Girls St. George Trip 2014

Another girls St. George trip has come and gone and as always we had a blast. 
Wednesday, June 25th
We left Orem, around noon.  We stopped in Springville to pick up Stacy.  We drove to Beaver, then stopped so the kiddies could use the bathroom and run around for a bit.  When we walked into the gas station to use the restrooms we had Myrn, Amy, Stacy, I and 10 kids.  We got the strangest looks.  I think people thought we were Sister Wives. 
After our stop in Beaver, we drove the rest of the way to St. George.  Mason did pretty good in the car, but Tanner was a different story.  He pretty much cried the whole way down.  I felt so bad that Stacy and Oakley had to endure with his crying.
After getting to St. George we unloaded the cars then Myrn and I went and picked up pizza from Little Cesar's.  After eating dinner we went for a much needed late swim. 
After our swim we came back to the condo and got the kids ready for bed.  Tanner fell right to sleep, but Mason had a hard time falling asleep unless I was lying in the bed with him.  He finally fell asleep around 12:30, but slept the whole night through.
Today was also Tanner's 3 month birthday!!

Amy and Myrn went to Wal-Mart to get our food and groceries for the next couple of days.  Stacy and I sat back at the condo with the rest of the kids. 
After Amy and Myrn got back we ate breakfast then got ready to go to the pool.  With 10 kids, it was hard to do anything or go anywhere.  So we spent most of our time at the pool.  We had so much fun: swimming, sitting out in the sun, and eating popsicles when it was roasty toasty outside.  After out swim, we came back to eat lunch.  Mason was so tired that he fell asleep in the high chair.  He's never done this before, poor little guy was just so so tired.  I went and layed Mason in on the bed where he took a 2 hour nap.

After Mason woke up, Myrn and I went and checked into our hotel.  Some of us had to stay in a hotel this year because grandma and grandpa's condo was being used and there were just too many of us to stay in just one place. 
After checking into our hotel, we came back to the condo to go for another swim.  After our swim we went and got Olive Garden take-out for dinner and Dairy Queen blizzards for dessert. 
That night mom and Lin came down.  Mom, Myrn, Mason, Tanner, and I stayed in the hotel while the others stayed at the condo.  Both Mason and Tanner slept great.

Mom, Myrn, Mason, Tanner, and I woke up and got ready for the day then headed over to the Egg and I for breakfast.  After breakfast we started the morning out with a nice swim. 

After our swim I took Mason back to the condo where I fed him lunch and he fell asleep in the high chair again.  We went for another swim that night, then came back to the condo and fed the kids dinner while Myrn and Lin went and picked up Poncho and Lefty's for dinner and Nelson's Frozen Custard for dessert.  Mom, Myrn, Mason, Tanner, and I headed back to the hotel.  Mason finally fell asleep around 2 in the morning.  Finally Mason snuggled up to my mom and fell asleep!!

We woke up, got ready for the day, then headed back to the condo to go for one last swim.  After our swim we finished cleaning the condo then headed out on the road.

While we were cleaning the condo I looked out the door and found the older kids playing games on the Ipad.  I saw Mason sitting right there by them.  He wants to be just like them when he grows up. 

  On our way out of St. George we stopped at McDonald's for dinner.  Tanner cried most of the way home, but Mason did great as long as he was watching his favorite movie Mulan. 

We had such a fun trip to St. George.  We were so happy to see Casey when we got home.  We're excited and already planning our 2015 Girls St. George trip and hopefully Meg can come with us next year too.
