Trip to Richfield, UT

We went on a business trip with my brother Sean to Richfield, UT. We left Thursday night and came home Friday night. Even though it was a short trip, we packed it full of fun for the kids. We met Sean and Kenzie in Springville then drove to the hotel in Richfield. Sean had to go for work and he knows how much we enjoy trips and staying in hotels, so he asked if we wanted an all expense paid trip. Who could say no to that, even if it was to Richfield? We got to the hotel, which was amazing by the way. First things first, jumping on the beds!!! Then we got the kids ready to swim and off we went, swimming until 9:30 pm or so. Went back to the room and bathed them all and off to sleep. Sean left early to do his work. We got to stay and hang out at the hotel for a few hours. We really liked how this hotel was decorated, so Isabel and I went off taking photos of it all over. Then Quique played with the girls. They played hide and seek and pillow fighting. Then we were off. We went to a few sites with Sean for work. While he was doing his thing, we found a park to take the kids to. They got to run and play for a while. Then we had to go to the library, more work stuff but the kids loved it in the children's section. We read books and did puzzles. Then Sean was done with work. On the way home we stopped at Freemont Indian State Park. It was really neat. There were tons of petroglyphs throughout the entire park. We hiked to a few of them. One photo is of "Hundred Hands Cave", "Sheep Shelter", and others. After the first few, I could finally spot some of the petroglyphs before Sean (he's an archaeologist, just so you know). The kids fit through the bars for "Sheep Shelter" and took the photos of it for us (the crab looking ones). They also found a snake along the way. We were shocked Isabel was holding it and touching it all over. She was scared at first then she got "brave." It was a super fun filled day. The kids fell asleep on the way home, Sean too. They were all a bit tired. It was a great time. Thanks so much Sean!!!!
