Forgive my lack of blogging this week, but we went on our annual family St. George trip. We left on Wednesday afternoon and got back Sunday afternoon. Here is one of the rare moments in the car where they were all smiling. It lasted for about 5.7 seconds. After that, I heard non-stop things like: "I feel like I'm going to throw up." "Stop chewing so loud!" "I need to go to the bathroom right now!" "Is it ok if I just pee my pants in the car?" (Caleb...and yes, it was a serious inquiry.) "How long have we been driving?" "Can we watch a movie?" "Turn up the radio." "Turn down the radio." "Owww! Get off me!" And what trip would be complete without: "Are we there yet?" repeated nonstop at 18 minute intervals for the duration of the trip.
Our best purchase of the trip was a leash for Cam. Yes, that's right. A leash. We forgot our stroller and our backpack, but needed a way to keep a hold of him. We figured he could have 4 feet of freedom, and we would all take turns chasing him around. And "chasing" him is exactly what we did. That boy never walks. He just runs and runs and runs.
St. George is not complete without the water guns. It happens every year and the kids love it. Don't let the swimsuits and the green grass fool you. I was freezing the first 2 days. It was only in the 50s this day.
Notice the size of Emma's gun compared to her bigger brother's.
One of my favorite things about St. George are the red cliffs everywhere. I love the red rocks, the green grass, the blue sky, and the brillant white temple in the middle of it all.
Cam is in absolute heaven here. He is outside, and he has two trucks to play with. What more could a little boy want?
Except for maybe a haircut. =)
I added this picture to see whose kids recognize it first. It's where a scene was filmed from a very popular Disney movie. Hint (although you really don't need one): imagine a bright pink convertable pulling through these gates. Both movies have been filmed right here in Utah. The first in SLC, and the second among the red cliffs of St. George.

Nice to have you back. Your trip looks wonderful. I am glad to hear that you had such a fun time. Isn't is great to get away?!
Cam's hair cut is so cute! I can't believe how fast he is growing up. Ü
By the way Lonica would die to be at the resort where HSM was filmed. I hope you all broke into song.
I've got to show my kids that last picture and see if they can name the movie. They are all BIG fans, but Jordan is probably the biggest. Somehow that just doesn't seem right for a four-year-old boy! Looks like your vacation was a lot of fun but I cannot believe your kids were wearing swimming suits in 50 degree weather. It's got to be what you're used to - 50 is probably warm when you've had a long winter but 50 is COLD to us!
looks like so much fun!
way to go Emma on the size of her water gun. Only way to survive brothers:)
Hey I found your link on Lynells and thought I'd check it out. Your kids are so cute it looks like you had a blast! I LOVE St. George!
I love the picture of Cam with the trucks!! It looks so nice there. My kids would have been in swimsuits in 50 degree weather also. It looks like you had fun. Although I did laugh at the car ride, because now imagine that foe 24 hours one way!!! Love you
Ahhhh, road trips! So fun with kids. LOoks like everyone had a great time!
I love Cam's hair cut.
