A weekend away...

Last weekend we were able to take a little getaway, and it was a ton of fun! Some friends of ours (Brandon and Carrie for those who know them) their brother and his wife own a "second house" in St. George and were kind enough to let us stay there for the weekend. I am sure most of you are thinking the same I am, which is, SECOND house?? I am striving towards owning a FIRST house! But anyway, the house was beautiful and had the most amazing pool and backyard. It was so nice just to be able to get away and have nothing to do but hang out in the sun and BBQ lots of food.













By Sunday we were all sunburned(except for Landon, I lathered him in SPF 50...probably should have given Chris a coat of it as well) and tired from being in the heat and we headed home.












At about Fillmore we hit a road block. There was a huge pile up and they had traffic stopped completely. Everyone was out of their cars and walking around, and we ended up being completely stopped in our car for 2 hours! Thank heavens for Baby Einstein which kept Landon totally entertained the whole time. It sucked to sit on the freeway with nothing to do but wait, however, we were grateful that we ended up in the traffic and NOT in the pile up.

All in all, it was a fun time together with our little family and friends, and a fun way to spend to our weekend.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Anthony and BJ have been spending a lot of time in our pool too. Yesterday they came in with red noses, Daddy forgot to put sunscreen on them. Gotta love it!
