I think year might have been our best St. George trip ever, thanks to some amazing weather we had. Plus, it was fun to see our kids finally remembering some of the traditions we've tried to establish over the years on this annual trip. Here's some of them....
Even though it's a huge pain to pack all our bikes for the trip, we're always glad we went though all the effort. With Ben getting older, we can go on some longer rides now. Here we are finishing up our bike trip down Snow Canyon. It was so fun. Of course, we also had to find our 'Garlock Rock' we visit every year. I've always hoped we would be a bike riding family. My dreams are coming true! They did awesome.
A little picnic in Snow Canyon. Ben was freaked out of the rock formations at first. He kept saying "I scared of monsters!".
I think we swam all four days we were there. Our family's favorite pool is the 'waterfall pool'. All three of the kids made great strides in the swimming skills over the week.

Gracie and Sophie are so funny. They are just the best of friends and have all these intricate and fanciful adventures together. Here they are exploring the 'jungle' together. I've always been grateful that they have each other to play with on our trips.

Gracie kept finding little times to steal away and read on this trip. I love this about her.
Of course, being Garlocks, a great majority of our St. George traditions revolve around food. Here we are pigging out at iceberg.
We always love to visit the St. George temple, too. Ben thought that we would see Jesus there, since we always say it's His house. It was so sweet to see him so sad that he couldn't go inside to see Jesus. But we did get so see His statue at the visitor's center.We love St. George! What a lucky family we are to have the chance to stay in the condo each year!
