Newel had a 'nerd convention' aka engineering convention and was nice enough to invite us to join him.
So on Wednesday afternoon, a couple of weeks ago, we packed our bags, loaded the kids in the van (yes, I am now the owner of a mini van...I'll save that for another post), and headed to St. George, UT.
Funny thing about road trips, is that Arden always thinks we're no longer in UT. So, he'll ask me, "Mommy, when are going back to UT?" or "Are we in UT, yet?"
"Honey, we are in UT, it's just a different city." Not getting that concept, yet.
Anyways, while Newel was at his meetings, we decided to visit the Dinosaur tracks museum. It was fun, especially for a little boy who is into dinosaurs. After, we were done touring the museum and doing some dinosaur arts and crafts, we went outdoors to be 'scientists,' as Arden likes to say.

They had fun digging in the sand...boy, do we miss the EV playgrounds. This is the first time, in a long time, Arden has been able to play in sand. It's been too long for Mayita to even remember.
It was such a nice day. It was sunny and about 65 degrees. Just yummy. We didn't even need to wear our coats!
After our fun trip to the museum, we headed to this place called Fiesta something. It's like a Chuck e' Cheese. The kids and I had a blast. There was no one at the playland, so we had it all to ourselves. It was a lot of fun. No chaos!
The following morning we headed to one of Newel's favorite places in the world...Zion's National Park. It would have been a fun and awesome day, but it started to rain and was getting cold.
We went on a short hike, where we enjoyed the view. Then, we decided to cut our trip short and head home.
We were glad to head back home early, since the remainder of that weekend, it snowed and rained...it wouldn't have been too much fun. We were glad to be home also and let Arden get better, since, while traveling, he had the croup, again. Luckily, this time, we caught it on time and was able to get his medication before it got bad.
