Can playing in the sunshine all day with my boys be my real life, please? I know! I'll just hire a maid and make sure I {mostly} keep up on the laundry and dishes. Also, forget things like piano lessons and baseball and the kids' education. Okay. So it really wouldn't work out as well as I'd like, but it's a good idea! Maybe that's why vacations feel so amazing.
We did so much during our time in St. George that it's all becoming a big blur. I carted my camera around to most of our adventures but wound up leaving it at the townhouse the last couple of days. I suppose camera burn out set in and living right smack in the middle of the moment won out!
Memories Not Pictured:
:: The morning we fed ducks half a loaf of bread at the park. Conrad thought it was the coolest thing! He was lucky though; there was one lone goose there who snipped a piece of bread right from his fingers, without scraping said little fingers!
:: The afternoon spent at the Washington City Rec Center pool! Jed floated his way around the lazy river until he turned into a raisin. Levi was determined to stop all three water geisers at once on the playground. (Lol!) And Conrad wouldn't stop raving about the dump bucket. "Bucket!" he exclaimed over and over in his excited little voice. He rode on my lap down the fast three story hydro tube at least a dozen times and begged for more. I think Conrad might have had a died and went to heaven afternoon there in that pool. Our water baby was so happy!
:: The afternoon the boys and I struggled and then finally succeeded in finding a battery powered scooter belonging to the city to ride! I paid to rent time on it through an app and they took turns riding around the city block while Conrad ran through the splash pad in his pull-up. He had goosebumps but didn't care a bit!
:: Nielson's Custard! It was overpriced and delicious. Worth it.
:: A couple of pit-stops at the gas station for a refreshing ICEE. I love seeing all three boys in the back seat with those big plastic cups and even bigger smiles... stained blue, of course. Haha.
:: Visiting Uncle Dustin and Aunt Cami for a couple hours at their home one evening. It was so good to see them! Those Nelsons are really good and fun people.
:: Other visits to parks and the neighborhood swimming pool. We were enjoying the hot tub one evening with our friends, the Raigers. It was about 9pm and Conrad had only caught a 20 minute nap that day in the car. He was tired! He actually begged to go to bed. "Naaap. Bed," he requested. It was the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. And so I wrapped him up and walked him home. He was sleeping peacefully in bed within ten minutes.
