ROAD TRIP JOURNAL: Beaver and Cedar City

As our time in the USA was quickly coming to a close, we directed our vehicle towards Beaver, UT to spend more time with family and cousins. It was a fun week of being outside ALL DAY. We were in the mountains, we saw dogs, cows, horses, and many more animals. 

We all had such a good time. The Muggles did not want to leave their cousins at the end of our time there. The week seemed to go by so quickly and we did so much during our time there. So many memories with family!

One of the evenings our niece Cupcake decided to take all the kids to the golf course ponds to catch frogs. It was so much fun walked in the dark trying to not alert any of the neighbors around the area. When we got to the ponds, we found HUNDREDS of frogs just relaxing in the cool water. We tried to catch a few. Several tried but hesitated in fear or just were not fast enough. However, Lucky Dragon caught one! Lady Hiva also saw one in the grass as we were walking and pounced on it. We were laughing so hard at how fast she jumped on the frog to catch it!

As we were leaving the golf course employees started across to inspect the course at night. We all started running to the fence. It was so much fun and a memory of us all running away. 

 

We spent as much time with Ginger as we could. We had fun eating dinner with her and finding her around town throughout the week. 

Lucky Dragon wanted to do a pinata for his birthday (a bit early, but it gave him a chance to do it with his cousins). He, of course, chose to do one like a Minecraft character. haha

We had ice cream and cheese at the Creamery almost every day. We went to different pools to enjoy them too. Made the hot days a bit more bearable. 

A few times we did dance of parties with the Wii and Mason wanted to do a nerf gun war with his cousins. It was a bit wild. Those of us NOT playing made use of the decorative pillows on the sofa to save us from accidently being hit!

This sand pit provided HOURS and HOURS of entertainment. At any given moment you could find the kids out digging and creating in the sand. I was just glad they were being creative and not staring at some screen! HAHA

We stayed up late and played board games until we were all so tired we could not think and were saying odd things as answers! HAHA

We made a few trips up in the mountains and down to see the farm animals. The horses were a favorite. Especially the colt that was born just a few weeks ago!

My two Muggles were so helpful. We cleaned gutters, pulled weeds, fixed sprinklers etc. 

Many evenings were spent on the pickleball court. None of us are very good so it was a time full of laughter! HAHA

We tried a RAGE ROOM for the first time. We broke a lot of glass bottles, TVs, Monitors and other random items. 

Heather and her kids came up to SLC to tell us goodbye one last time! We were so glad that we spent so much time with Heather and Beau and their kids. 

Lucky Dragon was sad he was going to miss the Beaver car show for the 24th of July. But when we were in Cedar one day they had a car show along Main Street. We were so surprised. But it was a good surprise. We saw so many great cars!
