Saint George

The month of October has been a busy one for us, starting with a quick weekend trip to St. George.  A few months ago, Bubba got new tires on his car and the tire store gave us a voucher we could use for a couple of free nights in a hotel and one of the places we could stay was St. George.  We had talked about going there this year anyways so that we could take the girls to see The Little Mermaid at the Tuacahn Amphitheater down there.  Right before driving down there, we started getting snow at home so we were really glad to get warmer weather for a couple of days!  Although interesting to have all 6 of us in a hotel room for the first time, we actually all slept pretty well and survived!  We were driving around to find a park to play at while we were there and they happened to be having a small carnival/fair at the park that we found.  They only had a few rides, but they were free and since it was Friday and most kids were in school, there was hardly anyone there so the kids had a blast there.  That night, Bubba was nice enough to stay at the hotel with Madison and Camden, and I got to take Paris and Savannah to see the show.  It got a little chilly, but the play was absolutely amazing and all 3 of us had a wonderful time.  One of the hardest things for me about having two babies in the last couple of years has been the lack of opportunities to just spend time with my older kids without the distraction of the little ones, and when you have a nursing baby you can't leave very long it is hard to do fun stuff with the older kids.  The girls are just at such a fun age right now and I hope we get more chances to have fun dates together - it was a blast!  Unfortunately, we have been horrible at taking pictures lately but I do have a couple off of my phone from our trip!
