We started off our St George trip with dinner at the creamery. This was the creamiest, yummiest mac I've ever had! But it sat so heavy and I couldn't finish it. But it was goooood.
When we arrived at our Air BnB we were disgusted to find that the house hadn't been cleaned. Understanding that mistakes happen, I contacted the owner. She was out of town so she got ahold of her house cleaner and said it would be done soon. We left so they could come. Hours later, she still hadn't come. So we went to a hotel for the night (which also had dirty sheets...ugh!). We finally got settled in a bed around 10:30.
We went back the next morning and she had come but hadn't cleaned anything. Just started some towels. At this point, we had nothing left to do but clean it ourselves and work with the owner. She was kid and apologetic and gave us several refunds to make it worth it. I washed sheets and towels, cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, vacuumed and remade beds with the sheets I washed. It was a crappy dryer and took ALL day. But by evening we had a clean house.
Game 1 was a 0-0 tie
Game 2 was a 3-0 win
Game 3 was another 0-0 tie
Rylee loved hanging out at the pond watching the ducks and people fish at the complex where she played. It was a pretty park.
We made it to the championship on monday so we stuck around and went to Las Vegas to see Cami & Chuck and spend the day. We drove the strip and I was pleasantly surprised at how little of junk they saw. Sure it was mid day and the show girls were out walking around, but there were no big signs or promotions for strip clubs and such. I was grateful. the kids were amazed and I really wanted to stop and walk around, but I knew they'd see more garbage if we did. But it was fun to drive the strip.
We made it to Henderson and spent some time with Cam and Chuck. They suggested we go play pickleball and tennis at a nearby park. The kid quickly found old toys that belonged to their kids and played around in the AZ sun for a while.
Rylee loved playing tennis and was a natural. She loved it and said she wants to now play tennis.
We had such a fun time hitting balls and making fools of ourselves when we didn't hit balls! HAHA!We love these 2 and really had a great night. We finished it off with pizza at their house before we went back to St. G.
Morning cuddle puddle.
We can't go there without playing at our favorite dino park.
Some friends invited us to go to the CRACK at Red Butte Garden. I was told it was a slot canyon...heck yes! I've always wanted to be in one. I had NO idea what I was about to do.
Sure it looks narrow but I seriously thought I'd die at one point. My chest was wedged between the walls and I had one foot trying to step up while I was wedged. I was stuck. I was SO grateful that Carter and Mollie were on either side of me because C had to pull and M had to push to get me through it. I almost had a panic attack and then from above I heart my name. I saw Chad's face and it calmed me immediately. I could then focus on getting the heck out of there as fast as I could. Bri was also panicking and Rylee wasn't loving it either.
We made it and I'll NEVER do it again! Holy smokes I was so shaky and scared for the rest of the day!
We went on to climb on rocks and we always have to get this shot when we're there.
The condos we stayed at really were pretty cool. There was mini golf, tennis and pickle ball courts, 2 pools, hot tub, basketball, pool, ping pong and foosball tables and so we invited the Maughans over for dinner and to play for a while.
We really had a good time!
The championship game arrived and they played SO hard. We lost to the St George team 2-1 but I was so dang proud of them!
Until next year St. Geezey! We are coming for the Presidents Cup title!
