St. George Walkabout #1

For our most recent trip to St. George we decided to go explore and find some things we had never seen before. It definitely took some work and a lot of patience from people following us on the wild-goose chases (wild-geese chases?) (We weren't even looking for a goose, let alone geese. For that matter why, if a group of them are geese and one is a goose and a group of sheep are sheep, isn't one sheep a shep? I am confused. Where was I? Oh yeah...) We found some very cool things. Such as...

The alien guy was by far my favorite although it gives Natalie the creeps.

As you can tell the girls did not enjoy it at all.


These petroglyphs are about a mile hike away from a parking lot out past Ivins. Very worth the trip. We of course took this opportunity to teach our kids all about past cultures and respecting cultural diversity. They came away from the experience greatly enlightened and glowing with the fire of knowledge and understanding. Either that or they enjoyed jumping around on the rocks and making up names for the drawings. I wasn't sure... In any case after this experience Addie and her cousins went out to a rock behind casa de Randall in St. George and colored all over it with chalk saying that they were making petroglyphs. Sadly we do not have a picture of said rock as drawings made in sidewalk chalk are slightly less permanent than petroglyphs. Sprinklers can be very bad things.

Next post = next adventure = what Addie termed "Crystal Island." Stay tuned...
