Christmas in St. George

After church on Sunday, December 26, we headed to St. George, Utah to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. The weather was terrible, roads slippery, but we made it in one piece.

We spent from Sunday to Wednesday in Southern Utah. My parents are staying in a RV park in Washington Utah. It wasn't much warmer than Northern Utah, but it was great to get together.

We spent the evenings playing Dominos. I'm pretty sure there was some cheating going on, but no one will confess.

On Monday we went to the Rosenbruch Wildlife Museum. It was amazing. Animals from all over the world displayed in their natural habitat. A new place that we didn't know about. I am glad that we went.

Each of us had a recorded remote for a self-guided tour. Grandpa Anderson is sitting by the sheep listening to their story. Grandma Anderson posses by the giraffe from Africa.
At first Grandma Anderson was upset the tourist were on their cell phones. Guess what? She had one too (the remote). She couldn't figure out why all these people had their cell phones on. I guess you had to be there.

Pioneer Park

Grandma and Grandpa Anderson found a place to hike and repel. Kevin brought his ropes and gear ready to climb. Of course Oliver and Tulip loved the walk.
Kyle went first. This was his first time repelling off a cliff. It's a lot different than repelling in our backyard. He was awesome.
Kevin is superman. He really enjoys this danger stuff. I had a hard time watching. He was very cautious and made sure everything was hooked up correctly. They made it to the ground safely. Wow!



Nathan brought his scuba gear so the boys could go scuba diving in the pool. We rented some tanks from a St. George scuba shop. They dove both Monday and Tuesday in the pool at the RV Park where my parents are staying.
We headed back to Pleasant Grove on Wednesday morning. There was a big snow storm moving in and we wanted to beat the storm. Well, we became part of the storm. Cars were off the road, sliding with the icy conditions. We made it home safely, but it was a nail biter.

We are grateful for Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. We sure enjoy getting together and having so many laughs. We can't wait to see them again.
