St. George Vacation

We were so lucky to spend the last week in St. George. I say, lucky because the weather there was moderate, but we heard that the weather back home was AWFUL! So if you know me at all you know that I really LOVE the SUN. So anytime I miss a snow storm or grey clouds and I have sunshine instead it's a good day! Thanks to Ashley and Brian they outfitted our kids with the BEST pool toys this year! All the cousins had SO much more fun because we actually had toys to play with this trip in the pool. It was so fun!

This swimming experience was SO fun. Alayna learned to swim across the pool. And so did Jake! Honestly is was so adorable to watch them learn new skills and have fun while doing it! My dad dared them $1 to swim out to him, and they both did it! Way to go kids!

Here is how Jared spent his vacation...reading book after book. I think he needed some much needed mental get away from real life to his intense (24 like) books. Let's just say in 5 days he finished two and a half books! I think he was internally happy that he took a pretty good spill on his mountain bike the 3rd day in because his arm was torn all up and open wounds, that he elected to sit by the pool and read instead of swim the last few days! Either way I was so happy to have him on an entire vacation (with the kids!) Let's just say when he's around to help it actually feels like a break or a vacation!
