Duck Creek Village

We went to Duck Creek Creek Village (30 miles out of Cedar City) for our vacation this year. We went with Matt's family and rented a cabin. It was a lot of fun. This is Rylee (who got stuck riding with us) with our kids as we were heading out of town.

Lizzy cuddling with Dad to keep warm. The village was by a couple of lakes. We went to Navajo Lake. It was COLD!! The kids loved it.
Brady with the kids. This was on our "hike" to Cascade Falls. The trail was actually washed out, so we couldn't go too far. We stopped at a scenic overlook for lunch. Elizabeth had been hiking on dads back in a carrier and enjoyed her freedom. She enjoyed it a bit too much though. When she got too close to the edge of the cliff, Dad had to grab her. Unfortunately it was her left arm (the one that's been dislocated twice) and now it's been dislocated 3 times. We now know where the Insta Care in Cedar City is!!! Poor Liz:(
Ice Caves. It was quite a drop down. We were told there's usually a rope to help you down, but it wasn't there. I opted not to try to take Mason down. I was glad that's what I chose when both Caleb and Kayden were hurt in the cave. The boys forgot it was an "ice" cave and were running and slipped. Caleb's whole right side was scrapped up pretty good.

Caleb and Kayden playing Sorry at the cabin.

Kayden roasting his marshmallows to perfection!

Brady and Rylee trying to dunk Uncle Matt in the cold water at Navajo Lake.

Daddy and Lizzy with Grandma Stones around the campfire.

We had so much fun on our trip. I can't wait to go again- especially without a newborn! Actually Mason was pretty good and he had lots of cousins who wanted to help out. Thanks Newcomers!!
