St. George Weekend - Sand Hollow Reservoir

While we were in St. George, Mike wanted to check out the Sand Hollow Reservoir.
It is called "Little Lake Powell" and he wanted to see if it lived up to its reputation.


It was really pretty, and had these gorgeous red sandy beaches.
The boys had fun splashing around in the lake.
It was pretty shallow too so it wasn't too cold.
It was pretty crowded though.
And windy...ahhh!  The darn wind all weekend!

While it was really fun, we decided that it we wanted Lake Powell, we better actually go to Lake Powell.
Once we got home, Nate's sister Emily and her family came over for a BBQ.  We told them about our day and Emily's husband Scott told us that it is always windy at the reservoir.  Plus, he told us that they have swimmer itch there.  Little bugs that get into your skin and make you itch for a week until they die.  Gross!  I'm so glad I didn't get into the water.  And this lake has those mussels that aren't supposed to be spread from lake to lake.  So you would have to decontaminate your boat after going.  If we lived in St. George, it would be a fun place to go.  But I'm not sure it's worth taking the boat all the way down there...

It was another fun day in St. George though!
