mini vacation

We are home from our vacation to St. George. We all had so much fun, especially the kids. They loved staying in a hotel and Bryn thought the best part was being able to eat breakfast "At the Hotel"!!! On the way down the kids were so good. We didn't stop until we got to Beaver, at that was about 1:30. We got lunch at McDonalds and played in the toys area for about an hour. When we first got there, Erick was going to order so I took the kids to play. There was a really big slide that was a tunnel the whole way down. I watched Bryn climb up really fast and then she just waited for Kyler at the top. Pretty soon here came Kyler out the slide. It was unusually quite in there for a McDonalds play place, so you could here just about everything, so I thought it was really funny when all of a sudden Bryn YELLED "how was it buddy, is it safe?" I thought that was so funny that she sent her little brother down to check things out and then when he okayed things here she came. It's a good thing we have a brave little boy to protect his sister.
The rest of the trip was really fun, we went swimming, bowling, to a movie, shopping and more shopping. We even found time to play soccer/basketball at a park. The kids were really sad when Grandma and Grandpa left. They kept asking where they were and when we would tell them they went home, Kyler couldn't figure out why and kept asking, "Why?" he never accepted the answers I would give him, but when Bryn would tell him the same thing that I had been telling him for 5 or 6 times he would say, "Oh yea."
We are glad to be home however, where we all sleep better, especially the kids. I think they just get so excited about being on vacation, they can't sleep. It was fun to get away for a couple days and just relax and play. Things are always so much less stressful when you get away.
