Easter in Hurricane

We decided to head to Hurricane for Easter and to visit with Craig's Mom and Dad.
The kids got all snuggled in the car with movies we got from Red Box before we left and of course treats!
I have no idea why there is a box in the car... Zach made himself some sort of fort I guess... don't ask.


Craig in his favorite chair... making fun of me he loves to embarrass me in front of his parents!

Zach with Grandma! The kids love going to their house! They love the games and puzzles and the bikes and the wood pile out back. We played baseball and Zach and I took a long bike ride hunting for a cave! We finally found it and is was worth it. It was a gorgeous hike with caves and lots of hills and character! I forgot my camera for that part I'm so mad!


This is the Hinton House. It belonged to Grandpa Olin's family and was transplanted to the city center and preserved with this nice plaque about Hurricane's First Family: THE HINTONS!!


Can you believe that I haven't ever been to Zions? Crazy I know... so we decided to take the kids and head up there! It's amazingingly breathtaking I was just blown away at how beautiful it was. Unfortunately, we only made it to the Patriarch site Sami got sick and we figured it would be better to head home than have her throw up on the packed buses! But, we saw enough to have a good day:



On our way home we saw an Ostrich farm on the side of the road and just had to stop for the photo-op:



Since it was Easter we had to go to and Egg Hunt! We found one the city was putting on and we were a little late and there were so many kids there and not a ton of candy that both kids were walking away with nothing until a little boy gave Zach about 4 eggs. They were so Egg-cited! Then we started walking to the car and in front of us was a boy about 10 years old and he was crying and had an empty bucket... both Zach and Sami both ran up to him and gave him 2 eggs each. They were so proud of themselves for having helped him have a better time!




We headed home for church on Sunday and all in all it was a really fun trip! We missed the other kids though. We usually will at least have Brad and Natalie when we go down there. Natalie went with her friend to St. George and Zions also and the others spend Easter at home.

Here's a few pics of Nat's trip:
