Spring Break 2010

For spring break we were craving some warm weather. We didn't decide until last minute but decided to go to St. George, UT. We had perfect weather and the best part is there is an In and Out Burger there.
St. George was beautiful! We played in the water a lot, enjoyed the wonderful people and history there. All the parks had lush green grass that the city was still watering. (if you don't live in Col Springs, they are only watering a few parks due to budget cuts).

There was one park downtown that had a great fountain. The girls loved running in and out of the water. Reid decided he didn't want to get wet. His brother and sisters had a different idea. They not only got him wet but other spectators were yelling to hold in the water. Even he was laughing by the end of it.

We got home and still had a couple of days vacation. So we headed up to Bishops Castle. It was really neat that one man has done this on his own. There are a lot of stairs and some areas that unless you are real close to the kids they could fall. But the builder was there and loves to talk. He has been building since 1969 and no one has helped him.

So between the great weather of St. George and the snow we came home to we had a little bit of everything for the week. The best part is Mike and I got to go away just the two of us Saturday night. We were in a hotel with a baby next door that cried most of the night. So it made our kids and our bed even better to come back to.

The week was amazing and we loved hanging out together. We taught the kids how to play skipbo and read bed time stories every night. At first the kids thought I was being a dork. But then after a couple of nights they looked forward to the stories. Of course most good things must come to an end and we are back to reality......with work, school, church, scouts, soccer and dance festival and bunko on schedule for this week, we'll be lucky to get half the rest we did on vacation!
