The Beginning..... Our St. George Get-Away

So we decided to take a trip to St. George for the weekend. We left on a Friday and we planned on staying through the weekend and letting the kids miss a few days of school. Me and my kids and my sister-in-law Mandy and her 2 kids and Matt's mom came. We all decided that we

needed to get out of Logan to some warmer weather.

So kinda funny.... we have done these trips quite a bit and they end up getting harder and harder everytime we go because we are adding more kids to the equation. It use to be " Lets go on a girls trip and bring our babies. We can do some shopping and go lay out at the pool and get tan." Now it is... "Let's go to the parks, the pools, the kid stuff and if we are lucky we can hit a few stores and definitley NOT get a tan." So what I am trying to say is that it use to be a girls trip and now it is a KIDS TRIP. But I am fine with that. I am just warn out after the trip is over. I also noticed that we use to go out to sit-down eating places and now we just get take out and take it home or to a park. It is funny how our lives change so much when we have kids. THAT IS WHY GIRLS PLAN "GIRLS ONLY" TRIPS. You just need them every once in awhile to keep yourself SANE!

The trip was alot of fun. We did get to go to the outlets and to Target shopping. But the kids were not great shopping, so we did mostly kid stuff. We went swimming to this really fun indoor place. The kids loved it. And we went to a bunch of parks. We found a really cool park that I bet cost like $300,000 or more to build. Awesome! We also went to the Main Street Fountains and we took the older kids to the RED ROCKS for a little hike. The kids were behaved for the most part. We did have a few melt downs when they were so warn out each night.

The only problem we did have was that I had some crazy bug in my gut that made me sick the whole time. I had it before we left, but I just assumed it was a 24-hour bug and that I would be fine. I took Immodium on the way down just to be safe. But the rest of the time, I was crapping and I was even throwing up. My body just wanted everything cleared from it. I thought I had salmonella or ecoli or something. So I did have to go to the Insta Care there and give them a nasty sample. Once I started taking the Antibiotic I started feeling better. But it was kind of a crazy weekend. Did not get alot of sleep cause the toilet was my best friend all night. I tried to keep up with my kids, but I was really tired and dehydrated and warn out. I had no appetite either. And I was so afraid to go places in case I crapped my pants. I was always making sure that where we were had a bathroom facility. Anyway, they still have not found anything wrong with me. So I have no idea what the heck was wrong with me, but I never want to feel that way again.

Well as you can tell, I have learned to make collages with my pics. So check them out. They would not all fit on one blog, so I spread them out among 3 blogs. We took alot of pics. We had super fun. The car ride was a little crazy though with screaming babies, pooping babies, and babies throwing up. The kids trip was fun, but now I need A GIRLS TRIP. VEGAS, ANYONE???
