St. George Vacation

Ryan won a 2 night stay at a condo in St. George for being the top seller for a product at his work...way to go babe...GREAT WIN:) We left early Friday morning and we were down in St. George at 9:30. We took the kids to eat breakfast at the Bear Paw Cafe, they loved the HUGE pancakes and french toast. We had dinner at Cafe Rio & then we went to the Tuacahn Festival of lights Friday night. I love the Tuacahn!! They had lots of pretty Christmas lights, a fire pit to sit around while listening to the performers sing on the outdoor stage, a Living Nativity, Santa, & a cool little train ride for the kids! The kids LOVED it and were so excited that they got to see a REAL donkey and camel:)

A little blurry...but they had a living nativity performance
on their outdoor stage that included a real donkey and camel it was really neat!!

We ended the night with a ride on the Ruby's Inn Express Train:)

Saturday we slept in, got up and made a yummy breakfast, and then went swimming for a few hours. After the swimming we went and saw "A Christmas Carol", the kids loved it...it was a GREAT movie:) We left around 7 to drive home and we were home by 10 Saturday night. Quick trip, but it was worth it and we had a lot of fun!!

Your St. George trip looks so fun! How cool that it was free! Also, how fun to be able to play in the snow! I miss that sometimes!
