St. George Trip

August 1-August 4 we took our end of summer trip to St. George.  We went down with Mer and Garrett and then mom and dad came down the next day to spend the rest of our vacation with us.

We left our house around 11:00am.  We wanted to get started early enough so Mason would sleep most of the way.  The night before we left we had gone to get Mason a new car seat.  I was really worried about how he would do in his new car seat because he didn't really seem to like his other one, but he did great and he slept most of the way down. 

We finally got to St. George around 3:00p.m.  After we unpacked our belongings from the car Mason went down for another nap (he was one sleepy child).  After he woke up from his nap we ate dinner, during dinner Casey was teaching Mason how to crawl.  He took a few crawling steps and we got them on video.  It is so cute to watch Mason crawl.  At first he would only do it when no one was watching.  By the end of the trip he was getting pretty good at it! 

After dinner we went over to the pool for a little swim. When we got back from the pool it was about 9:00pm. We put Mason to bed then stayed up for a bit and ate Nelson's Frozen Custard while we watched T.V. Then it was time for bed.

Mason was up and going around 7:00am so Case and I decided to start our morning off by going to the pool.  After the pool we brought Mason back to the condo for his nap.  While Mason was napping Mer and Garrett went to the pool so Case and I decided to play a few round of Family Feud.  Case totally beat me. 

After Mer and Garrett got back from the pool and Mason woke up from his nap, we ate lunch then went shopping for a few hours.
Mom and dad arrived to the condo around 6:00pm.  After they arrived we went swimming, worked on a puzzle, then went to Brick Oven for dinner and Nelson's Frozen Custard for dessert.

This morning the boys decided to go shooting while the girls decided to go shopping.  After the boys returned we met at the snow cone shack for a delicious Captain America snow cone.  Then we went back to the condo to put Mason down for a nap and work on another puzzle. 

 

 



When Mason woke up from his nap we headed to the pool for our last swim of the trip. 

We ended our last night in St. George by going to Firehouse Subs for dinner and eating Nelson's Frozen Custard for dessert.

We woke up early to clean the condo.  After we got the condo all cleaned we went to church.  After church we came back to the condo and did our last finishing touches on cleaning the condo, made some sandwiches for our ride home and then we were off. 
We stopped at a park in Parowan, on our way home, to eat our lunch of sandwiches. 

On our way home we stopped in Springville to visit Casey's mom and dad and showed them Mason's new trick, CRAWLING!!
We got home around 7:30pm.  We unloaded the car and unpacked our suitcases.  Soon we heard some friendly visitors outside coming over to show us Mabel's new toy.  Ryan and Meg found a little red wagon for Mabel and they came over to take Mason and Mabel for a little ride. 

 

 

We had such a fun time in St. George.  We hope we can make it back again soon.
