The Merrills Do St. George...

We went on a quick weekend trip to St. George, meeting my parents and Whit & Christ there.

Let me tell you, it was nice for us Utahans to warm up a bit!

We visited Brigham Young's winter house, and I think that Piper was the only kiddo that actually listend to our tour guide. Adi was busy looking off everywhere but at the nice man,




and we tried to control our monkey boy the entire time. Fortunately, President Young's hose survived.



The kiddos also got some swimming time in (in a heated pool, of course. It wasn't that warm).



Miss Pipes had a near-drowning experience, but luckily she picked up on doggy paddling quite quickly ;)



And Porter just liked following his big sister's around in the water.



We got in some shopping while the guys went golfing, then met up for pizza in this cool little restaurant (they had those cool breadsticks on a stick. Sweet).









The best part for the kiddos was actually getting to be outside without their big puffy coats on.






Porter decided to turn the rock hill into a slide....



which, for some reason, didn't really work out.







Taking a walk around Utah.



Porter's shoes were too big and kept slipping off, which would then start Porter off on a wonderful fit.

Luckily, Daddy can fix anything.



He is also the bomb at Follow the Leader.



It was hard to come home from the very nice weather, but we are now counting down the days till our Easter Arizona trip (31 days).
