Kurt & Kelsey Trip: St. Thomas

The day after Peter'sBaptism & Halloween, we began travelling again! I drove the kids to Idaho and then Kurt & I flew to St. Thomas for a week of relaxation!

Semi-relaxation anyways. These are about half of the stairs we had to climb each day to get back to our bed & breakfast. 

 Our bed & breakfast room - it was a lovely little place.

There were iguanas and other lizards everywhere!

View from our island tour bus. The island is only about 5 miles x 6 miles, so we did a driving tour and walking tour and pretty much saw the whole thing!

Start of 99 steps up to Blackbeard's castle

View from our hotel- we went snorkeling and kayaking in the bay.

On a catamaran where we traveled to different locations to snorkel - we saw tons of sea turtles, sting rays, and of course tons of fish!

George excited to get picked up form the kennel. 

Family Trip: St. George & Halloween

The weekend after PineValley & the LAs vegas NF Walk we made a speedy trip back to St. George so Kurt could baptize his brother, Peter.

Lots of time in the car makes silly kids

Then we raced home so the kids could be home for their Halloween plans. 

Family Trip: Pine Valley & Las Vegas

Pine Valley is one of our favorite places and we don't get to visit there very much. The deer were there to welcome us when we arrived.

The girls names this rock "The Whale Rock" 

Las Vegas NF Walk - Kurt's sister, Elaine, works UNLV and for the last few years she has organized the Las Vegas NF Walk. This is the first year we've been able attend and it was fabulous!!

We loved seeing many of Kurt's family that we don't see very often. 

Peter Pan

In October, Nyah was in a local production of Peter Pan, Jr. She played Noodler, one of the pirates.

Austin helped with spotlights and is in the back row on the left side of this picture.
