Happy Easter!!

"Did you have a good Easter, like me?"

We packed a lot into one weekend. At one point, I looked in our trunk and saw golf clubs, a fishing pole, a dutch oven and assorted other items. It's nice that St. George is now only an hour and a half away, instead of almost five. We enjoyed renewing our relationships with family members, and remembering, on Easter weekend, who makes the renewing of life possible.

Never too early to prepare for retirement by playing golf in St. George.

Rori got in some of her own practice at the "driving" range.

After golf, we tried our hand at a little fishing. Not much success, but still had fun.

Zion's National Park: The hike to the first emerald pool was fun. We rode the tram up the canyon as far as it would go (and back).

Rori was getting a little grouchy until we stopped at this place along the way:

Grandma's hat was a big hit.

Tram ride back to the car. Pictures of or annual trip to the Bit n' Spur in Springdale do not exist, but we did go, and had a great time, and ate too much, as usual.

St. George Kiwanis Club Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday:

The St. George temple glistens in the sunlight: Thanks to mom and dad for watching the kids while Ashleigh and I went to the temple early Saturday morning.

St. George Arts festival: Ashleigh and I go mainly for the food, but the kids seem to enjoy the face painting and balloons. Oh, and they have art there, too.

Happy campers: Our annual Saturday night dutch oven dinner at Red Cliffs. It spills over to Easter morning.

Horsing around with (second) cousins: (Red mud and red hair go well together)

Flynn family dutch oven cook-off: Good variety this year. My traditional enchiladas went down well, but the real hits were the curry dinner dish and the peach crepes breakfast. Kai hunting:

Rori's successful hunt:

My grandparents and their five children:

We had a wonderful time. Thanks so much to mom and dad for having us!
