Family St. George Trip

Casey, Mason, Tanner, and I went on a little vacation to St. George with my family at the beginning of May.  We had a great time riding dirt bikes, putting together puzzles, eating out, swimming, and spending time with family.
April 30, 2015--Casey and I left around 10:00 in the morning and headed down to St. George.  The kids did great in the car on the way down.  We met Ry and Meg in St. George around 4:00.  We went and checked out the pool, did a little bit of shopping, then went to Brick Oven for dinner.  Later that night, mom and dad, Daniel and Stacy, and Amy and Jared arrived in St. George.  Today was a great start to a fun vacation.


May 1, 2015--We woke up early the next morning.  Casey and I were happy to have the boys sleep almost through the whole first night on our vacation.  We don't go places very often, so the boys aren't used to sleeping in other places then their own beds.  So we were happy to have them only wake up a few times during the first night.
We started the morning with a cereal breakfast, then got ready for the day.   The rest of the family met at our condo and we loaded up the dirt bikes and got ready to go to a nice riding spot to ride them.  I was so excited for Mason to be able to spend the day riding 4-wheelers and dirt bikes since he loves those kinds of things.
We drove about 30 minutes until we arrived at the riding spot.  We unloaded the bikes and spent the day out in the dessert riding bikes.  Mason loved riding anything that anyone would take him for a ride on and Tanner loved playing in the dirt.  We ate lunch out at the riding spot.  Soon it got to be pretty hot and so we packed up the bikes and headed for home to the condo.
We spent the evening swimming in the pool.  Mason loved the pool, especially the hot tub.  Tanner was a little unsure of it all.
That night we went to dinner at Cafe' Rio then the boys went to see Avengers.  I put Mason and Tanner to bed, then put a puzzle together with Meg while eating our Nielson's frozen custard.









May 2, 2015--We woke up the next morning.  The boys didn't sleep as well through the night so when Tanner started to cry I picked him up and he fell back to sleep on me.
We ate breakfast, got ready for the day, then headed out again to the riding spot.  We spent the day riding bikes again.  I'm pretty sure Mason and Tanner got a little dehydrated on this trip.  They both had high temps through out the trip.  Casey was pretty tired from being up with Mason the entire night before that he fell right to sleep in the shade at the riding spot.
Casey and I checked in a little early this day, since Mason and Tanner weren't feeling very good.  We took them back to the condo where they crashed for about 3 hours.  When they woke up they seemed to be feeling a lot better so we took them swimming at the pool.
That night we had Papa John's pizza at the pool club house.  We had the pizza delivered.  When they delivered it, they ended up delivering the wrong pizzas, so I called and they gave us free pizza.  A few minutes later they delivered the right pizza.  When we opened up the box, the pizza was completely squished.  We couldn't help but laugh the entire night over the squished pizza. 



May 3, 2015--The next day was Sunday.  We woke up and got the condo cleaned then headed to church.  After church we came back to the condo and packed up the rest of our stuff in the car, then headed back over to the other condo for lunch before we headed home.  We had a yummy lunch of BBQed hot dogs.
We helped clean up, then decided to call it a day and head home.  Tanner wasn't feeling very good and was beyond ready for a nap, so we headed home a little earlier then the rest of the family.
We got home safely and put Mason and Tanner to bed.  They got a good nights rest and they were both almost back to 100% by the next day.



We had such a fun trip to St. George with my family.  I grew up going to St. George and riding dirt bikes with my family, so it was fun to carry on the tradition with Mason and Tanner.  We're excited for our next St. George trip.

  1. I love your hair this length! It is so perfect.
    I grew up riding dirt bikes and while it is fun, I love the 4 wheelers better. Lets just say getting married spoiled me. :)
    Glad you had fun despite the boys being dehydrated. It is so hard to convince them to drink!
