Quick trip to St. George

We decided last minute to go to St. George last weekend. Shaun's work needed someone to install a washer and dryer in Brianhead on Friday. So Anna and I tagged along to get away. We left at 10:30 Thursday night, got into St. George at 2:30 a.m. then woke up at 8:00 to head back to Brianhead. Anna slept the whole way down which was worth leaving at 10:30 at night. She watched dbdb's (DVDs) the rest of the time we were in the car. She was so good the whole time.
After Shaun got done doing the install we took a ride up the lift to enjoy the scenery. There was a downhill bike practice race going on so Shaun was drooling over all the bikers. He had wanted to take his bike, but being the sweet husband he is, he spent the day hiking with us.

They have a car seat that they strap to the lift for kids to ride up on. About 30 seconds into the ride, Anna started saying "I'm done now", she said it over and over until we got off the lift.



This was one of the obstacles for the bike race. I think it looks stupid and crazy. Why would anyone see it and think of riding their bike down it? That is a drop off on the other side of that little log! Shaun on the other hand was picking his line down and where he would ride if he had his bike. I was really happy the bike stayed home. I was nervous enough watching strangers go down and didn't want to watch Shaun try to kill himself!


We were out all day, so as soon as we started walking down the mountain, Anna decided it was time for a nap. She slept the whole way down. I was surprised she didn't have a kink in the neck when she woke up.

We went to the Sandhollow Aquatic Center to swim because the pool at our condo was being cleaned. It was fun because there was fun things for Anna to do in the pool, until somebodies kid pooped and we all had to evacuate. Ewe, cryptospiridium!!

In this picture Shaun had just taken Anna down the big water slide. She was a little nervous at first but ended up enjoying it.

She was being brave and going down the frogs tongue all by herself!

Looks like fun. I would love to do that hike, I'll have to try it oneday. I also will have to take my kids to that indoor swimming pool, I've heard good things about it. Anna looks like she had a good time.
