St. George - Day 4

Sunday we got up and got ready for church. We headed to a nearby chapel for sacrament meeting then back to the house for lunch. We relaxed for the afternoon, took naps, and just enjoyed being with each other. The kids played a little bit in the hot tub, then we headed to the grassy field behind the house for our annual butterfly release in honor of Samantha. The kids, like always, loved playing with all butterflies and chased them all around the field. We enjoyed dinner, put the kids to bed, and enjoyed some adult time. 

St. George - Day 3

Today we got up and headed out to do the short and scary hike. The kids loved it, but a few of the adults got a little nervous making their way through the little slot canyon. But everyone that went in was able to make it to the top. We hiked around a bit but it was already 100 degrees and not getting any cooler, so we headed back to the house. The kids headed back to the pool and spent the afternoon swimming. We watched the BYU game in the evening while the kids all played and took a dip in the hot tub. Btw...the hot tub. When we arrived on Thursday it was 110 degrees. Every day we had to empty out buckets of water and fill it with cold water from the hose. That's how hot it is in St. George...you can't keep the hot tub cool enough to enjoy it. lol It was also Bodie's birthday today. So we were able to celebrate that and sing to him after dinner.

St. George - Days 1 & 2

We've been planning this trip for months! I threw out the idea of going to St. George with my family and everyone but Ryon was on board and able to come! I found a beautiful house to stay in that would fit all of us and booked it. It ended up being SO much cheaper than each of us getting our own condo, and this complex was new and so nice. I was nervous on the way down bc I wasn't sure it was going to be as nice as the pics, but it was perfect. The owners were great to work with and let us check in a day early for only half the price as the other nights. Justin and Ali also came down early.

I finished packing up the van and we headed out after lunch. We stopped in Spanish Fork to pick up Josh, then continued on our way. We made it down quick and easy and checked into the house. Justin and Ali made it about half hour after we did. We all got settled then of course we headed to the pool. The pool was amazing and the kids couldn't get enough of it. We literally spent the rest of the day at the pool. 

Friday we headed back to the pool in the morning. Celeste and her kids arrived around lunch time, with my parents not far behind. We spent the afternoon swimming then headed to the Pizza Factory for dinner. Sean and Rachelle arrived in the evening and we all enjoyed spending time together. We played games after the kids went to bed and laughed...a lot.
