Logan's Keyhole Adventure

A couple weekends ago Logan went canyoneering with some friends to Keyhole Canyon in Zion.  It was a cloudy and slightly rainy day, and I really really didn't want him to go.  Hello slot canyon flash flooding death.  I'm a paranoid wife all the time, but when I'm 35 weeks pregnant, it kind of goes into hyperdrive and I spend the whole time he's gone crying and planning out what the heck I'm gonna do with 3 kids without him.  (Please tell me I'm not the only one, haha).  If fact, I'm still kind of mad at him about it.

He lived.  And he had a great time. He thinks he's doing Pinecreek this weekend, but rain is in the forecast, and by then I'll be 37 weeks pregnant.  I sincerely hope it doesn't happen, not sure I can handle it.  Maybe someday he'll take up a hobby that isn't potentially life threatening...

But he does look pretty happy in all the pictures:)

Water Balloons

Chapter was begging for water balloons, needless to say, I was hesitant.  But we got a $1 pack of 100 and we have been having so much fun!  They don't mind that they only get one at a time, and when my fingers get tired, I just make them "baby ones" and they are really tough to break and last a while:) And thankfully, they don't throw them at each other yet, although Merit is pretty good at getting herself wet!


April

I know I say this about the fall too, but April is probably my favorite month in St. George.  There are so many things to do.  My family always wants me to come visit for Easter but, NO WAY!  I look forward to this time of year all year long!


 First we have the Alumni Egg Hunt at Dixie.  The kids were in different age groups this year and the pictures of Chap gathering eggs are on Logan's phone:( But he's the only one who wanted to see the Easter bunny this year.
 Easter Morning.  Chap ended up eating his entire chocolate bunny and throwing up.  He threw up couple more times that day (including at Grandpa's house for Easter Dinner...of course).  Not sure if he was sick, or just too much candy, but no one else got it.



 We also went on an adventure to the Little Black Mountain Petroglyphs (or picture clips as Chap says), to Glitter Mountain, and on a back roads adventure from there over to Hurricane that took all day.  I love doing stuff like that.
Merit wanted to ride on Chap's lap.  He didn't like it, but apparently, we won't have a problem fitting another munchkin on this stroller:)
And then we have the St. George Art Festival.  We went and looked at all the booths, ate at One Hot Grill, bought a nice print to hang in the living room, and played in the stream.  Probably the most fun we've had at the Art Festival to date, and that is saying something!
And finally to finish off April, we have the Kayenta Street Painting festival.  I didn't find one I really loved this year so no pictures, but Chap had fun in the kids section with his cousins.  And we even sprung for a huge bag of kettle corn, so that was fun!

We love April!
