For Memorial Day Weekend, we went to St. George because Nate's sister Emily was going to be blessing her new baby Eliza. It turns out that my Dad was going to be in St. George the same weekend, so Mike decided to come with us too.
Most of Nate's family came into town for the blessing, so Saxon finally got to play with COUSINS! He loves getting together with cousins! Of course, I didn't get out my camera, so I don't have any pictures of the cousins together.
On Friday, we met everyone down in St. George for dinner, then all the kids went swimming at the hotel together. It turns out that Bridger is a little fish just like Saxon was. He can swim all over with his little floaties on. And Saxon...is a little tease. He kept giving his cousins wet willies and picking on them. Mike and Jeff take full responsibility for teaching him to give wet willies.
On Saturday, we met the cousins at the park for the kids to play. Saxon found a tree branch (that was the size of a small tree) and insisted on taking it on the playground with him. We had to draw the line on taking the tree home with us. After the park, we let the kids swim for a few minutes, then put Bridger down for a nap. He was so worn out he slept all afternoon! Saxon stayed awake and was able to go back down to the pool with his cousins when they got back. My Dad and Mike came by the hotel for a little bit to visit too. Later, we went to dinner and then late that night, met my Dad at Nielson's Frozen Custard. He wanted that, or Iceberg. He kept telling us about this amazing place called Iceberg. We just laughed because Iceberg is a fast food chain out here and not that unique for us. The frozen custard was fabulous though, and my Dad bought each of the kids their own. They were thrilled!
On Sunday we went to baby Eliza's blessing. Saxon loved holding baby Eliza. He kept telling me "Look Mom! She's so little..." It makes me excited for Humpty Dumpty. I can't wait to watch Saxon with him. I don't think Bubby will be that interested yet :) We went to a luncheon after the blessing and the kids got to play with the cousins again. The kids somehow got the idea in their head that they needed to go for a hike. So, Uncle Jared volunteered and Uncle Josh went with him and took ALL of the kids on a hike. They LOVED it! After the luncheon we stopped by Mike's hotel and let the kids swim a little and then bathed them and headed home.
It was a quick trip, but it was fun to be somewhere warmer for the weekend.
Here's some of the few pictures that I did take:
