Our Amazing Vacation - Sunday in St. George

We picked a week in June for our annual family vacation and when the 15th arrived we packed up and headed south to St. George.  Using that as our base we then ventured further out spending Monday and Tuesday at the North Rim of Grand Canyon, Wednesday in St. George, Thursday in Zion National Park and Friday at Bryce Canyon.  We had so much fun and are already looking forward to next year's adventure.

On Sunday we attended church at a ward building across the street from the temple.  It was a wonderful ward and we really enjoyed ourselves there.  Chad and I each had a separate geeky Church moment when we realized we were fortunate enough to hear the Lorenzo Snow lesson on tithing right in the city where the revelation was given!  That was really neat!

After church we headed right over to the temple and took lots of pictures of the kids.

  
I wanted all the kids to smile naturally for the pictures so I started to do some funny dance moves.  Apparently I looked completely ridiculous because they all started laughing.  I realized later that I could be seen from the Visitor's Center so who knows how many people got to see me bust a move.  I'm sure they were all laughing too...or calling the nearest mental health center.

Joseph decided to be the funny man next. He had all of us laughing!  Check out Grant's GQ pose.

We did a quick tour of the Visitor's Center and spent some time looking at the Christus.  A sweet sister missionary snapped some photos for us (don't smile Merritt!) and then we headed back to our vacation pad so Joseph could have a nap.
