Thanksgiving in St. George (LOTS of pictures)

This year since Asher had a whole week of vacation for Thanksgiving, we went to St. George to see Grandma and Grandpa's new house. It was fun to see ALL of Rulon's brothers and sisters and grandparents. On the way to St. George we stopped to see the Hoover Dam and new bypass bridge. Rulon and I even went to Las Vegas for a night without kids (first time in 2 1/2 years). We stayed at the Venetian which was quite luxurious and saw The Blue Man Group which was funny, thought-provoking, silly, and amazing. We also did a little shopping at H&M which I had been looking forward to for a while. After we got back to St. George, we had fun hiking around, playing with the dogs, playing ping pong, playing games, seeing Tangled and Harry Potter, doing a little Black Friday shopping, and of course enjoying a great Thanksgiving dinner made by Denice with pie afterwards at Rulon's Aunt Bonnie's house.lots of waiting at the airport

Sage and Kelton finally conquered their fear of dogs on this trip...good thing because of the Christmas present they have coming!
Shalene, Clay, Asher, Sage and I climbed up "the crack" above St. George. It was very claustaphobic but we made it!

We climbed up by the pioneer names up Snow Canyon-Kelton was like a little mountain goat all over these rocks.
