Spring Break in St. George

The boys and I spent last week in St. George with my brothers and my parents. It was nice to get away from the 40 degree weather at home and enjoy some sunshine! I had a great time biking with my dad in decent weather. He is training for another Ironman (crazy) and I'm attempting to get ready for my 2nd EVER triathlon next month. The first was when I was 11 and I came in LAST place with a police escort but walked away with this huge trophy since I was the only one in my age division. Nice huh? I'm hoping for anything but the police escort this go around ;) We had a great time at the pool and took a day trip to Zion's for some hiking. We sure missed Ted but, hey...someones got to pay the bills.
On our way out of town I snagged a shot of my dad cruising home from the pool on his beach cruiser. My mom has a sweet one too! They are pretty cute riding together on their cruisers.

Fun fun fun! I guess that's one of the perks of being a SAHM you get to play while your hubby goes to work ;)

I'm so glad you're back. The naked sandwich post was cute, but not enough to sustain me for two weeks! Looks like more fun than we had. St. George is ever so appealing during the spring - hey they actually get a spring. Good luck on the old triathalon. But, I think a police escort would make for a fun story.

Glad you got to get away to the warm weather. Looks like you had a great time. I can't believe you are training for a triathalon...that is awesome! Good luck with that!

I love that last picture of Max. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy the warm weather of St. George! I still can't believe your doing a triathalon. That is so cool! I huff and puff after running for 15 minutes. Pathetic.

Everyone needs parents with a house in St. George. They just look so relaxed and like their having so much fun with the boys. Were we there at the same time? Looks like you guys had a great time. And love that picture of Max! So cute.
