After bowling and an early dinner we started the drive down to Hurricane for the last few days of our trip. Evan was not excited to be back in the car. So we handed him some sunglasses and that really kept him entertained--it was so funny!
One morning we headed out on an ATV ride to have fun in the sand dunes. We stopped at a couple of lookouts along the trail. We also saw lots of animal tracks!
We went to the famous 'Flintstone house' that is really just a huge eroded rock that has shaped windows and other openings--pretty cool
It was fun to climb around in
Unfortunately on the way back we kept losing the trail. Then we'd try a new trail only to have it dead end. After several failed attempts we started getting pretty worried and weren't sure the next step to take. We were literally 'wandering in the wilderness.' We could see the Sand Hollow Reservoir yet we couldn't find a trail to take us back there. Faithful Cyrena decided enough was enough--it was time for a prayer. Of course in the next 10 minutes after the prayer we found a trail that led us right out of the wilderness. PRAYER WORKS CYRENA!
Evan got to have his first Fudgsicle. YUM!
There is a fun pool in the Sand Hollow resort where my parents own a home. We had it all to ourselves one morning!
These two were cracking mye up. Cyrena was so excited to lounge with dad.
Yep--he's all MINE!
While in Hurricane we also went to a movie, ate amazing Mexican food and did most of our school shopping. Then we sadly said good-bye to Grandma and Grandpa and headed back to Arizona.
My parents gave us some couches and tables to use in our living room so we rented a U-Haul to bring them back.
We've always wanted to stop at the Cliff Dwellers site so this time we did. We let the kids get out and climb all over the rocks and explore the dwellings there.
We were exhausted when we got home but we brought home many many memories and fun times. We are so grateful for generous and loving family!
