New Year's in St. George

For New Years this year we decided to head down to St. George with our good friends, the Crocketts.  They have four little boys as well, so it was pretty much a non-stop, how-can-we-wear-them-all-out weekend.

We started off by hiking around Snow Canyon:

The sand dunes were definitely a hit.

Despite this:

and this:

 The Crocketts lived in Columbus with us, so when the Sugar Bowl came on, it was time to head home and change into more appropriate colors.

It got a little intense at times but, luckily, there was a happy ending.

And then it was off to "bed".

We finished up the trip with checking out dinosaur tracks and doing a little off roading.  

It turns out, our Sequoia isn't all that great at being off road.  So we mostly just watched and let our boys take turns in "the cool car".

 You're welcome little boys... the next trip is going to involve a musical and museum. 

Ha, right. sniff.
