Road Trip!

Natalie and Zachary hanging out in the backseat. We made the long trek down to St. George, Utah. We had a lot of fun and good memeries. My brother Dave and his wife Mindy finalized the adoption of their cute little girl, Miley and we were headed down for the sealing and blessing.

While we were in St. George we climbed and explored on the red rocks. My brother Tom's kid, Christian and Karlee thought they could climb just about anything. We watched them from down below.

My Mom and Dad, brother, Tom and his wife Cindi and all of our children loved exploring everywhere. Natalie thought she could climb anywhere and I was just trying to keep up with her.

Cool Cave.

The reason we came. The St. George temple was beautiful and I thought Miley did great through the sealing. This is all the family that came.

Dave, Mindy and Miley in front of the temple. There was such a special feeling there and I am so glad we could be there to share the day with them.

My cousin, Anne, is the best. She played hostess to all of us Smith's and our kids. She made the best food and was so sweet about everything. She took us to a really cool park that even big kids could play on. I classify myself as a big kid in this instance.

Here is Alex and Anne's daughter, Marissa climbing the rope wall. That was another plus. The kids played together so well, we hardly saw them. Awesome! I hope Anne's house survived. Thanks Anne!!

I was trying to twirl myself around, cool stuff.

One of our stops on our way down south was to visit the Draper Temple open house. Zachary was excited that he got to ride a bus to get there

Here we are on a snowy day at the Draper Temple. It was great to go and see.

We also stopped at Cabellas in Lehi, Ut. It is a outdoor sporting goods store, but for our purposes it was a museum. They have a walk through fish aquarium and stuffed animals everywhere. It is really cool. Worth the visit.

Alex checking out the fish. We had such a wonderful time and got to see lots of friends and family. It reminded me of how blessed I am to know such wonderful people.
