While having a play-date with some friends this past (LOONG) winter, we all decided we needed to escape to somewhere warm. We daydreamed of Hawaii and Cancun, but then realized if we were more realistic we could actually make a vacation together a reality. So we decided on St. George. It was a totally drive-able distance (3-4 hours away) and we could rent an AirBnB split three ways and could be quite affordable. It was perfect!
It had a bunk room for the kids. We were thinking the bunks were only twin size but found out they were actually full size. It was great!
Bennett loved the rock-climbing theme.
The three boys being silly.
The three girls were convinced they could all sleep in the same bed. Instead they ended up giggling and talking for an hour before their parents broke them up. :)
The house was plenty big for all of us. And the kids loved having playmates 24/7.
Milo was the oldest baby so he was trying to figure out how to interact with his friends.
Since we decided to go on Easter weekend, we naturally had an Easter Egg Hunt.
Brandon Fonda took these fun pictures of the kids.

The next morning we went to a really fun park.

Milo was a champ just chilling in the stroller most of the time.
Cooper
We went back to the house for lunch
Leave it to the boys to pull silly faces in all the pictures.
The house had this arcade game the boys enjoyed playing.
Melinda was a good sport playing Go Fish with my boys.
In the afternoon we went to the community pool
Bennett
More Go Fish was played
Then we had dinner
A FHE lesson was taught by Dallin Miller right before bed.
Once the kids were down we played some games!
The three babies: McKay, Harrison, and Milo
The three silly boys: Bennett, Hyrum, and Cooper
And our three blonde girls: Lydia, Gwen, and Tessa
Such a fun bunch! I love that our kids genders and ages work out so well.
On our way home we went on a short, easy hike with the Millers.
All the red rock was beautiful.
Someone had written clues to an Easter Hunt along the trail. It was fun for the kids to read and follow the directions.

At the end of the hike was a park for the kids to play at. Jason and Dallin decided to run back along the trail to pick up the cars and meet us at the park instead of making the kids walk all the way back.
This was Milo's favorite thing to do.
Kassie teaching the kids how to play Ninja Chop. (Or something like that. I don't remember exactly what the game was called.)
Headed home
