After the snow we woke up to Saturday morning, I was beyond ready for a change of scenery. We decided mid-morning to pack up and head to St. George for the weekend! I always have these grand spontaneous ideas, but normally talk myself out of them. This time I decided not to. We reserved a hotel room and loaded up. We were on the road in time for Miles to take a nap in the car and arrived in St. George at dinnertime.
I texted my good friend, Erin, who lives down there to tell her we were coming. She unfortunately had to work Saturday evening, but it worked out because we were able to eat dinner at the restaurant she works at. Saturday night was a very rough night. Miles came down with a cold or has allergies or is teething or something. He had (and still does) a horrible runny nose and was so congested it made breathing hard. He absolutely did NOT want to sleep in his pack-n-play. We finally got him to sleep in our bed somewhere around 11:30 p.m. We tried everything, even driving around St. George, but nothing seemed to work until he just finally gave up and crashed. He is a crazy sleeper and covers every inch of the bed he is sleeping in. He even would throw himself on top of myself or Dave and still be sound asleep. Needless to say we didn't get hardly any sleep. He then woke up at 6:00 a.m. and was ready to start the day. UGH!
Because he had such a short amount of sleep overnight, we decided we'd offer him a morning nap in the car while we drove down to Mesquite. I think the drive between St. George and Mesquite is pretty so it was a nice excuse to make the drive. We ate breakfast at the hotel and then loaded everything up. When we got back to St. George we went for a little hike. Apparently Miles is scared of big rocks! It was funny watching him. He didn't want to get too close. After our hike we grabbed some lunch and then met Erin and her family at a park. The kiddos played at this really neat park while Erin and I got to catch up. When Miles started to look sleepy again we said our goodbyes and then headed home. Although we got almost no sleep, it was still nice to get away and to soak up some vitamin D and warmer temps that St. George almost always has to offer.

My boys in their shades
Miles was not thrilled to be surround by rocks
Getting a little braver
Buddy enjoyed the hike
Mr. Explorer
He loves slides
Still a kid at heart
Erin & Brekan
Miles' turn
Spinning round and round
Miles helps himself to everything!
It was so good to see you and the kids again, Erin! I'm glad you guys were available to hang with us! Hope to see you again soon.

Great pictures! I envy your spontaneity. What fun!!
I think that is the park just a few blocks down the street from Tonya's parents. Some of the funnest "rides" ever!
