30 October 2016 - St. George & Halloween

Emily and Jessica were on the high school volleyball team this fall. Their team was very good, two-time defending state champions. As a result, Jessica and Emily, being new players, didn't get to play much. In the semi-final match though, with the game pretty much in hand, Jessica got into the game and ended up scoring the winning point.

This is a picture of the seniors with their coach.

There are lots of smiles in this picture, but what you don't see is that there are some tears as well. In the championship match, the girls' school lost in three games, 15-13 in the final game. It was close and hard-fought, and especially for the senior girls, a tough pill to swallow to go out on a loss.


With a couple of days off from school, we went to St. George for a short break. We went 4 wheeling in the mountains above Cedar City while Jessica did a college overnighter at SUU. The next day, we went 4 wheeling west of St. George. My dad took us to Bloomington Cave. You need a permit to explore it, so we only went into the entrance, but now we're motivated to get a permit and go back to see more.

It was still warm in St. George, so after our 4 wheeling excursion to the cave, we took the boat out to Sand Hollow. Here's Emily in a short cliff jump.

We also took the paddle board for a season ending float.

On Halloween, Madeline was Adrienne's escort for her first trick-or-treat.
