Tradition

Spring brings many TRADITIONS to our family as you may have noticed from some of our more recent posts. But the TRADITION that is most looked forward to is Hands Down our trip to Coral Pink. The Mohler Family has been camping in the pink sand each spring for 23 consecutive years. Coral Pink is a TRADITION that I married into and LOVE. Mostly because my kids enjoy it SO MUCH. So what makes this camping trip in the sand sooo much fun??

Maybe because the trip starts with a stop at The Pizza Factory in St. George for Garlic Bread Twists and Pizza.

And later leads into our kids each getting a turn Driving on the dirt road.



Then it turns into 5 days of constant, non-stop fun outside with an entire campground filled with family and friends. I mean what kids wouldn’t enjoy riding their bike, scooter, motorcycle, skateboard or Jeep around and around a big circle connecting the campgrounds? All-Day!

Grandmas Candy Store for picking up trash is a definite reason.

Along with the Tee-Pee shaped jumper house Grandma brings each year.

For the Big Boys their midnight Gooseberry ride on 50’s is a BIG reason. (This year Jason climbed into bed around 5 a.m.)


And I even enjoy taking Jason’s 4-wheeler for a ride or two! (He says it’s mine, but I don’t know that I would go that far.)


Or maybe it’s the constant attention the kids get from Grandma & Grandpa all week.




But for me it is usually some of the smaller things like sitting around the campfire on a gorgeous evening. Taking a walk with Jason, or one of my kids. Visiting with family members and friends that I don’t often get the chance to. Having my kids zonk out the minute their heads hit the pillow because they have played so hard each day. And this year a BIG reason for me was getting to just sit back without a baby and just enjoy watching my kids have fun.

Whatever the reasons may be, I am grateful to apart of this TRADITION!
