Easter Vacation

For Easter weekend we took a trip down to sunny St. George with Collin's family. Besides the driving, the vacation was great. The driving got a little chaotic, but we managed to make it. (I told Collin this is the furthest we will be driving with the kids for a long time.) Peiton slept maybe 15 minutes of the 4 hours drive, Bode did great and slept 2 hours, and Cooper just couldn't quit asking "Are we close yet?" Bless his heart, it is a long drive for a little 6 year old. The drive was well worth it once we got there. We stayed at Green Valley and had a fabulous condo. The first night was a little crazy, I think Collin and I saw every hour pass, as Peiton just wasn't sure what was going on. So we took care of that problem, Benadryl on the way...she slept like a baby should sleep the rest of the trip.

The kids enjoying themselves at the park...Bode got a little out of control with the sand.

The next day Collin was able to go golfing while I stayed in the condo with the boys. And that is what we basically did, stayed in the condo. It isn't worth it to take the kids out and chase Bode around while trying to keep a hold of Peiton. We did venture out to the park for a little bit. It wasn't too crazy. Thank goodness Cooper had his cousins to keep him entertained.

After Collin got back, we were ready to go to the swim pool. Cooper was a little fish and had so much fun. Bode did great too, and Peiton watched by the sidelines. She did have the cutest little swimsuit on though, too bad I didn't get a picture of it.

Fun at the pool

On Saturday we woke up and went to the sand dunes. The kids had so much fun, jumping, rolling and collecting as much sand as possible on their clothes and little bodies.

Having some fun....

The next day was Easter Sunday. The kids woke up to hidden baskets left by the Easter Bunny. We then went to church and came back for a yummy breakfast brunch. We finished the day off with eating, Easter egg hunt, eating, relaxation, eating, walks, eating, and bedtime.

On Monday morning we headed back. It was a great little get away that we all enjoyed. Thanks Holly and Charlie for putting it together and for the great memories! We love you!
