3rd Trip to St. George in 2014

A lot of this happened on our 9 hour drive to St. George.  After making our 3rd trip this year I have decided that I love the scenery.  It is so BEAUTIFUL down south.

Franklin ended up driving down with Uncle Dave but we met up at Rebecca's house and then came to stay with us at the hotel. Amree and all the girls were excited to play with him.

We drove by the temple on the way to the hotel. It was fun to see it lit up at night.

I promised the kids that we would swim when got to the hotel.  Luckily the pools were open until 11pm and it stays warm ALL night.

Everyone in bed.  Mya spent the night with us and shared a bed with Anna, Jaina slept by herself, Franklin and Kalissa wanted the air mattresses and Amree slept with me.  We all slept really good until some giggly loud girls knocked on our door around 3 in the morning.  Luckily Kalissa and I were all that woke up.

Finally all eating! Getting food for 6 kids was interesting.   

On Saturday morning we met Grandpa and Grandma at the Children's museum. The kids had so much fun!

Kalissa made the biggest one but it only lasted for an instant.  Luckily I caught on camera.

After the museum we had lunch at Becka's and Jared's and tried to get our fill of hugging this babe. 

Uncle David took the older kids to a movie in the afternoon so Jaina, Amree and I drove to Santa Clara to pick up some really good sugar cookies.  They are President Monson's favorite and quickly becoming ours too.

Some more night swimming.  The kids were in heaven.

Even Amree decided she liked swimming.  Andrew got her to be brave enough to jump off the stairs to him.  It was pretty amazing considering she hasn't ever enjoyed the water before.

Blessing day for Emmitt.
