St. George Weekend!!

Well, where do I start...
Ann and the kids went to St. George Tuesday morning with grandma while I had to stay home and to the dreaded thing that us heads of the households love to do called work. Ann and the kids had fun swimming and shopping until they dropped, and enjoyed the beautiful weather in Dixieland. I came down on Thursday after work. Friday when we were down there we swam and relaxed and of course.....fished!! That's right boys and girls...what would a trip to St. George be without my fishing poles?? Not a trip at all! :) Yes...when the kids woke up early the only thing to do to let Mom sleep is to take the kids fishing! Yes they did have fun in case you were wondering. Yes we did catch some too! On Saturday after swimming and shopping and relaxing, Ann and I took the girls to Fiesta Fun while Garrett stayed in bed back at the condo with Grandma and Grandpa. We rode the Bumper Boats and did some racing in the race cars.
The first race consisted of Sydney and I and Ashley and Ann teamed up in our two-seater go-carts. Ann and Ashley had the lead for a few minutes but yes...Sydney and I came from behind to take the checkered flag.
The second race it was Ashley and I and Sydney and Ann teamed up. Ann and Sydney took the lead right off the bat and Ashley and I couldn't make up any ground and came in second. Needless to say we all had an absolutely great time that night.
Sunday was very interesting. Usually it only takes about three and a half to four hours to get home......well let me tell you about the trip from H E double hockey sticks!!! :o

While on our way home just before Cedar City there was a Jeep that caught on fire that slowed traffic down... then there was a brush fire on the freeway that closed the freeway for about three hours. While we were sitting in traffic our dear little Sydney tells us that her stomach was hurting and that she needed to....puke!!! So my sweet wife gives her a capri sun box...mind you have you seen a capri sun box....there is a gaping seam and it doesn't hold anything!!!!!!!! So our sweet Sydney starts to chuck in this box....well you guessed it...it landed right in her lap, right through the seam in the bottom of the box. So I go to the back and try to start to clean it up with what little stuff we had to clean up up-chuck!!!!! So through my gagging and watering eyes and trying to hold my "stuff together" there was this nice lady in a motorhome right next to us that asked if we needed some garbage bags and some paper towels. OF COURSE!!!!! I couldn't thank this nice lady enough for her generosity!! So after that episode we finally managed to squeeze through a semi and the motorhome to get from the far left lane to the right lane to get to I-70 to finish our "ADVENTURE" home. Needless to say it took us 6 hours to get home from St. George. The moral of this story is to pack some extra garbage sacks for "just-in-case" purposes!!
