Easter weekend in St. George

Since Sophie's birthday was on Good Friday this year so we celebrated Easter in St. George.  The girls had fun coloring eggs, going through their Easter basket loot, and of course, the egg hunt is always a hit.  In fact, my kids break out the baskets early and leave them out long after the holiday -  hiding empty easter eggs/toys/candy/whatever they feel like hunting for - creating their own "Easter egg hunts" because they think it's so fun.  















Our weekned in St. George in between Sophie's birthday and Easter morning was spent hiking in Snow Canyon, at the park, swimming both indoor and outdoor, golf for the guys, and lots of lounging.  I'm SO sad because 1/2 of my pictures were corrupt and even my husband who always come to my rescue with stuff like this couldn't do it this time:(.  



A few (small) pics from our hike at Snow Canyon.  One of my favorite things to do is hike here with the kids.

My mom is a trooper, riding scrunched between the girls all the way there and home!

We stopped at the free Scipio petting zoo for the first time both on the way to St. George and on the way home.  The kids loved it, Jack thought it was so funny that the little lambs would nibble on his fingers:)



The weekend before Cam and Joni were in town from Seattle so Colleen had an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos.


Our attempt at a cousins picture.  Seriously...this was the best one!

How fun! The family picture is so cute. Hiking is our favorite thing to do when we go to St George too! It's so fun. Glad you guys had a good Easter, and wow, your mom is a trooper to ride back there the whole way, She looks like a super fun Grandma! And I can't believe Sophie is 3?! Love the pictures from her birthday post. She is darling!!
