St. George









We went to St. George with Chris's family. It was a blast and a much needed vacation. We went up with Chris's mom in a rented van. We left at about 11:30 in the morning, I was nervous about Jaylee in the car but she was great. Maybe cried a total of 2 minutes out of the three and a half hours. She slept for one hour and then was happy to just look out the window and play with toys. We only had one bathroom break so we got to the condo around 3. We got settled and waited for everyone to show up. Chris and I got to stay in a room with a queen and a play pin for Jaylee. When everyone else got settle we made diner, we had pork chops. We basically just hung out and got some rest.
The second day was pretty much girls day. First we went to the store to get the food for the rest of the meals. Then we went to get drinks from Swig and get peticures awhile the boys watched the babies. It was Emma and mine first time ever. I really enjoyed it and it was nice to be with the girls. When we got back we all got ready to go down to the pool. As soon as Jay got up Chris and I went down and joined everyone else. I was thinking Jay would love it because she loves the bath but she struggled at first. She didn't seem to like it but she warmed up to it and was smiling again. Chris took Jay and I layed out for a little while. For diner we went out to Texas roadhouse. After we stopped by the condo. Some people were to tired to go on the hike so Dawna, Cordell, Jenni, Josh, Emma, and I headed out.We went on a hike called Butterfly trail. It was so fun, we went around 8:30 so it was getting dark. We followed the path until we found the cave. We thought it was going to be a small cave underground by the was Cordell described it but it was massive. We helped eachother down and went into the cave. It was so much fun! When we turned our flash lights off it was almost pitch black except for the glow sticks that we braught. It was so cool, I am so glad that I decided to go. We started heading back and you could tell that Cordell was a little actious to get back to the car. The hike wasnt that long, we were able to get back to the condo by 9:45.
On the third day is was the guys day. We stayed at the condo with the babies so that the boys could go golfing. Then us girls took the babes to the store just to look around. Awhile we were in target getting toys for the pool Aubri triped awhile chasing Tara and hit her head on a display case. It sounded painful and when she got up she was bleeding. We were a little worried. To make her feel better Jenni got her a slushi and when she gave it to Aubri, Aubri said "and some popcorn" ha ha that girl knows how to play her cards. She would calm down and start crying again, we thought she might have a head ache. We went by Swig again and got some drinks and treats. Then we put Jay down for a nap and got ready to go to the pool. The guys went down to practice putting and maybe play some basketball. Then we met up at the pool. Jay had to ease up to it again but she seemed to do it faster this time. She was in the pool for quite awhile and then Dawna took her up awhile Emma, Jenni, and I stayed to tan. I got a little burnt on my shoulders but I'm loving my tan. For diner we had baked potatoes, and steak. Later that night we went on a small hike to Dixie Canyon. It was so pretty because on one side it was all the orange rocks and then when you climbed to the top you could see the whole city. Chris didn't like that he was getting dirty and that the hike was longer than he thought but he survived. Josh really wanted to get Sub Zero, so we all went together. By the time we got back Jay was ready for bed. She went down and we all just chilled together. Everyone got ready for bed just as it started to lighting and thunder. So instead of going to bed right away Dawna, Josh, Emma, and I sat on the swing out on the deck and watched it as we cuddled our blanket it was very cool to watch of fun to talk. I can't believe our trip is coming to an end.
The next day we woke up got our stuff together and cleaned up. We got in the car and headed home by 9:30.
