Love Alissa's face in this picture.
Of course Brylee kept her distance from the shooting fountains, and just watched with us.
For some reason, Zack loves to sit on top of the geysers. Hmmm...
When the kids had had enough water, we went to the attached park to dry off. My little monkey!
More Brylee's speed.
After a comment from Katelin about how pointless this addition was, Grandma had to show them "how its done".
Katelin giving it a try.
The next day we took the advice of our good friends the Wilsons, and braved the heat to go to this "spin park". All the play equipment spins or rocks in some way, and they said it was a lot of fun. It was so hot we weren't able to stay long. Most the equipment was covered with shade, but some were too hot to handle. Madi enjoyed this spinning apparatus.
This one was like a skateboard, but Alissa tried it sitting since it was too hot to hold onto the handles. Look at her poor red hot face.
Yay, a smile!
Ryan and I trying our hand at getting dizzy.
A sunny rock climbing wall. Ouch. It was a great park, just better done in cooler temps!
The next day, we headed to downtown St.George to visit the old LDS Tabernacle, and another bigger splash park.
Mom got permission for Dad to play the piano in the tabernacle. I know he just loved it! (:
He is a very good pianist.
The water park was right next door, so we headed straight over. Brylee only got in the water after I put her there and made her follow me around. She wasnt extremely happy about it.
Managed to catch one little smile a little later. Notice she is out of the water.
That person in the middle of the giant geyser is Madi. I think it actually picked her up off the ground.
Zack loves fireman, so this was heaven to him. Watch out!
Our cute kiddos. Brylee was not happy I made her sit in the waterfall of death!
The park had a few sculptures, including this giant frog. Madi attempting to turn it into a prince.
Last up was the merry go round. A good way to dry off.

That night, some more of the family arrived. Aunt Tina came straight from girls camp and went right to work teaching the girls how to make bracelets out of embroidery floss.
The next morning was our family reunion. We headed over to the park for a pancake breakfast and games. With this one, they had to race to see who could get the toilet paper to break first, by squirting it with a water gun. There was also a hula hoop challenge, races and a ball game.
Madi and her cousin Casidi facing off.
Pinata time!
Lastly, water balloon volleyball!
Some family snap shots.
My sisters and I
Some of the grandkids. Not everyone could make it. The creepy guy hiding behind the tree is my nephew trying to stay out of the picture. I dont blame him. He isnt a kid anymore, so he didnt really fit in there.
So thus ends the Heaton family festivities. It was great to be with family again and catch up!
