Over Memorial Day weekend we planned a wonderful getaway to St George with Jason and Aimee. We headed out Thursday morning and had quite a pleasant drive. We arrived to slightly cooler temps then we expected and billowing winds! We had some major ideas of what we wanted to do, but by the time we got there, we just wanted to relax. We attempted to take the girls swimming the first day, but the wind was so strong they were both shivering within ten minutes (Aimee and I were too!) I wish I had pics, it was cute, but every time we went to the pool I forgot it!
The next day the wind blew just as hard, but we went and hiked around the Dixie Sign and Crack in the Wall anyway. The view was beautiful and so long as you were down between the rocks you didn't feel like you were going to blow away.
We felt like we were going to get blown over the edge here! Maegan didn't like that at all!
The girls took naps when we got back to the hotel, so we took it easy the rest of the day. The boys even went and worked out at the gym and visited the hot tub while Aimee and I tried to get the girls to go to bed...which proved tougher then we thought.
The next day we went to a park and played for a couple of hours. Threw around the football, Maegan played on the playground and we all just soaked up the sun! Maegan spent 30 minutes in the swing and made a new friend who was swinging next to her. It was so cute! And then she wanted to throw the football. She is definitely her Father's daughter!
Our last night there we went and toured the Brigham Young Summer home. It was a wonderful tour and really cool to learn more about the history of the saints when they first arrived in St. George. I took this as we were sitting on the porch waiting to go in. Apparently Maegan was famished because she decided to chew on her shirt....not much nutritional value there....
Back at the hotel she was pretty wild...we finally turned on Cars and got her to settle down and she suddenly became very relaxed. Here she's just chilling on the bed. In the one below, we asked her to pose for us, and this is what she did...we were laughing so hard!
We decided to come home a day early since us parents wanted a break. The next day after a beautiful uninterrupted nights sleep we went to dinner and a movie while our wonderful parents babysat! It was a wonderful weekend with amazing friends and I can't wait to be able to do it again!
