Saturday morning we woke up, got ready, ate breakfast, and then packed the car. Luckily the rain had stopped so we didn't have to load the car in the rain. It didn't rain much during the day on Friday (while at Disneyland), but then about 6:30 pm it started to down pour. We were already in the stores shopping when it started coming down hard. Tony was going to take the girls and I home after we were done shopping because the boys wanted to stay until midnight and close down the park with Tony and Margie. After it started raining harder the boys changed their minds and decided going back was a good idea.
The younger three kids found what they wanted for their souvenirs pretty quickly but Tyler had a hard time finding what he wanted. Tony took him to a couple different places and still no luck, so Margie then took him to look around while we all waited. He then decided he wanted a fanny pack (like grandma). So while they went to find one the rest of us went to get on the tram.Tyler and Margie just missed the tram when they were done shopping and met us at the car. They said that while they were on the tram the rain really started coming down and they were already pretty wet. Good things we left when we did.
Our plan on Saturday was to stay in St. George for the night. We stopped in Mesquite for lunch and then made it to St. George in the late afternoon. We dropped Margie off at Nana's and visited for a little while before going to our hotel. The hotel had an indoor pool and a playground. Allie didn't want to swim so I took her to the playground and Tony took the other kids to the pool.
Allie didn't last very long on the playground and wanted to go back to the room to play the tablet. After Tony and the other kids were done swimming they came back to the room and got bathed and got into jammies. Tony then picked us up some dinner and the kids watched TV and tablets for a low key evening.
The next morning we got up, got dressed, and then checked out of the hotel. The hotel breakfast wasn't very good so we just stopped at McDonald's and got some breakfast that we took back to Nana's house. After we ate we loaded Margie's stuff in the car and then drove home, stopping only for lunch in Fillmore.
The weather was kind of scary at times with snow coming down and collecting on the roads. We passed a few cars that had slid off the road and one really big accident that involved four different accidents. We were thankful that we were not involved in that mess.
We got home safe and got the car unloaded and started unloading everything in the house. It was a super great trip and we all had a wonderful time. We are truly thankful to Margie and Lloyd for taking us on such a fun family trip and making us feel so special!
