Memorial Day Weekend


We had the BEST Memorial day weekend!  We drove down to Cedar City to spend time with Tony's parents and his sister's family.  We hadn't seen our Wood cousins since our last family reunion when Joey was a newborn!  We drove straight to Sandi's home and had dinner with them.  Charlie took a little bit to warm up to Beckett, but it didn't take long.  They were best buds after that!


The next morning we drove down to St. George for Snow Canyon.  We started off hiking in the beautiful "red mountains."  I haven't been in a dessert for a long time!  It was a really pretty place.

I got asked several times if they were twins.  Nope, just cousins a few months apart!

The hike had so many fun things to see!

all of the cousins!

After the hike, we drove down the road for lunch.  It wasn't miserably hot, but we still wanted shade! After lunch we headed to the sand dunes--the biggest sandbox of all time!  We played Bocci ball and dug in the sand.


 The boys' clothes and shoes were filled with sand!  We stripped the kids down and put them into their swimsuits.  We were going to historic St. George to cool off in the water!

There was a carousel right next to the water!  


This little water park was awesome for kids!  Across the street was an ice cream shop so of course we had to go there after!  Grandma & Papa got everyone ice cream.  It was such a fun day!  I really want to go back.



The rest of the weekend was more low key.  The boys played with toys, Tony & I got to take naps/sleep in, grandma made us breakfasts--it was a really nice break!


The cousins had a sleepover the last night there.  Charlie's first sleepover!  It was pretty exciting :)  Grandma & papa pulled out their marshmallow catapults and the kids shot marshmallows all over!  I ended up being the target at the end and they got pretty good!  Cambridge got direct hits almost every time :)

It was a great weekend!  I'm so glad we get to spend more time with our family!


The drive back went by a lot quicker than the drive there.  Isn't that always the case?  

Thanks Grandma & Papa for having us!

That looks like so much fun! I'm ready to be by my family so Ollie can be by all of his cousins. Cousin play time is the best!
