St. George May 2009

We spent last weekend in St. George with Chad's family. It felt great to get away from the busyness of our everyday lives and to enjoy each other's company. The evening of our first day there, Roxy and Will (Chad's mom and step-dad) took us to a great new restaurant called Pirate Island. You would never know it from the outside, but wow! If we didn't know any better, we would have thought that we were in Disneyland. It is a themed restaurant with a wonderful environment, delicious food, reasonable prices, and an arcade.

Here is a picture of Roxy, Will, Jack, and Nixin:

In this picture Jack is shooting pirates. Ironically, he has been asking a lot about going shooting lately. He got his chance here:

Nixin was stoked when he put his token in the machine and won 25 tickets!

We spent our second day in St. George with Chad's darling grandparents, Don and Elaine. When they asked us where we wanted to go to lunch, our boys insisted on Pirate Island. Chad and I thought that was a little funny since we had just eaten dinner there the night before, but Don and Elaine were excited to go there since they hadn't been before. It was every bit as great as it was the first night. This time we were even seated in our own private cave. It was a lot of fun.

Here are Nixin and Jack with Grandpa Don:

I snuck this picture of Grandma Elaine and Nixin holding hands. Isn't it the sweetest thing?

Here is a picture of Chad and Nixin sitting on the porch swing in the back yard:

And I just had to get a picture of Chad and his family before we took off:

Our boys were so excited to visit the "Dinosaur Tracks", so that is just what we did on our third day in St. George. I think that Chad and I would agree that it was over priced and a little boring, but our boys are still excited about it. They had a good time, so it was worth it.

Here are some pictures of us that day:

On Saturday, Roxy and Will took us to this great little lake in....hmmm....I don't remember where! It was beautiful though. Jack and Nixin had fun throwing rocks and pine cones into the lake. We took a little walk and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Here is a picture of Jack and Nixin following Grandpa Will down a trail:

Isn't this a great picture of Chad and his mom? I like it.

And here is our little family at the lake:

After the lake, Roxy and Will took us to a fun country diner for lunch. It was such a nice day. I was glad to be able to get out there and do something different.

Our trip was great. The company was perfect, the food was amazing, we saw and did different things, had the chance to relax, and traveled safely. Thanks Roxy and Will for a great weekend. We love you!
