*Spring Break* Down South

After all the worry and stress of the hospital visits we came home from an appointment last Thursday and last minute up and decided to take a little vacay. So we quickly packed up and headed down to St. George for the rest of the weekend. We stayed at a nice condo, thanks mom, and had a great time. We swam, well the boys all did. I sat with the baby pool side. Then we headed to Las Vegas. We first went to Circus Circus Adventure Dome. The boys had fun riding some rides, then we hit a buffet. We were able to show the boys the Bellagio Fountain show and the Mirage's Volcano erupt. They thought both were spectacular. They loved driving the strip and seeing all the lights. As we were leaving to head back to St. George, Jax said "Las Vegas is weird". Very well put. But it was fun. Now if we ever do it again, the boys will be old enough to walk on their own and feed them selves. :) - I'm just referring to the youngest children. I'm sure we looked out of place pushing around 2 strollers. And with 2 other boys in tow. But it really was kinda fun. Back to the agenda... eating out, climbing the red rock, playing at parks, flying kites, watching movies, and taking naps.
We dyed Easter Eggs. With Creed being a cheese ball.And had an enjoyable Easter morning eating cold cereal and candy before packing and heading home. They boys took a lot longer than I'd expect finding their Easter baskets. We had to keep reminding Creed to stay on task and find his, and any hidden eggs. Bodie held 2 pieces of candy all morning and he was happy as can be. Below are the boys finding their baskets. And we did throw in a quick reminder lesson on the Savior and what Easter is and why we celebrate it.

Our family did Easter one year in St. George and all us kids loved it. Sometimes we all just need a quick and painless vaca. Your family is so cute.
