St George, Utah with the Mathews

After our Wyoming trip we were so lucky to be able to go on another family vacation to St. George, Utah!

Jessica and Nate invited us to go to Nate's family's time share St. George house. It is the perfect little vacation house with two living rooms, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a outdoor patio, and extra mattresses tucked away in the closets ready to be pulled out to sleep several children on the floor. The layout makes this little house spacious and accommodating. We have been here before with Nate and Jessica's family and our family loves this spot of heaven on earth!
We did what I called "Mom's Super Summer School" during the summer months. We learned about ancient history in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Africa, Greece, etc. We brought our school with us on this trip and enjoyed learning about hieroglyphics and cuneiform.


The back yard is home to MANY snails. The kids collected them and neatly placed them on a bed of leaves--Oleander leaves, oops. This is a poisonous plant. Thankfully, no one tried to eat the leaves!


We got to see the Disney movie UP! in 3D. It made Rob a little woozy and, of course, made me cry.


Annebel, Shelby and Abby slept on the front living room floor while Bastian and Weston slept on the back living room floor. Hayden slept on the couch. At night everyone was exhausted and was asleep in no time because we swam hard and played hard all day long.

Who wouldn't want to wake up to a nutritious breakfast of cookies and milk eaten in bowls with built in straws?
