St. George

When I woke up to snow on that crazy day in May, I needed to get out and run to somewhere warm. So with 3 days before the long Memorial weekend, I planned a trip to St. George. It was very spontaneous, but such a great trip with our little family.

One of the highlights of the weekend was seeing one of my best friends Amy. Her and I grew up together as our families were very close and we have some of the greatest memories. Unfortunately, I never see her anymore now that she lives down south so this was a real treat to catch up and watch our kids have fun together.

Her oldest, Brianna, was so cute with Capri and the two really hit it off. I love this picture of them with Brianna squatting down to Capri's level and Capri's hand on her shoulder...
The first day we were there, we went to Hidden Valley Park that had an awesome splash pad and the best type of play equipment out there-shaded! Roman was having a blast and I think you can see it in his face...

Capri was a huge fan of the swings...surprise, surprise!
In the hotel room (aka "the tiny house")-wow, I have three kids!
On Saturday evening, Amy invited us over to her place for dinner. It was so great to have the kids playing outside while the adults could have a few minutes to chat and eat. Ice cream was had by all and enjoyed by all...

Audrey, Roman, Brianna and Capri

As you know, Roman is still working on his verbal skills. Quin, Amy's son, has autism and doesn't speak much at all so when these two got together, there was this mutual understanding of one another...so sweet...

Me and my munchkin...
We ended up going back to the park the next day for more wear-yourself-ragged kind of play. It got pretty warm so when the ice cream truck came by, Tucker and I totally caved and bought ridiculously expensive orange cream bars...totally worth it!
Karoline was an angel on this trip! I couldn't believe how easy it was to bring her along, especially considering she slept in her car seat at night. She was such a trooper and we thoroughly enjoyed having her along...
She loves her daddy and to have him for three days was absolute heaven.
The new favorite toy in our house is Tucker's iPhone. You would think we would ban it during vacation time, but we gave in-I know, we are awesome in the discipline area. Capri wouldn't even look up for a picture, she just smiled and continued to play...
We had such a nice getaway in the sun, reunion with friends, and all around a great time with our kids!
