St. George - there and back

Wow! Talk about a quick weekend get-away. We arrived in St. George Friday night around 11:45 pm, and returned home Sunday afternoon around 2:30 pm. Jed knows a drug rep who has a second home in St. George that she rents out to other drug reps. So he secured the home for us for the weekend: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large kitchen and great room. This was the 2nd time I've stayed in the house, but the first time for Tony and our girls! And definitely NOT the last.

Saturday morning arrived early! At 4:30 am for Jo & Cy, and at 6:00 am for us. We held the kidlets off until 7 am and then hit the breakfast table. We fixed Eggos for the kids. Yummy!

I cannot tell you how GOOD THE SUN FELT on our faces, necks, backs and bodies!
Love the double strollers :)

Jo Jo's in control
We went to one of Jed's softball games, played on the jungle gym/slides, came home, ate lunch, and rested (pictured above). We then went to the aquatics park - NEW!! - and played in the chlorine saturated pools. Carly & Spencer took Gage & Reese down the big, twisty slide. JoJo, Tony and I played with our little ones and enjoyed their excitement as they bobbed up and down in the water and in their little floaties. Too bad I don't have pictures of that!
P.S. Mary-Gail is a fish!! A little fish that loves the water. She laid her head on the yellow float and was dreamy-eyed with Tony as they propelled through the water. Rebecca had Spencer wrapped around her fingers - she wouldn't let him go. She got a little cold in the pool and was shivering her bottom lip. I'm sure we could have stayed at the pool longer if it was warmer. Awwe! I love my babies!!!!! :)
We came home, changed clothes, and debated over dinner. We were first going to get steaks and grill out, then we changed our minds to hamburgers, then we changed our minds to pizza and finally ended up getting Chinese. How that happened, I don't know. But Chinese it was and it was good. Later that night Gage got sick and threw up 3 times!! (No it wasn't the Chinese). Poor Gage. But, he has the BEST mom who cared for him through the night. JoJo is amazing - I just don't know how she does all that she does.
