These boys make me smile.


These trucks make the boys look so small.

We stopped in Parowan to take pictures for Chase's fourth grade county report. This is the DUP museum.

One of the many highlights of the trip was a visit to Zions National Park. This was the boys first trip. It is such an awe inspiring place. We had a beautiful day. This is on the way to the mouth of the narrows.

Cute Chase resting. He was so nice to volunteer to carry the pack.

We also had a fun visit to the St. George Temple and visitors center. They have redone it since we had been there. The crowds were small so we were able to see everything.

We also were able to visit Les' friend David in Las Vegas. On the way home we stopped at the Las Vegas Temple. This picture is in front of the entrance. (I know it hard to tell that's where we are)

On our return trip home we visited Kolob Canyon. Once again we were inspired by its beauty. This is at one of the pull outs where the boys found a flatbed to climb on.

More beautiful vistas.

Our one family photo from the trip.

The boys enjoying the ride home - snacking and watching a movie. The only way to survive long road trips.
