St. George: Part 2
Grandma and Grandpa Swenson invited the kids and I to go down to St. George with them the third week of April. Originally we were going to drive down on Wednesday the 20th but Daddy surprised us with getting the days off and came down with us. We were actually there from Friday the 22nd to Tuesday the 26th. We really had so much fun! Seriously, there are no pictures just because we were too busy having fun. I did, however, take Snapchat videos but even those do not include everything we did. Here are all the videos from Snapchat
I guess I'll quickly break it down by day
Friday: We left SF around 5 and were planning of going as far as we possibly could without stopping... we made it to Beaver. The kids played at the McDonald's there for about an hour but we knew we were going to have a hard time on the rest of the drive. Katelyn kept pulling at her ear and was having a hard time with the elevation changes. We didn't make it to St. George until about 11
Saturday: Katelyn was up a lot during the night and she woke up with a fever and just really grumpy. Because she kept pulling at her ear, we decided that we better take her to the InstaCare in case she had an ear infection. I dropped the boys off at the splash pad and took her by myself. Thankfully the wait was not too long (only about 30 minutes). She didn't actually have an ear infection but the doctor was worried that she would quickly develop one. All we could do was alternate between Ibuprofen and Tylenol to keep her happy and if she got worse take her back in. Once we picked up the boys, Grandma and Grandpa took us to Chuck-a-rama. It is one of our favorite traditions to go with them when we are all down in St. George together. Then (after the kids took a nap) it was shopping time! (my favorite tradition when we go down there). The Habit closed off the perfect day
Sunday: we decided to take it easy on Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa went home at around noon so it was just us from then on. Spencer and I had gone grocery shopping the night before and we had chicken pot pie for dinner
Monday: It actually rained all day on Monday. A lot. It was the coldest that I have ever seen it in St. George. We had to wait for the cable guy to come install Grandma and Grandpa's cable and after we went to dinner, Petco, Ross and Old Navy. Yeah, it was good day, despite of the rain
Tuesday: we originally planned to leave earlier on Tuesday, but we couldn't leave without going to the Children's Museum. We actually left at around six. Oh my goodness the drive home was terrible. The Little Guy slept for about half and hour and then cried the rest of the time. No joke. The entire time! We made home at around 9:30 and put the kids straight to bed.
Of course we all took turns in the big tub throughout our stay (even me too although I didn't let Spencer take a picture). Spencer and I want a big tun in our house so bad. Hopefully one day.
Even with that hiccup at the end, I still love going to St. George so much. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for letting us stay down there. I can't wait to go back
