Home Again Home Again, Jiggity Jig

We finally got home from Utah today. I am exhausted. We were almost there for 2 solid weeks! That's a long time. It was good but it's good to be home. On Monday mostly everyone went to Despicable Me 2. I asked Corbin if he liked it and he said "it was kind of gross." Ha. Apparently there is a minion bum in the movie that Corbin didn't appreciate. That night we went to Tuachan and saw Mary Poppins. It was pretty hot and long. It felt extra hot being pregnant. Pretty much everyday we swam for a few hours and went out to lunch and to a matinee. The movies I liked this week were Monsters University and the new Star Trek movie. One night Clark led us in a game of craps. That game is complicated. I sort of get it now a little bit. Another night we played The New Yorker for a few hours. That is my favorite. I love it and hate it.  We had a tennis tournament one night. Scott and I were out first since I pretty much have no coordination and can't hit the ball.

The weather was kind of crazy. It wasn't very hot at all. Especially considering it was 110 degrees in Boise before we left. A few days it was actually in the 70's and it was hotter in Boise than St. George. There was a rain storm one day, another St. George in July rarity. The Virgin river usually looks like puddles holding hands but after the rainstorm it filled right up and there were actually flood warnings and some flooding in Hurrican. Crazy.

The house we stayed in was BIG. The bedroom our family stayed in was almost the size of our house. It had 2 queen size beds, 2 big closets, and 2 big bathrooms. Crazy. Because I am a crazy sleep person I was able to build myself a little bed in my Harry Potter closet. Every night I would escape to my closet. It worked out great. I really should probably get some therapy. The house was very nice but it wasn't very well managed or maintained. So that was frustrating. It seemed like tons of the stuff was broken or would break. We didn't have cable or internet most of the week. The hot tub was barely warm. These are kind of minor things but when you are on vacation and you are paying for these luxuries you expect them.

As always the week goes way faster than expected and you still don't manage to do all you want to do. We ate a lot! Good thing I'm supposed to gain weight anyway because I did. My kids had so much fun playing with their Nana and Papa and aunts and uncles. It was the best! Thanks Nana and Papa for such a great vacation!

The Virgin River after the rain storm. This is tons of water for this river trust me.

Scott helped Corbin catch a lizard.

Cuddles.

Cute matching girls. Baby Greta is so chubby and so cute.

Getting ice cream in Beaver on the way down.

I love that picture! So funny.

I love this smiling boy. He is always smiling and he was a go getter in the water. He's my little fish.

Carole and Gordon.

I love that Piper and I are doing the same thing in this picture AND...

Pulling the same face in this picture. Ha!
