We had a great trip to St. George, Utah for our family vacation/reunion. It was especially nice because we knew that we would not be seeing everyone again until after we get back from our mission in 18 months. We enjoyed spending time with our four children, their three spouses, and our nine grandchildren. It was the first time that Mabel, Else, and Juniper, the triplets, were with us. They were born on December 24, 2012 and our whole family feels very blessed to have them. We also got to see most of Dale's family, including his mother,his brother and his wife, and his sister and her family. We rented a house with a swimming pool that turned out to be a great idea with temperatures reaching 112 degrees or more. We hiked in Zion National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, visited church historical sights, and had fun just being together.
On the way to St. George we were able to go through Salt Lake City, visit BYU in Provo, and Manti. While in Manti we attended the Mormon Miracle Pageant. We also visited Cove Fort, a former Way Station for pioneers traveling in Southern Utah. On our way home we, along with Derek and Megan, (our second oldest granddaughter from Bruce's family) hiked through Bryce Canyon, visited Arches National Park, and stopped at Casa Bonita in Denver as strongly requested by Megan.
We expect this will be our last vacation for quite a while.
