The best baby shower ever...

I had 3 kids already, I definitely didn't need another baby shower. My sister and friends, however, thought differently. Not only did they throw me a very sweet shower, we all decided we were due for a weekend getaway to St. George. It was just what the doctor ordered. We spent the weekend lounging by the pool, eating delicious food, playing some tennis, taking a yoga class from our very own instructor, chatting away, and simply relaxing. Yes, it was absolutely glorious. What makes the trip that much better is this group of gals. I feel I can totally be myself with them. I can tell them anything, make a fool of myself. There is no competitiveness among us and no judgements made. Such good friends that I hope to have forever!

Our trip started out with a change of venue from Annelise's grandparents place, which is ridiculously big and nice, to my parent's place, which isn't so big and but nice enough. That's ok though, everyone was totally on board, even WITH my parents being there. My parents are so chill, everyone loves them.

So our trip was off to a great start! All we had to do was soak up every minute of girl time sans the endless errands, housework, chaperoning of our children, cooking, shopping, etc. Life is good when, instead, all we have to worry about is where to eat our next meal!

Some of my favorite moments…

Sariah is an incredible yoga instructor at Lifetime Fitness. She is insanely good. She offered to give us a class out on the tennis court one morning so, of course, we took her up on it. Let's just think about this for a moment. There I am, 35 weeks pregnant, large but not in charge of my body, and my center of gravity is nowhere to be found. It was pretty funny and thank goodness Jenn was with me in not taking it too serious! 

Tennis is too hard, but pickle ball is just right for me. Nice and slow is the way I like it. We had a lot of fun out on the courts and even my dad came out to join me in the "lesser" form of tennis.
Annelise, however, was the only one worthy of a picture..

Swig…love me a dirty diet coke and frosted peanut butter cookie.

Our yoga moves out in the pool were outstanding...
Sariah, awesome yoga instructor:

And ready-to-pop pregnant me...not quite there.

Me being the hugely pregnant friend, I definitely stood out in our group pictures. I just love this one of me in my wide, horizontal stripe tankini, and everyone else in their black bikinis. Even my dad started to sing, "One of these things is not like the other…one of these things just isn't the same." We all got a good laugh out of that one!

This is a more flattering pic for me...

Lot's of stunts, jumps, dives, and other craziness ensued at the pool...

 ...but I was good here, on my tummy, floating on my tube!

Here we are at one of my favorite eateries, 25 Main. We went there twice. Enough said.

And another favorite place for some breakfast grub, The Egg and I-it's an absolute must, especially after our workout that morning...

Awkward. Family. Photo.

I love these ladies! Thank you all so much for another fantastic getaway!
