kid heaven in st. george

My mom hosted all of us in St. George this weekend at what my boys now call The Party House.


This swimsuit makes me very, very happy.

The bff's spent countless hours in the pool.

Scarlet remains my favorite little model.

There were non-stop water fights.

And Travis wanted some action shots of his cool tricks.

Baby Alex humored me with a little photo shoot.

The Herway kids love all living things and these toads were no exception. I could actually go on and on about how much fun it was to hang out with Daphne. She performed "A Noodle Love Story" for me one day that was truly priceless.

We also hiked a bit on the red rock which George called "the rocky mountains" as opposed to the "the tree mountains" and "the snow mountains" we can see from our house.

Charlie was very stressed about the sand that kept filling his crocs.

After cleaning off his feet several times his mom told him he was just going to have to live with it until we got back in the car.

So he found his Nana and pled his case to her.

The bff's climbing in the narrows.

We are already trying to figure out when we can go back.

Cute kids. Seriously that was so much fun. I would take getting another painful sunburn if it meant we could go back soon.
