After our wonderful night in Salt Lake Ryan and I picked up the boys from my parents house and we hit the road. 
We had a plan in mind. It wasn't totally figured out yet but St George was a good destination and was going to help us with what we wanted out of this trip. Besides, the boys needed some relaxation time and we needed out of the terrible Provo weather. It was cold and windy while St. George promised 76 degrees. We couldn't wait.

We couldn't wait.The boys stayed in one of their first hotels. We stayed at the Hilton where there was an outside pool. They loved it there. Paxton told us he didn't ever want to go home.
Everywhere we went, we ran. They had such a wonderful time being out and about. We got in pretty late on Sunday and after dinner we only had a few moments to enjoy the town so we hit...the temple.
This picture above is my favorite. I don't know if you can blow it up, but all three boys are walking in stride, almost like they are marching toward the temple. The weather was so beautiful too. Green everywhere!!

Green everywhere!! We actually came to the St George temple because we know that Ryan's ancestors have a lot to do with the settling of this town, specifically Jacob Bastian. But we hadn't done our research before we got here. I think we'll have to make another trip later!
After the dinner and the temple we hit the pool!!
The add for the hotel promised a heated pool and a spa that were opened year round. What we found was an ICE COLD pool and a really nice hot tub. It was really fun taking the boys into the freezing water and then running to the spa. They had such a blast!
Later we found ourselves hanging out in the hotel room. This is where Ryan and I realized that to get the boys to bed we had to pretent we were going to bed. On top of that we found that Gauge just wouldn't go to sleep. When we turned out the lights it sounded like the taz-manian devil was awake and in his crib. Things were strewn about the room when we got up in the morning and we could hear heavy breathing...my poor mom. No wonder she was up with him until 1 am the night before!!
Can you believe we have two boys?!
You may or may not have guessed by now, but our final destination was a quick trip to Vegas...

UMMM....a little confused why on your adventure you didn't swing into IDAHO?????? I am so glad that you had a great vacation....you guys deserve it! Hope to see you soon! Miss you tons
So great that you got to take the boys on a little trip! That gives me inspiration to do that with our boys...sounds like you had so much fun! Now I'm all tempted to skip town for a few days...
Vegas Baby, Yeah! How fun to duck out of town for awhile. Rest and relaxation and a new bike! What else could you ask for?!
Beautiful pictures of y'all at the temple. (Ryan, I love how you have come full cirle..you used to be that little boy on Barry's shoulders. A tear...)
Swing by the cemetery to see Jacob's obelisk? Or see the bronze engraving of Jacob at Memorial Park? Sid P looks just like Jacob.
Chuckled thinking of y'all running from the cold pool to the sauna...sounds like Sun Valley adventures.
K, this so didn't help my feeling that I need a vacation! and not to mention the warm weather... I really am ready for the sun to be here! Sounds like you guys had a blast!!!!
Boys could't be cuter!! Love the pics at the temple.
