A quick trip to St. George

 First a couple tidbits from early October: 

We made it to a women's soccer game at BYU. They were amazing and ended up taking second in the nation! Brooklyn, Camille, Layla, Ruby, Whit, Abby, Rylee.

A beautiful sunrise over the color-changing trees one morning on the River Trail.

In October Mary and Brad bought a second home in St. George!!!!! We were THRILLED. Still are.  We have gone down there about 3 times a year the last few years, so now we can stay for free and maybe go more often!!

So we planned a quick trip down to see School of Rock at Tuacahn.

Here's the kids enjoying Pioneer Park-

And the show was great!

More rock exploring:

swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's new pool! AND the other reason we came down, to see 5 day old Brooke!!!! Katrina and Phillip's new baby. She's adorable!! And how often to you get to hold a 5 day old baby? Worth the drive for sure!

Eric and I took their other 5 kids to Snow Canyon for a couple of hours to give them a break.  And we brought dinner. I was so happy to get to do that! And the kids had a blast.  Here's Lydia, Maris, Hazel and Emma in the hole Owen and Ryder spent 2 hours digging haha.

Ryder and Owen love to dig holes together and stand in them!

More pics in the hole, and Maris with Brooke.

Maris' head and Owen's feet haha.

It was a really fun, quick trip!

The next week I went on a leaf collecting walk with Owen's class to the Sports Park, it was cute.

And here's a picture from Boston that I forgot, this was our view of the ocean from our bedroom window. Very nice!
