We have learned that if you can get to the splash pad or water park by 10 am you can get a few hours of fun in before it gets too hot. We love the water park downtown St George, wish they had it when I was young.
If you can get to the park before 10 am you might be able to run around the hills and actually play on the slides and things for a little bit, but not too long.
Grandma's house is always stocked with plenty of Popsicles. She gets the sugar free ones so we don't have a lot of sticky hands! The kids are all watching me perform a little musical that is super educational, they are not watching movies- that wouldn't be educational.
Nate has a cousin, Taylor, who is exactly his age. They play so cute together. Taylor is the king of boy dress-ups and when Nate plays with him he will do the dress-up thing a little bit.
One of our summer traditions is to go to Tuachan. We have done it for the past 5 years with the kids. This year it was amazing again. 
I loved the Tarzan costumes. Doesn't this guy look like a real gorilla?! We went with my aunt, cousin, her boys, my mom, my nephew, and my girls.
This year we did something we haven't done before in St George. We took swim lessons. It was wonderful! Everyone improved so much. I am a huge fan of semi-private lessons now.
Zachy spent every morning watching and waiting until he could throw the pool toys in for the kids at the end of the lesson.
We spend everyday with my brothers cute kids, Austin and Taylor. The kids get along so well and have so much fun together!
Other highlights not pictured- Eclipse movie premier, Eclipse movie, Pizza Factory, home decor shopping, Cafe Rio, swimming, and Mortal instrument book series read.
What a fun 2 weeks!!

Looks a great trip. That gorilla costume looks awesome. I'm surprised Grandma lets all the children sit on the couch with the popsicles, my mother would never allow that.
I went to St.George once in January and it was super hot then, can't imagine how hot it must have been in July.
Sounds like tons of fun!
wait- mortal instruments?? What books are those?
This blog post title (Hot and Fun) was also the title of me and Marc's recent weekend away to Carmel.
just kidding. I don't know what came over me--just that I'm going to bed now.
And I don't want to hear about hot. (110 in Phx yesterday). miss ya!
Sweet! Too bad I didn't run into you.
