We've been to Utah a few times this year but hadn't made our way down to Tyler's parents in St. George since last Christmas so we decided to take a weekend and spend some quality time with the Rhode's parents.
I love spending time in St. George. It's gorgeous there and so relaxing and Tyler's parents are amazing hosts. We arrived on a Saturday morning and spent the day at this cute little sprinkler park/water area:
How cute is this picture below? Collette loves her Grandpa!
Tyler's parents have this great little garden in their back yard and Owen and Collette loved helping pick peas, tomatoes and fill the hummingbird feeder. What a fun Grandma!
To end the night, we had a little bedtime story action:
The next morning we got up and decided to take a little walk to this cute Nature center where you feed ducks; they also have this awesome community garden and a fun little park to play in.
One of Tyler's best friends lives in Cedar City (about 45 minutes out) so we invited them to Tyler's parents for dinner. It was so good to hang out with them for a couple of hours. We love you Paul and Lindsay!
We couldn't be in St. George and not hit up the fun park by Tyler's parents house. I think I mentioned this in another post but seriously, this park is amazing. I might love it more than my kids.
Fun fact about Tyler's mom- She loves looking for rare glass, pyrex, etc. at DI, Salvation Army and other thrift stores and she finds some gorgeous stuff so after the park, we decided to head out shopping for a few hours with her to see if we could scout out some goodies.
Neither Chris nor I found anything for ourselves but she did find some fun stuff for the kids. Collette ended up with this little baby backpack and Owen ended up with some spy binoculars (which I failed to get a picture of):
(btw, is this one of the cutest pics you've ever seen?)
A few months back I found out a friend of mine opened a candy store (CANDY BLITZ-check it out people!) in St. George, so that afternoon we headed over there.
Wowza, look at that bag of candy! Yummy.
That night Tyler's parents gave us a night out. They got us tickets to go see Alladin at Tuachan while they took the kids to a movie.
We love date nights! Thanks Kent and Chris!
The last day we were there we hit up this awesome indoor water park. Seriously, how fun is this place? We had such a blast, although I will admit that my Florida body was pretty cold without the sun beating down on me. I've become such a wimp.
Unfortunately, our vacation did have to come to end so the next morning, we had to say goodbye and head to the airport.
So sad to say goodbye to grandpa.
I love this face
And just because she is so so cute, I need to post a couple of these. Already at a year and a half, she knows what she wants to wear, when she wants to wear it.
Thanks Kent and Chris for being so much fun and letting us invade your house for a weekend! We love you!
