Vacation ends, we're home again

During cold weather in St. George, we sat by the fireplace and read a lot of books. We never did use the swimming pools or hot tubs. We missed seeing some of our friends...Shar & Morris, Jon & Ronda, Susan, and Conway & Pauleen. We had a nice, beautiful drive through Zion's National Park. There was quite a bit of snow there. Being married to a senior citizen does have some perks. Reed's Golden Age pass has saved us a bundle! Next month we need to get a new State Park Adventure Pass and new fishing licenses.

After spending two weeks in St. George we headed home. We stopped in American Fork to see the Burkhardts. Aubrey loves her 'jumping jenny' and goes wild in it. She looks like a little kangaroo. It is too bad this picture didn't catch the action. Andrew is slowly gaining strength. He said he has walked a little in the neighborhood. They made a visit to Cabela's which wore him out...walking in that store wears us out too!

Our next visit was at the VanWagenen's home in West Jordan. We took them some maps and brochures for their upcoming vacation to St. George. Brooklyn, 18 months, is really growing up fast. She liked to run around and show off for us. Mason, who normally sports a shaved head, had a full head of curly hair. Jory's leg has finally mended and he is getting around quite well. He said he can soon start running. I lectured him about being careful while climbing/hiking/walking etc. while experiencing southern Utah.

We were glad to see the snow in our yard had melted while we were gone. We sure have a lot of yardwork to do if it warms up sufficiently. I am loving Daylight Savings Time. Reed potted the begonia bulbs and placed them in a sunny window to get them growing. He bought me an Easter Lily to replace the red Christmas Poinsettia that wouldn't die. The local home/garden/farm stores have fluffy yellow chicks, baby ducks and cute little bunnies. It makes me want to take some home.
