Family Is A Fun Thing To Have Around (part 2)

After our Zion National Park adventures, we had a few more things on our list.  Namely, making homemade fortune cookies (the next thing on my best bites must make list), and going to Snow Canyon State Park.  We decided to make homemade fortune cookies while Thomas was at work and Jeremy was on a bike ride.  It was a little crazy, and we went through one hideous failure...but eventually we got it! We wrote our fortunes, baked the cookies, hurry hurry hurried to take them off the cookie sheet, molded them into the famous fortune cookie shape, let them dry and then dipped them in chocolate and decorated them! They turned our fabulous! I got the recipe from this website  http://www.ourbestbites.com/ check it, it's awesome!

We went to the sand dunes at Snow Canyon.  Of course all the kids LOVE LOVE LOVED it...it was a little bit of a hike to get out there, but once we got there it was awesome.  We ran around and got really really dirty and sandy.  All 4 of the kids were barely recognizable with the sand in their hair and clothes, but we had a good time.  We took some family pictures (obviously) and they turned out super cute. 

Again, matching...of course!

Marilyn and her cousins loved dragging their bums down the hills instead of walking, this was all they needed for a good time. 

Seriously, we really walked this far...without dying.

All and all, sand and dirt and everything else, it was such a fun weekend, such a fun day.  We are so grateful that Andrea and Jeremy and their kids came to visit.  We are so happy that we have family that are willing to leave the snowy north and visit us in southern Utah.  COME AGAIN SOON!!
