Easter Adventure...

Does it seem like Easter was forever ago?  It kind of does to me too, but we're gonna relive it for a moment for the history books...
The Easter Bunny found us in St. George this year!  We left him a note at home in Highland to remind him where we would be staying.  And low and behold...

And then we decided to visit the real live bunnies out in the wild desserts of Snow Canyon.
Kael decided to suck on his Easter sucker so the bunnies might think he was one of their own.
Verrrryy Sneaky, Kaelster.
Not to sound totally cliche, but it was a PERFECT Easter Sunday.  The weather was gorgeous, the scenery was epic and my littles were singing and hiking along like champs.
 Half-naked champs, but champs nonetheless.
Bonus shot of two of our tough little hombres.
And the initial accent of one of the many "Dinosaurs" we climbed.  This was by far their favorite part.  My favorite part was searing these images into my memory.  I love/adore/swoon over these scenes of cerulean skies and red rock and my little men trailing behind their Dad.
Ace nearly always hikes shirtless.  I don't know about our little free spirit... but he'd really probably be most comfortable hiking around the hills in the nude with the exception of the tiger shoes.  :)
Dax would dutifully stop and offer water to Ace.  "Ya gotta keep hydrated, K Bud."  Whaddya know...  they might actually listen to us now and again!
And all was right with the world until Ace wondered into the branches of a bush and scratched himself up.  But then all was right again when we pointed out the fact that he had earned tiger stripes.
Disaster averted.
Last stop was the dunes.  I doubt this needs any explaining at all.  It was love at first sight.  And I'm still "seeing" the sand here and there.  It piles out of shoes and pockets and socks randomly more than a week later to remind us of our holiday in the red sand. 


We'll take "Easter Adventures" for $1000, please Alex.

Thanks for showing us a great time, Snow Canyon!
