A week in St. George

We were so excited to go spend a week in St. George.  Yes, it was hot, and yes we are crazy to go there in the middle of summer; but we love it.  We had so much fun with our family.  Every year we try to get together with all of Andrew's family for a week in the summer.  Since we don't all live close to each other, it is a good way to get together and catch up.  Plus it is so much fun for the cousins to get together and hang out.  Everyones schedules this year were a little crazy, and not everyone could make it.  We really missed everyone that couldn't make it, hopefully it will work out better next year.  We basically ate, swam and hung out outside either in the morning or late night when it wasn't too unbearable.  Luckily the kids don't mind the heat at all.  We actually ended up swimming almost every night too after dinner.  I think this was my kids favorite time to swim.  It was fun swimming while the sun went down and once it was dark outside and lights in the pool were on. 

These two are so funny together.  They are 11 days apart and had a blast together. 

We did some baseball and volleyball out on the grass area.  Camryn was pretty serious.

Drew even took a few swings.

This is all the Drew wanted to do at the park....swing.  She asked me so many times to give her an underdog.  She loved it.

The kids had a blast swimming.  The first day we got there, Drew was in the pool and was hit in the head with a pool toy.  We ended up taking her to insta care and had her head glued shut.  They told us to not get her head wet for 5-7 days.  What?!  We had just gotten there, and swimming is what we were planning on doing every day.  We kept her out of the pool Saturday and Sunday, but let her go after that.  I know we are bad parents, but you should have seen how sad she was when everyone else got ready to swim on Saturday and she didn't get to go.

Camryn even got brave enough to jump off all by herself.  I was so proud of her.

I don't know why, but the kids thought it was so fun to eat dinner outside the front doors of the condo.  They ate out there almost every night.

Drew crashed on our way to get snow cones.  She was so excited to get one, but would not wake up to eat it.  I think we tired her out.

Camryn was pretty tired too.  I found her asleep on the floor in the bathroom.  She had already showered, but I guess she was too tired to get dressed and climb in a bed.

Every year we do a cousin picture.  Here is this years.  We are missing four of them.  Hopefully next year we will get them all together, and there will be another one to go along with them.  We are excited to meet him in September.  This is not me by the way, it's Aunt Brooke.
