OUR ST. GEORGE GETAWAY

Me and the girls took off for St. George after Stephs ball game on Friday. I had had it with the yucky weather up here and I needed some sunshine. We got there about 10:00, ran to the store and stocked up on food. We settled in and went to bed looking forward to the sunshine in the morn. In the morn on Saturday me and Steph spent some time on the patio feeling the wonderful warmth of the sun rays. I had almost forgot what it felt like. I took Schindler's List with me to read in hopes that I would finish it. Steph started running a fever the night before we came and was still running one. She was very mellow. Sam and Mike did what they do best.....sleep in.

After we all got up we headed on down to the pool. I took my Schindler's List with me and read while Mike took Elvis and me and read that. Steph didn't do a whole lot, but we all enjoyed soaking that sun up! Oh and woo hoo I finished my book!
Shanna came down to play with us later that day. We needed some refreshing cooling off so we headed to Kraze FrozenYogurt and loaded our cups up with so many yummy goodies!
Ah ya.......this is an inside joke. Not going to share. HA HA
Later that night everyone was exhausted. Stephs fever was getting the best o her, Sam relaxed and read one of her Gable Series book. As for Mike, she just crashed.
On this day, it was to windy to go to the pool so we sat out on the patio and enjoyed (non alcoholic...of course) Mojitos. They were refreshing with lime juice and my stevia sweetener.
Later that day Steph was starting to feel ok and wanted to go to the indoor pool. So we took us all down there and played for a while.

We cleaned ourselves up and made a bunch of food up then sat out on the patio and just chilled for a while.
Monday was another great day so we went back down to the pool and enjoyed that sunshine!
Later that day we went to our favorite old fashioned candy store and spent time being nostalgic.

That evening Grandma and John came down and we all went to the pizza factory and I got a glimpse of the phone booth and at the same time Mike and I knew just what needed to be done......Cell phones out and look...it is a modern day phone booth. LOL
We had a great dinner but, don't ask me about the bread sticks and the bill. LOL
Had some fun with the firetruck outside. But you know me and firetrucks!

We played with the Painted Pony
Then went back and had a Wii night with Just Dance 2, Michael Jackson Experience, and Mario Cart racing.

Tuesday Morn we chilled on the deck for a while. We painted toe nails. and I finished reading another book. (Smoke and Ashes) Oh and ya Shanna decided I was the queen. (I am not going to tell you what I was the queen of though....LOL)
Shanna left to go home and after she did me and the girls made our last jaunt to the pool. Oh i didn't want to leave this! I tried reading another book on my Ipad, but the sun was to bright...not complaining about the sun though! The girls were having so much fun on the air mattress. Trying to fit all three on, jumping on it then taking turns soaking up the sun on it.



Then that evening we loaded up to head home. I was so sad to go. I needed this trip so bad! It was a great getaway!
Hopefully I can get back down there soon!
