St. George Vacation

We just got back from our St. George vacation. It was a success as usual. 2 Fridays ago I spent the day cooking and packing to get ready to leave for vacation. Scott couldn't take work off so I was on my own. I got up early Saturday morning and loaded things up and drove straight to Salt Lake. We met the Cannons at their house while they finished packing and then we went to lunch at Hires. I pawned off all of my kids and drove alone to Beaver. After that Jeff drove my car and I slept in Janet's car. We made it to the house and had dinner and went swimming. The rest of the week we played games, went swimming, went to movies, went to the Bear Paw, had a Harry Potter movie marathon, went shopping, went to the botanical gardens, karaoke, and more. Never were we more hungry and too full always at the same time.

I put Ryan back in a diaper which pretty much made it the best vacation ever. The kids had so much fun because we have had a pretty lame summer up to this point. Ryan has never really been in a pool for longer than 5 minutes at a time and this vacation he became a fish. I was really nervous in the beginning because I wasn't sure how well his floaties were keeping him up and how he would do. He almost immediately went off the slide all by himself and we couldn't keep him from swim, swim, swimming the rest of the time. He would jump off the rock cliffs and he was just a crazy dare devil. It was quite the shock for me. The other kids loved swimming as well. Piper is super tan now and Gabby's oh so fair skin was barely kept from getting too burned.

I LOVE when Corbin is cute with Ryan.

Sparklers! Poor Ryan burned his hand bad on one of those. OUCH!

Time to VEG out.

Silly Ryan

Ha. Love this.

My old roommate happened to be in the Salt Lake area this week as well so we were able to meet up. I just loved meeting up with her. Love her so much.
