Labor Day Weekend in St. George

In addition to our hike, we did some pretty sweet stuff over Labor Day weekend with the kids and grandfolks/aunties and uncle in St. George. We celebrated Nate's birthday and he got spoiled rotten - shoot, I even got spoiled rotten! Who gets presents on their spouse's birthday? Not that I'm complaining . . .

St. George recently got a beautiful carousel and we took the kids and rode it over and over. They loved it. Nate and I mainly tried to focus on a fixed point in the distance to keep from throwing up, but it was magical, especially as it got dark outside. Then we let the kids splash in the water that they have close by. 

Bryn was in heaven. She would've ridden it all night long if we'd let her.
Addison couldn't quite decide what to make of this statue.
Bryn made up a little routine that she did over and over and over. Part of it was sticking her hands in this water for about .89 seconds every time she passed it.
On Labor Day proper, we headed to the sand dunes with Grandma and Grandpa. Nate and I were both so sore from our hike that we could barely move, but it was fun to watch the kids play and get good and dirty. Grandma got some great shots of the fun.

    Cute pictures! I used to love rides that went round and round, but ever since I had kids, I have to find a point of focus too or I get sick.... I used to make fun of my mom, but now I have to take it all back :)

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
