Feelin the Heat in St. George

Last week Matt, Addi, me, my sis Beck and bro-in-law Nick all went down to play in the warm St. G! It was a rockin blastin time! We left Thursday and stayed till Monday afternoon. It was a fun little getaway. Friday morning we went hiking to some old Indian Ruins. We took Addi with us in a baby backpack. I wasn't sure how she'd do in it but she really loved it!


Matt was a trooper and carried her up the whole way. It wasn't too hard of a hike so it was perfect for her! Here is a picture of the Indian Ruins at the top of the mountain.

She was so fascinated with the rocks and nature. She just kept staring at it all taking it in. I decided to carry her on the way down and she was so comfortable she fell asleep. Seriously, she can fall asleep in any position.
So cute! Saturday we decided to go to Vegas. BAD IDEA!!!!! Omi Holy, okay so first of all, we forgot the stroller. We took my sisters car down and the stroller was still in our car. So we got to the outlets and thought we could just rent a stroller. Nope they didn't have strollers to rent. So that was fun carrying her around the outlets in the freaking hot sun! She was starving and it was so busy there was nowhere to sit and feed her. So I sat on the dirty cement outside a store and fed her the bottle. I felt so homeless. Then she had her first blowout and got it all over her new outfit. I used up all the wipes so we were out of those too. We bought her a new outfit and decided we have got to find a Wal Mart or Target and buy her a stroller. Luckily Nick served in Vegas so he kind of knew the area. Well it took us an hour to find one and meanwhile she was starving again. We forgot a water bottle to make her her bottle so the poor thing was famished! We finally found the Walmart and got her a stroller, wipes and made her a bottle. By the time we got to the strip we were just worn out and cranky. My sis and I wanted to do some shopping so we braved the strip. I will never do that again with a baby. Poor little Addi. I want to cry thinking about it. Ugh Vegas makes me so mad with all the stupid Porn everywhere. I felt so dirty just walking there, and exposing Addi to it. Luckily she slept most of the time but she woke up in the casino with all the SMOKE. People were just staring at me like, "Why did you bring your baby here?" I felt like the worst mom. The one cool thing about Vegas was the Robot Silver Man. He was pretty awesome; he honestly looked just like a robot. Addison just stared at him with huge eyes. Yeah, he kind of scared me, too.

Okay sorry that was so long. The night ended well, we got out of there and had a good meal at Chilis. We also went swimming and thought we'd try Addi in the pool.


She didn't quite like the water. She loves baths, but I think because the water was so cold it scared her. LOL
That night we went for a drive with Scott and Kellee and their kids to a place called Pine Valley. It's about an hour out of St. G. Matt really wants to live there someday. Me, not so much. But it really is beautiful. It's in the mountains and they have a beatiful lake there.

Monday we did some more shopping (Yikes!) and had lunch at The Players Sports Club (highly reccommend it) and headed home (Boo!). And of course we had to stop and get a pic at the famous HUGE ROCKING CHAIR.
