The Happiest Place On Earth...

I know that you where all thinking "Disneyland", but honestly my very favorite place to be is in St. George. We had another great weekend visiting my sisters. We are so lucky that we have family that lives in St. George so we can visit often. As always we had a great time.

We drove down late Thursday night. Friday we went to Judd's for lunch - soup and bread sticks. If you haven't been to Judd's you really are missing out. Their food is amazing. Then we took the girls and did some shopping while Jared and Kole and Lucas got parts to fix Mary's car.

Friday night we met up with Mary, Hannah and Bryce and we all went to eat at Pirate Island Pizza - which is becoming a normal thing for us when we go to St. George. It was so yummy, and we even saved room for dessert afterwards.

After dinner Jared and I had to run some errand so Tabi and Kole took the girls to a little pond by their house just before sunset.

On Saturday Tabi and Kole had to go to Tropic for a baptism so Hannah and Mary met us at the splash pad on Main street and the kids played in the water. Paige and Trinity where the only ones who even thought about bringing their swimsuits. We thought we could just let Lucas put his feet in, but once he got his feet in, he wanted to just sit in it and play. We ended up stripping him down to his onesie and letting him get sopping wet.

There were so many people there, but Lucas didn't care, he just wanted to be down playing in the water.

After we went to the splash pad we stopped by a little park by Hannah's house before dinner. It was such a cute park, and it was covered so that is going to be really nice in the middle of the summer.
These little things were almost like the teacups at Disneyland. You sat in them and they spun around. I got really dizzy. Lucas laughed his head off, he thought it was so funny.

This park even had a teeter - totter , you never see those anymore, it was a blast.
Notice the scrape on his chin? He fell earlier in the day and scraped his chin, and bit almost all the way through his lip. I thought he might have to have stitches, but we just held a wet washcloth on his mouth and finally after about 20 minutes it quit bleeding.
We had dinner Saturday night at Hannah's house. Then Sunday we went out and took family pictures. I will post those soon.

I am so jealous! Our family connection moved from there to up here last fall...and I am seriously missing our "free" vacation spot. I love the sun and the fact that even if it's not warmer, it just seems brighter and warmer there. I'll just have to enjoy it through you (: **So glad we got to visit with all of our sisters yesterday!

I'm so glad you guys had a good time! St.George is like a second home to me...maybe we'll all retire there someday!

You may as well have been in Disneyland... looks like you had just as much fun! The little spinning chairs in the park are SO FUN! I've done them before but not in St. George. You seriously have the cutest family ever. Your family pics are great!
