St. George for Spring Break Part II
The sun came out to play after our rainy exploration of the ghost town. So we went out to play too! We rounded out our second evening at the pickleball courts. I'd never played before. But we had a lot of fun! I can totally see us playing all summer long together.
On the morning of our third day, we headed out to the Warner Valley Dinosaur Track site to see some real life dinosaur prints. It really does blow my mind that these are REAL tracks. It was a windy day, but we were protected from the gusts down below where we were, so we took our time hiking around and killing some time in the sunshine. Afterwards, we explored the 19th century Fort Pearce.
Ezra was so thrilled with himself for making it to the top (with help, of course)!
That afternoon, we struck out at three different restaurants for lunch; they were all closed! It was the strangest thing. Then we went swimming at the Washington City Community Center pool. Conrad's favorite part was the slide that went outside the walls! It felt extra fast this trip too. It took Ezra a solid 90 minutes to warm up to the waterpark, but once he did, he was a belly flopping laughing fish!
When we were all dried off, the kids climbed the rock wall and played some air hockey. Suddenly, Levi's face went white and he said he didn't feel good. Then he threw up in the gutter right outside the front door of the community center. If I had to choose one kid to get sick on a vacation, it would definitely be Levi. He's a tough kid who doesn't want any attention and will push on regardless of how he's feeling! Levi threw up once more out of the truck window. But he was game for some sodas and a trip to Pioneer Park. So that's what we did. Pioneer Park is one of my favorite places to hike around! There are so many nooks and crannies hidden amid the red rock.
That night, I didn't feel good either! I went to bed early and tried my hardest not to throw up. Lol. It was a legit bug that stayed with me for a few days. So Tuesday morning, Bron and I decided to call it a trip and head home a day early.
But first, Bron took Jed and Levi on one final bike ride down Deadringer, Goosebumps, and Kryptonic. It was a super windy ride!
Then it was off to the park to make one final dream come true for three boys: renting an electric scooter! Jed, Levi, and Conrad took turns riding laps around the park while I tried to feel better by soaking up the sunshine.
Finally, we ended the trip on a high note with Nielsen's Frozen Custard. Delicious!
Until next time, St. George! You're always good to us.
