New Years Trip to St. George

We went this past weekend to St. George with some friends and had alot of fun! We stayed with Matt's mom in her St. George House and Ammon and Alison and Dan and Marsh and their families stayed in a condo across town. We got there a day later than everyone, but when we got there, the kids needed to get out of the car and let off some steam. So we unpacked everything and Matt the two families up at the Rocks. They love this place and they want me to take their pcicture on every rock. So we have alot of rock pics. We stayed there till close to dark and then went and got something to eat and then all went swimming over at Winnans community pool. But of course I did not get any pics at the pool. With two little ones who can't swim it was kind of hard to take pics.

 We left Crew at the house with Nanny!

 They had 7 kids in that little hole. It was funny to see them all pile out. Even Casen was in there and did not get claustrophobic. I would have!

Then the next day we went out for breakfast with Winnan. And then she offered to stay home and watch Crew and Casen while we took the older kids on a fun bike trail. And of course I do not have any pics of that either. I get having fun and forget to take pics. The kids did pretty good on the trail...Corey fell a few times and got hurt because mom forgot to bring her the right shoes. Dan's family and Ammon's family met us over on the bike trail too. They rode for a good hour or so.

We went swimming later with the kids again and that night after Ammons family went home, we hung out with Dan and Marsh and their kids for a bit. Went to dinner and just chilled. Then about 10:00 the kids were getting tired and we decided to head back to the house. The kids only made it till 10:30 on New Years and me and Matt fell asleep on the couch right after midnight. We were laughing and saying that we are getting old, but that we both did not mind being on the couch on New Years falling asleep.

The next day, Dan and Marsh went home in the morning and we stayed for most of the day. We went out to get something to eat, then we looked at some real estate, which the kids did not love, and then we headed over to Snow Canyon and let the kids play in the sand dunes. They loved it and got pretty sandy. I was kind of stressed because Matt wanted to get home and so I did not get to bathe the kids after the dunes and our car is so sandy now! Sucks! We played there for about an hour and headed back to the house, cleaned up, and headed home. And oh WOW! It was a long ride home.  The longest day of my life. I did not feel great, I WAS SO TIRED and Crew was not the best. Trying to entertain an 11 month old for 6 hours is rough!

We love St. George. Everytime we go there, we find new fun stuff to do for us and the kids. I just wish it was a little closer.

 Crew loved it too. The sand was so FINE and cold! It felt good on our feet!

Forgot to post this pic! Casen had alot of fun on the rocks too!
