On Wednesday night we went on a family bike ride on my favorite St. George trail. We have collected enough bikes for the big kids and Gray and Tag are pulled by Joey. We went about 3.5 miles and had the best time together. The weather was perfect! Nash did such a great job for just mastering the two wheeler. What a wonderful time spent together.
On Tuesday morning we decided to venture down to Vegas for a little fun. We got there and drove around Summerlan and Henderson. I would love to live there someday. It is so much like California but with an affordable cost of living. After enough complaints about driving around we went to Shake Shack for lunch. The food was really good and I am just continually amazed at how good the kids are starting to be at restaurants. If only we could get Tag to eat off the menu! After lunch we walked over to the Coke and the M&M store. The kids thought they were really cool. Then Luke and I rode the New York roller coaster. He loved it a little more than me. I think I must be getting old because I did not love how jerky it was. I did however love riding it with Luke. Then we went to Circus Circus and let the kids ride a ride. Tag and Gray rode the airplane ride, Nash and Harlee did a spinning type ride and Luke rode the roller coaster. So fun to watch them have fun! We fueled up with a slurpee for the drive home. Love spending time with my favorite people!
On Monday in paradise we started the day with an early lunch date with John, Darolyne, Colette, and Jim. We went to the Black Bear Diner while their girls babysat our kids. We had a great time visiting with them. Then we went on a hike with John and Darolyne to see where they cut the rocks out that were used to build the Tabernacle. Another fun hike where no one needed to be carried! We finished the night with a little pizza factory and swimming. Have I ever mentioned how much I love St. George??
We left on Friday to go down for 9 days to St. George. We were so excited to have such a nice long break in our favorite place. We got there late on Friday night and woke up early to garage sale. Luke was the lucky one who found two pairs of air jordan shoes that were like new for only $5! After garage sales we visited the new Harmons and took donuts over to grandma and grandpa. Then we went home to watch conference and to swimming. In between sessions of conference we went on a hike to the petrigraphs. It was such a fun hike. I actually said out loud that I was thankful we were out of the baby phase! Tag did the whole hike! The kids were so excited to find cool rocks and see all the amazing drawings. We had such a nice day. On Sunday we spent the day watching an amazing conference and then had a barbecue with Grandma and Grandpa. While Darolyne and I prepped the kitchen the kids gathered around Grandpa to hear one of his scary stories. I love this! Then Grandma set up a money Easter egg hunt for the kids. They loved it! After dinner we went to the park by their house and the Taggart's were down visiting. We had fun spending time with them and Luke even got to drive their razor. Unfortunantely a lady was upset about it and look was extremely worried he was going to juvi! Poor Luke! Other than the prison scare it was a great weekend. So lucky that we still have a week down here in paradise!
Nash has been thinking about getting his patriarchal blessing for a little while now. Harlee told him of how they did a devotional at HXP b...
