Family St. George Trip

At the end of July Casey and I decided to go on a little St. George trip.  We left on Wednesday, July 30th and came home on Saturday, August 2nd.  Casey's brother Phil and his wife Shauna came with us. We enjoyed every minute we were there. 

Wednesday--I went to pick up Casey from work around 1.  We stopped at Arby's for lunch then started our 4 hour drive to St. George.  Mason and Tanner fell right to sleep.  We stopped in Beaver on our way down, where we let Mason run around for a bit.  We drove the rest of the way and got to St. George around 5.  We unpacked the car then Shauna, Tanner, and I went to the store to buy groceries while Mason, Casey, and Phil went swimming at the pool.  When we all met up again we had Pizza Hut for dinner then went to bed. 

Thursday--Our little family woke up around 8.  We had a cereal breakfast then headed to the pool while Phil and Shauna went hiking.  For some reason Mason hated the pool this trip.  He would swim for about 10-15 minutes then find the key to the pool and walk over to the gate and want to leave.  We spent about 30 minutes at the pool, before we decided to go back to the condo and fix lunch and put Mason down for a nap.  While I layed Mason down for a nap, Casey took care of Tanner. 

 

 

After Mason woke up from his nap we went back to the pool, where we stayed for another 30 minutes before coming back to the condo to fix dinner. 

Mason is like his dad in the fact that they are both home bodies.  Trying to convince Casey to go on a vacation is like pulling teeth.  Mason had a hard time vacationing on our vacation, so Casey would take him on rides in grandpa's Jeep.  Every morning Mason would wake up, run downstairs, and point to the garage where grandpa's Jeep was.  Mason was one happy camper when riding in the Jeep. 

After dinner we went to Nielson's for frozen custard then came home and put the boys to bed.  After putting the boys to bed, Casey, Phil, Shauna, and I stayed up and played an intense game of Family Feud. 

Friday--Our little family woke up and went to Burger King for breakfast.  After breakfast we went shopping while Phil and Shauna went hiking in Snow Canyon.  The boys were pretty tuckered out after our shopping trip so we came home, fixed lunch, then put them down for naps. 

 

After naps, Casey, the boys, and I went swimming.  Mason just wondered around and Tanner sat in his stroller while Casey and I played in the pool.  After about 30 minutes Mason was done!  By this time it was about 4:00 in the afternoon so Casey and I decided to take Mason to a park.  BAD IDEA!  It was like 105 degrees outside and no one wanted to play on the park in the hot hot sun.  Our little family decided to go to a jump on it place.  We happened to be the ONLY ones at the Jump On It place and we all had so much fun jumping around.  Mason especially had fun since we had the whole place to run around in.  We jumped for about an hour. 

After jumping, we went to Cafe' Rio for dinner, Nielson's for dessert, then back to the condo to put the boys to bed.  Casey and I rented a movie to watch after we put the boys to bed, but I accidentally fell asleep by Mason and woke up around midnight to find Casey watching the movie without me. 

Saturday--We cleaned up the condo and drove the 4 hours home.  We stopped again in Beaver for a restroom break where we got Dairy Queen ice cream. 

We had so much fun on our little family vacation.  I hope we can go again soon.
