River Fun!!

We love going to the river with the river crew:) We always have such a blast there and it's a perfect place for the kids. They love the long days of playing, playing and more playing. Dylan loved throwing rocks into the water and Brinley loved "floating" down the river and being saved by her daddy!!! It was a game her and her friend Bonnie played over and over and over. They also had a blast on the boat wake boarding, the canoe and jet ski's. I enjoyed long naps and lounging around catching the rays:) It was a fun getaway and I can't wait to do it again!!! If you'd like to see what the husbands were up too copy and paste this link...all I have to say is Boys will be Boys!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5-DlHJZ3kg

Sea World Trip & Drew's Marathon

The first weekend of June we took a mini vaca to San Diego yes I know it was very far from home...a whole hour:) Those are my kind of trips!! We stayed the weekend at the Hilton at Mission Bay which was very nice and went to Sea World and Drew ran his Marathon. We got there Friday and went to Sea World all day and the kids loved it:) The kids loved Shamu and Dylan was facinated by the Walrus...we couldn't get him to leave. The shows we're too cute and Brinley loved the water ride. Dylan loved playing at the Seseme Street play area and had the best time there! Saturday we relaxed went to the convention center where Drew got all his information for the marathon and walked around all the health and fitness booths. Then we came home for some swimming and lunch by the pool. The kids had a blast at the pool and after we quickly left to catch some shows and other exhibits we didn't quite get to finish at Sea World. We ended the night with a pasta feast for Drew..he needed to fuel up for the race the next morning. It was an early morning dropping Drew off at the start line...but he did an amazing job. When we saw him at mile marker 20 he was still smiling and ready to go. Now seeing him at the finish line was a whole different story. I think the first words out of his mouth were "I'm never doing this again....I don't know why people do this!" Funny thing is he's signed up for the St. George Marathon! We are all very proud of him he did a great job and finished at 4 hours and 30 minutes. That is a whole lot of running!!!! Brinley was happy because at the end she got the medal:) Now that's how you do a race:)












Palm Springs Getaway!

Every year we go with a BUNCH of couples from our ward to Palm Springs and stay at La Quinta Resort. No kids are allowed and it's sort of a boy/girls trip because all the men do is golf all the PGA courses and the women shop, lay by the pool, eat yummy food, get mani's and pedi's and most importantly RELAX!! Then at night we meet up with our hubby's for dinner and the rest of the evening! It's a fun trip hard to come back from:)I look forward to it every year!!
