St. George with Nic's Fam






We had the blessed opportunity of going down to St. George over President's Day weekend. Papa was here for his "man's weekend", and the men ended up bringing their wives and children! We were happy to tag along. Unfortunately, Nana had to stay in Ohio because of work and school obligations. We missed her. Ashley, Kate and I (along with the kids of course), went to the park and shopped a little bit the day the men hiked the narrows (Nic will have to do the "Narrows" post). It just so happened that we were there over Ashley's 27th birthday! Yippee for getting older ;) We all benefited from it because Papa took us all to a Japanese Steakhouse which was easily the best I've ever been to. Kendyl even ate her entire meal with chopsticks. Our little chef was hysterical. He thought he was pretty funny lobbing a dozen pieces of food into each of our mouths. When we couldn't catch any more, he took out his little squeeze bottle and flooded our mouths with Sprite until we ended up spitting it all over ourselves. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

We also managed to eat 10,000 calories worth of treats (and popcorn for me) each day, go to the movies, swim, hot tub, hike, and more. So fun. Thanks for the memories

10,000 calories in treats always makes for a great weekend...especially, coupled with family.

Fun pictures! What a fun time you all had. Thanks for entertaining Papa! And thanks for posting so I can enjoy it too. (I especially like that Ryan has to try to help Ashley blow out her candle!)
