A weekend away.............

This last conference weekend we were able to get away on a much needed vacation down to St. George. We went with my brother and his family and the kids just had so much fun. My parents have a condo down there which makes it so nice to have a home to stay in and the kids were able to just go crazy. They spent so much of their time just out front riding their scooters and looking for pecans. But we were able to get in a few other fun things while we were there when the weather was nice.

Here the kids are riding the kid go-carts at the Family Fun Center. They had a blast driving their own cars and then we took them on the bigger ones after.
Out in front of the condo there is a big tree that all the kids wanted to get up onto so we had to snap some pictures. Here is Tanner and his cousin Hannah.

Also they have those big ditches that always have water running down them. The kids got such a kick at putting in a toy boat and catching it down on the other end. They could have played for hours doing this.

There is a pretty new lake called Sand Hollow and it is so fun to take the kids there. There is nobody ever there and they have the red sandy beaches. The kids loved being able to get their feet wet and dig in the sand. It wasn't quite warm enough this day to get into the water, but they still had a great time. It's just so beautiful there.

Our last day there we found this splash park that is at the city center. It was so nice this day and so we spent more time here before we left to make the drive home so they could play in the water. They loved it.


Overall it was a great trip and I can't wait until we can get away again. It was especially nice to get away from the snow. Dave was sick most of the trip and was such a good sport about still doing things. Thanks babe for taking off time to take us on this little getaway. Love ya!

I love that we live in a place that it's not that far to get away to a vacation spot.
