Family Vacation

We had a lot of fun in St. George. We got there on Saturday and were sad to find out the pool heater was broken. But despite it only being in the mid 60's the kids hit the pool EVERYDAY!!! The house Brady's sister chose for us was perfect. It had a large kitchen and gathering room, a game room, theater, and a bedroom for each family plus additional bedrooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. There were also 4 bathrooms. Needless to say there was a ton of space and plenty to do.

We went hiking, shopping, got main-pedis, (even Uncle Chad,) went to Fiesta Fun Center, and the Aquatic Center, and just spent lots of time hanging out and having fun. The kids had a blast and cried when we had too leave their cousins. The plan was to stay until Thursday, but a nasty Spring Blizzard changed those plans. The Denver group had to leave a day early to beat the storm and Grandmas and Grandpa had to get back to work. Brady had to go to Denver for work, so the kids and I left late to make the 3 1/2 hour drive home by ourselves. It went well, though the 44 ounce Mt. dew I drank to help me stay awake kept me up til 3 am (2 1/2 hours after we got home.)

I am really glad we went. Like many of our other trips focused around family gatherings, it's not about what you do, but rather who you spend your time with. We are very grateful to Brenda and Chad for making this vacation possible. We love and miss you guys!!!
