Summer Vaction 2011 (Part 2)- St. George-

The second part of our summer trip took us to sunny St. George.
We went there to see this cute man!
My Grandpa Hunter or the girls Great- Grandpa!
Lucy, Great-Grandpa Hunter, & Makayla
This was the first time that Lucy and Great-Grandpa had the opportunity to meet, and Makayla just loves this man. She is always calling him cute!

I am so glad we took this trip to see him. He is a special man and means so much to me but he is getting very old. I don't know if I will get to see him again since we live so far away. The time we got to spend with him was priceless! I love you Grandpa!
Makayla and Grandma
While we were down there we also took a trip to the St. George Temple. Makayla loves to look at Temples so it was fun to take her to a new one she hadn't seen before.

Our other reason for going to St. George was to take Makayla to Tuacahn (an outdoor theater) to see Little Mermaid! I was so excited for her to see this show, but we almost didn't! Long story short, when my parents and Makayla went to pick up the tickets they were told that we had bought tickets for the following week and not for that night. I was devastated! We put our name on a wait list and thought we were out of luck when a sweet women came by and listened to my sob story about being from far away, that we couldn't come back, and a sad three year old daughter. She some how found 5 tickets right in a row! It was nothing less than a miracle and an answer to a prayer!
Since we were a little flustered with all that was happening we forgot our real camera and had to use our phone ones, which are not that good, to take pictures. This is how they turned out.

Makayla and Ariel's Father.
My favorite thing about this picture was the fact that she told me afterwards that he was all wet when he touched her!

She was so excited to meet these two and couldn't stop smiling!
It was such a fun show and we are so grateful that we got to see it!
While vacationing in sunny St. George we took advantage of the pool at the hotel and swam our little hearts out! Lucy loved the water.
Lucy just chillin!
Makayla in the hot tub!
She has gotten so comfortable in the water, and has so much fun!
Lucy! She is just so cute!

On our way to my parents house we stopped at Cove Fort to walk around and let the girls out.
Here is a family picture from there. I love Lucy's face in this one!
All of us, minus Grandpa, on the fort wall!
This part of the trip was a lot of fun! We really enjoyed staying in a hotel and not having any responsibilities. We LOVED visiting Great-Grandpa. We also LOVED not having to share Grandpa and Grandma with anyone else or any of their regular responsibilities.
That is the end of summer vacation part 2!
Stay tuned for more!
