St. George

This last weekend we made the trek down to St. George with our children. We thought it might be fun to go with some friends down on our weekend off. As we were traveling Matt and I realized that this is kind of a first for us in vacationing with our kids. (Not counting camping trips that we make in the summer.) It was quite the adventure! It started out with Zack asking every few minutes if we were in St. George yet. Which at first was really cute especially the way that he says it, but after about 3 times it got old. We left Friday night hoping that the kids would sleep on the way down, but no such luck. Curtis did fall asleep for about a half hour. It was quite exciting with 7 kids and 6 adults in the house! On Saturday we slept in till 8:30 and then got ready for the day and went to the park. It probably was in the high 40's and low 50's while we were there. The kids played for a while then we got pizza, and then kicked a soccor ball around. It was fun! Sunday we went for a child size hike and got some good pictures. Then we got up Monday morning, and cleaned and headed home at noon hoping to hit nice roads. We were very worried on the way home, hearing all the reports about how much snow utah county had recieved that morning, however roads were really good almost the entire time and we came home to beautiful amounts of snow! Over all it was a fun vacation, not exactly restful, but fun!

I love it also that I can look at your blog and feel like I know your kids better. It truly is an adventure traveling with kids. I saw that you added The Alchemist to your book list. I read it and loved it, too. I also just finished a book I loved called These is my words.
