And Then There Was Utah

Beau affectionately called southwest Utah the burning pit of hell. I should not actually say "affectionately"; the heat was horrible. The thermostat below is what the inside of our camper temperature was despite the use of our air conditioner. Each morning we'd wake at 6:00 to 90+ degrees and go to bed each night at 10:00 to 105 degrees with it peaking at around 115 during the "heat" of the day. Imagine walking outside to what feels like the heat pouring out of an opened fully pre-heated oven ready for cookies! Except no cookies. It's you baking. 

We stayed two weeks in this RV spot around St. George, Utah. We did have some great highlights. 
1. The kids learned how to burn things with a magnifying glass and the heat of the sun. (Pretty sure I'll regret this lesson in the future.)
2. Kids were invited to a birthday party at the campground and made some friends.
3. Kiddos were able to attend Vacation Bible School at a local Baptist church and they had a ball! 
4. Caroline learned how to work the quarter laundry facilities. Good for her; good for me!

            And we all saw some beautiful sites throughout, but more to come on that in the next post!
