Sunny St. George.

Last weekend we took a trip to St. Geroge. We were all very excited to go. We left friday after all the kids were done with school. We finally hit the road at about 4:00. Unfortunatley, Paige gets car sick so we drugged her before we even got in the car. She slept for the first few hours of the trip. The other two watched Sleeping Beauty which I had bought that day for the trip. We stopped in Nephi for dinner and a break from the car and then hit the road again. After six hours in the car and about 100 are we their yets, we arrived in St. George at 10:00. The girls imidiately wanted to go swimming!!! We had to tell them no it was too late and the pool was closed. Which it was. They were a little dissappointed. In hind sight I am thinking we should have let them. When we arrived at 10:00 it was about 70 degrees, it never got that warm again all weekend until Monday when we left. (of course) We stayed in a Condo. It was awesome. We had two bedrooms and a murphy bed in the living room. We played the WII, went swimming(under duress, I really didn't want to go and it was freezing. I think it took three hours to get warm again), and went hiking in Snow Canyon. We had orginally planned on going to Bryce canyon but nobody wanted to do any driving. We found out that snow canyon was only ten minutes away so we thought we would check it out. I am sooo glad we did. It was fantastic. They had several short little hikes that the girls could do and we saw some really amazing sights. We also took the girls to see IGOR. It was okay. If I had to do it again I would save my money and just rent it when it comes out but it gave us something to do. On monday before we left we decided to hit the Red Cliff outlet shopping center. I love to shop and I love to get a bargain even more. We went to the Childrens Place outlet and found some great deals on winter clothes for the girls. While I was looking Maddie had to go to the bathroom so Jai took all the girls while I finished up. On the way to the bathroom they found a store that is a lot like build-a-bear. Paige insisted we had to go in. She and Hannah went to a birthday party for a friend in March at build a bear. Paige has been saving all of her birthday money and tooth fairy money($32) to buy an outfit for the animal she got. Unfortunatly, mommy hasn't found the time to take her and only her to the mall so she could spend her money. She has been saving it since March. How awful is that. We decided to let Paige and Hannah each pick out an outfit for the animals they had at home and we let Maddie choose an animal since she didn't have one yet. They loved it and couldn't wait to get home and dress up their animals. They played with Maddie's most of the way home. They didn't ask to watch a movie once. I was amazed. When we made it home their was SNOW on the ground!!! YUK. I am so glad we were in St. George and missed the blizzard.
