Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day was one of my favorites because we planned a lot of fun with family around Cedar City.  We had a great time having everyone come stay with us.  
We live within an hour and half of Bryce National Park so we were so excited to go see some things around there that Saturday.  Right before Bryce, we stopped at Red Canyon for lunch and a hike.  I loved seeing all the hoodoos in bright red color.  

Lucy was so funny with this sucker.  Everytime I looked at her with her sunglasses, the stick coming out of her mouth, and her layed back attitude it seemed like she was trying to tell everyone how cool she was. :)

 
One of the hoodoos was in the shape of a camel.  Pretty fun!
 
After that first hike we drove up the canyon to Bryce to do the hike Mossy Cave Trail.  
It was a great hike because we got to see a cave and a couple of little waterfalls.
On the way to the waterfall we passed a real beehive about 10 feet from the trail!

To say that Lucy loved the waterfall would be a huge understatement.  It is a good thing that Mark was willing to take Lucy to play in the water because she used all her power to get away from me to play in the river by herself.  It took some muscle to get a hold on her.
Lucy was heartbroken for a while after we left the water.  She could have spent all day there.  
It is too bad Caleb wasn't around at the moment because these guys were just standing there in this position ready for a family portrait. So cute.:)
After a little while we walked down some hills, got to this bridge, and Lucy was as good as new. What a great hike for families! So glad we did it!
The next day we went to church and headed to St. George after.  We toured Brigham Young's Winter Home and stopped by the St. George Temple. 
Lucy was so loopy from lack of sleep by this time.  I was so grateful for extra helping hands there. Thank you Em and Ang!
On Memorial Day we went swimming at the aquatic center near our house.  It was such an awesome pool for kids.  It was like a playground and a pool combined.  We went and got snowcones afterwards and then got to check out the Frontier Homestead State Park with Katie and Judd's family.  Judd let Lucy ring a school bell while there. Lucy asks all the time now if she can go there with these guys to ring the bell. :) 
I was a little sad when the fun came to an end.  What a great weekend!
