St George

 Two days after Christmas, we drove to St George to meet up with a bunch of Bloods. Mary, Elizabeth, Stephen, and Joanna's families were all there. Half of the 10 Blood siblings is pretty good! We had 3 Airbnb's in the same neighborhood. 

Inspired by the Reindeer Games, I put together a competition for the cousins with stuff I found around the rental house. "Cheese Ghost" was definitely my favorite. 

Tauriel smashed the competition at stacking gravel on coasters. We also tossed goldfish into our mouths, used tongs to pick up coins from a board game, and slid the coasters at targets. 

Mary organized baptisms for the dead for the teenage cousins and some of the adults. The rest of us checked out the visitor's center the next day.

As predicted, Thunder Junction was a hit!



Felix did not approve of my great photoshoot idea.

We continued our Dino Day with a trip to a dinosaur museum. 

Felix was unphased by the leaping trilobite

After church on Sunday we appreciated some nature at Pioneer Park. Rayne grew up in St George, so the running joke was to point at a random bush and say "That's the bush that Rayne slept in! That's the bush where he went to school!" 



Elliot's willingness to pose for pictures is infinitely higher when he is on top of a cool rock. He was in full mountain goat mode and we had a hard time keeping up with him!

Rayne dutifully brought his game bag over every night, but it ended up looking more like this

We mustered up the energy to play happy salmon one night. It got a little heated. 

Bree directed, filmed, and edited this horror movie in the rental house.
