St George - Sand Hollow

Part 2 of St. George.. Sand Hollow!! We headed out first thing in the morning and beat the crowds for the best picnic spot on the whole reservoir. We had shade all day, the beach was nice. We loved it here-we had so much fun! Dave spent a lot of time out in his little boat, trying to do some fishing with no luck. He would come swap out kids to give them turns after they would get bored sitting in the boat. The rest of us just swam in the lake and played in the sand. It was so much fun!!

Here's Dave and the girls out for a little ride.

Caden playing in the fun red sand- with his famous cheese smile!

Kaylee jumped off the front of the boat and wanted to go swimming, here shes trying to get back in the boat.

Briggs loved the water. He was mesmerized by the little waves coming in and kept trying to follow them back into the water.

We built a volcano

And then the lava demolished it.

There were these big puddles of water that were on the beach that after sitting in the hot sun was nice and warm. Briggs loved playing in the nice warm water.

Again is his nice warm pool

Caden was getting water to demolish the volcanoes they were making.

Aspen loved swimming. The water was actually pretty warm. I think the ranger station said it was 77 degrees that day.

More swimming

Although.. all that playing sure does wear a kid out!

Kaylee with her snorkels.. She never actually dared put her face under the water, she just liked to wear them.

Evidently the sand tasted good too!

More happy Briggs

I bet Caden would have played in the sand for ever if he could. He didn't really care about going swimming or going too deep in the water. He just liked to splash in it and walk out to about knee height but mostly play in the sand.

Aspen with her legs buried

A little view of the beach and the kids playing

Briggs out on a little boat ride with his dad.

We seriously loved sand hollow, and want to go back so maybe Dave will catch some big fish. I did feel bad, we got some pretty bad sunburns. None on the boys, but aspen went out fishing with Dave for a few hrs just sitting in the boat with her legs just baking. The top of her thighs were fried!! Kaylee had few little burns, but not too bad. Dave got some really bad burns on his legs and feet. Me and Grandma got burned but not too bad. We went through a whole bottle of aloe vera but it was so worth it!
