Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day Weekend, we went down to St. George with Mike.

It was such a nice escape from all of the chaos that's been going on around here.

And of course, the weather was gorgeous!!!

The kids were in heaven to each have their own beds, and because since they each had their own bed, they slept through the night and didn't sneak into our bed.

It was lovely.

 

  

 

 

One of the things we wanted to check out while we were there was a huge waterfall at Gunlock Reservoir.  It turns out that the reservoir has to be overflowing to create the waterfall (so, no waterfall), but the lake was beautiful and surrounded by red sandstone.  We spent all afternoon on the rocks while the kids swam and played.

Nate taught the boys to skip rocks and they were getting pretty good at it. 

We also spent an entire day swimming!

We started off in the hotel pool.

Then we got lunch and headed toward the splash pad in the center of town.

After playing there for awhile, we met up with Emily at a splash pad by her house and the kids got to play with cousins.  Needless to say, they were sooo sunburned by the end of the day.  I felt terrible, but they had so much fun!

 

We also had a BBQ with Emily and family on Sunday night.

The kids got to run around together and swim all night long.

They LOVE playing with cousins!

They get along so well with Emily's kids that they played together until after 11 pm.

I wish I had more pictures, but every time we got together with Emily, I spent the entire time talking with Emily and forgot to get out my camera.  Oh well.  They really did have a TON of fun!

When we finally made it back home on Monday night, it was cloudy and stormy.  Tuesday rained and had a high of 62 degrees.  It made us even more grateful for our 90 degree weekend getaway :)  Can't wait until summer!!!
