St. George

It's a tradition with my mom's family that every summer we take a girls week and go to sunny St. George. Well, this year was no exception:) We were sad that not all of the girls could come, but we still managed to have fun without them;) This was Mayci's 3rd time going to St. George. I was nervous about the traveling, but she did so good. As long as she had a movie to watch she was an angel!! We did a TON of shopping at the outlets. I think they have the best outlet shopping EVER!! I always come home with a ton of steals for everyone. One of our favorite things to do while visiting is view a couple of shows at Tuacahn. This year we watched 'The Little Mermaid, and Grease'. The Little Mermaid was by far the better show!! I would pay to see that again in a heart beat. Mayci loved the mermaids. When Ariel received her legs Mayci kept saying "Bernade um bach, which translates into Mermaid come back". Then whenever Ursula came out she'd shake her finger at her saying No, No!! It was seriously the cutest show ever. We also did a ton of swimming. My Mayci is fearless when it comes to water. That can be a good thing as well as a bad. It was pretty hard entertaining two 2 year olds. I decided to go to Wal-mart and grab some goodies. A coloring book, 2 packages of play dough, 2 mini Mrs. Potato heads and a whole bunch of pop its firecrackers. That seemed to do the trick. The end of our trip was quite an adventure. We went home a day early with Darren and Sheena because Darren had to be back to go to work. I've never been to Zion's and it was right there so we decided to hit it on our way home. Grandma and Grandpa came along for the ride. When we were through Grandpa had given us directions to get back on I-15. It was suppose to be faster than back tracking the way we came. Don't worry that it put us 2 hours over our already 5 hour drive. We had one cranky passenger and that was Dan. He was terrible!!! He got so mad and frustrated. My attitude was that there was nothing that could be done so why waste energy over it We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back next summer. He claims that he's never going again. This was the first year that the guys came down for the last 2 days so that they could see a show. All in all we had a wonderful time. I can't wait for next summer so that we can go back.

All the girls

Doing more pop its. Mayci thought it was hilarious!!

This was the chef

King Tritan

Mayci was deathly afraid of Scuttle.

This guy did an AMAZING job playing Sebastian. The accent was right on.

Yes, technically Mayci has been kissed by a prince. Prince Eric was more than willing to kiss this little Princess:)

I was able to get some reading time in. So relaxing:)

She wouldn't throw the pop its, she had to gently set them on the ground and then stomp on them. Silly girl:)

She really was having fun, even though this picture doesn't look so.

We visited Grafton where my Grandma Smith's Great Great Great Grandpa founded. He actually built the house on the right. The building on the left was a dance hall.

While in Zion we were starving and decided to find somewhere to eat. To our dissapointment, they really had nothing:( So we settled for wonderful gas station food which we ate across the parking lot on the church grass. Hot dogs and nachos....YUMMY!!
