This past Thursday we took off to Sunny St. George (well it was sunny most of the time). This is the 3rd year of going and staying at Green Valley with the whole Richard's clan. We always have such a blast and this year was no exception.
We are usually really lucky with the weather too. This year it was about 70 everyday except Saturday where is just rained and was a high of about 55. We took advantage of the sun and warmer weather on Friday and enjoyed ourselves at the pool (well Kelly and I and all the kids did, the boys went golfing all day and the others went hiking). Bode didn't want to touch the water he stood on the side of the pool and got a thrill of people doing flips and all tricks in the pool. It kept him well entertained. Peiton didn't really want much to do with the water either, she just kind of walked around and made herself busy. As for Cooper he couldn't get enough of the water, he is a little fish and could swim all day long.
We spent a lot of the time at the park, it was such great weather we couldn't resist.
On Saturday when it was yucky weather it was the girls turn to get out without the kids. We took advantage and went to lunch and then went and got fabulous massages, they were great:) We topped it off by going to 25 Main and getting yumma-licious cupcakes (I think I bought 5 and ate all of them but the one I bought for Collin).
That night we all went to dinner at the Gun Barrel, it is a yummy steakhouse that we tried last year and liked it so much we gave it another try.
The next day it was Easter Sunday. The kids enjoyed their Easter baskets and I enjoyed all the candy inside them:) We got ready for church and headed to sacrament meeting. I thought all the kids looked so great in their Easter get ups.
That afternoon after a HUGE breakfast (crepes, omelets & waffles), we had an Easter egg hunt. It was fun to watch the kids run around looking for their color of egg. They scored some more candy and lots of money thanks to Grandma Holly.
Monday morning it was time to say goodbye, I did not want to come home. Of course the day we left it was the nicest day that we were there. Thanks so much Holly and Charlie for a great weekend. We had a great time!
