I've decided that if I add the word pandemic to something it gives it a little more excitement and drama. There wasn't much drama with this trip, but there was a lot of excitement because we got to leave our house!!! I have to say this trip was pretty amazing. Like so amazing that a week later I'm still thinking about how wonderful it was. So I guess we REALLY needed to get away.
I think a big reason St George was so wonderful this time is that we had a pretty great group of people there. We got to hang out with Tracy, her sister Jackie, her granddaughter Saylor, and Laura and her kids. Saylor is a year older than Sage and having her there was amazing. Sage was happy and entertained the whole time, which meant I didn't have to entertain her. So wonderful. We had just the right amount of playing and sitting next to the pool. Jake and Zack and I went on a ride Friday morning. They went easy on me, so we had a fun time. We spent the afternoon by the pool and ended the day with a family bike ride in St George. I love that we're starting to ride as a family. Almost as exciting as the first time we all got on the same ski lift!
On Saturday Jake and Zack did an extreme ride that I was happy to not participate in. Then we had more pool fun. It felt so good! That night we showed everyone how fun it is to hike at night! We went on a beautiful hike right above the city. It was really fun to be able to see the city lights the whole time. We ended up hiking with less headlamps than we should have had and made a few wrong turns, but it just added to the adventure. I think even the teenagers had fun, which is saying a lot! So thank heavens for St George. It was beyond amazing to get away.
