Yesterday I got back from Annual Girls onlyTuacahn Trip. This is a trip I look forward to every year. My Grandma takes my mom and my sisters, her other daughter, Peggy, and all of her girls down to St. George for the weekend. We stay in her house and go to the Tuacahn plays each night. And kids are only allowed on certain exceptions...baby Max, we loved you there! We all have great husbands that make it possible for us to do this. (Really Collin, I appreciate you letting me go and your willingness to stay home with the kids, your wonderful! And thanks Holly for helping him out too, I really appreciate it!)

We left Wednesday night and came home Sunday afternoon. It is a weekend packed fun of eating, shopping, karaoke, talking, sleeping, and did I mention shopping?? I always look forward to this trip because it is a much needed break and then I get to be with my Grandma, Aunt and Cousins. I don't see my cousins to much during the year, so this is a trip we can get to know each other better. We always have such a good time, especially when we whoop their booties in karaoke!

This is one of the many restaurants we ate at...The Egg and I. It was pretty good, I had a yummy whole wheat, raspberry and granola pancake that was delicious!!
I would just like to thank my grandma for the wonderful time I had. Like I said before it is one trip that I always look forward to and it is always such a good time. I am so thankful for her for making it possible for us. Love you Grandma!

Hollie we missed you this year! I sure hope Jerry Seinfield was worth it! O'yeah, and you just had a baby 2 weeks ago, that gives you permission for missing out on the fun. And hopefully Alisha and Rachelle will be able to join us next year, you will have a blast!

There's nothing better than getting a fun break from life! I love that tradition!! It looks like you guys had a blast! I wish my family did something like that.

Did we stay there one year for spring spreak? I couldn't remember if it was your grandma or not.

I want to take a swim in that gorgeous pool!

Oh- I love your blog- how cute! It's good to "see" you guys. I love blogging for this very reason; we were feeling a little "Utah-sick" and stuff like this cures it. ;-)

What a fun tradition! Sorry I wasn't much help with the pool situation, my 4 little passes wouldn't have gotten your fun group very far :-) Hope you found a good one to go to!
I love going to plays at Tuacahn. Cute pictures of all of you, you have such a fun beautiful family!!

I'm glad you had such a fun time--what a great tradition! (And what fabulous company! You and your sisters are always having so much fun together).

Welcome back to the land of boring and monotony! (Just kidding, I'm sure it's great to be back with your adorable little fam)!

I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You are so multi-talented Natalie! You should start a design shop. I'm serious! People would pay you loads of money to design their scrapbooks and blogs for them. I'll be your business manager. :)
