Southern Utah Trip Day 1

We had a memorable trip to St. George this summer! 
The goal for Day 1 was to make it to Ogden, Utah. 

Our travel plans were interrupted while driving on the freeway in Meridian, ID.  We heard a loud *POP* and hissing.  Thinking it was a tire, we pulled over to investigate.  It was not a tire, but our air conditioner that had blown a hose and sprayed fluid everywhere.  Fortunately, we could drive our car to a mechanic and get the problem fixed.  But we desperately needed a/c since temperatures in St. George were over 100 degrees.

We finally found a mechanic to fix it that day. He recommended a great splash park in town to visit and we passed the time here.  The kids didn't even know the difference, they had a blast.  By 8pm we were back on the road.


This park was perfect for the baby and Hyrum-since he wasn't supposed to submerge his finger, but could still get it wet.




The park had giant drums and xylophones for the kids to bang.


The girls enjoying a splash!

More to come...

Gotta love car problems in Idaho! I think we went to that same splash park last year with the Patterson's. It looks like you were there on the right day though, not to crowded! Fun!
