Easter In St. George

After San Diego the kids and I flew to Las Vegas where Lance picked us up. After happily reuniting with Daddy we made a quick stop for lunch and then drove a little further to meet up with my friend Jamie who is now living in Las Vegas. It was a quick visit but so fun to see her, her little boy Haden, and her Mom who was in town visiting.


We then hit the road again for our drive up to the Zions National Park area. There we met up with Lance's parents and Kirsten's family for dinner at the annual tradition of dinner at the Bit and Spur restaurant. Kai was thrilled to be reunited with the Mullins cousins that he hadn't seen since last August.



Saturday morning we had great success at the St. George easter egg hunt. Kai even got an egg that had a prize tag in it to redeem at the main table. He hit gold with a 6 pack of chalk in the shape of easter eggs.













After the hunt our little family took off to check out the Arts Festival. Kai got a soccer ball painted on his face and made a craft. We enjoyed some yummy food before heading back for a quick swim before naps with the cousins.









Saturday night we headed to the family dinner. Both kids were in heaven playing with the cousins in the red dirt and preparing eggs for the hunt the next day.







Sunday morning we were excited to wake up and find that the Easter Bunny had visited our hotel room and left lots of goodies- a little candy but mostly stickers, activity books, bubbles etc.





We then packed up our stuff and headed back out to the family breakfast and egg hunt. Rori found an egg with coins in it and thought the noise it made was the best. Kai searched and searched for that golden egg. Finally most of the kids had given up on it, but Mr. Persistence kept going. After the hider made it a bit easier to find Kai was thrilled to be the one to stumble upon it. The Golden Egg had $10 in it which Kai thought was great. Now we just had to explain how that was way better than the egg with all the heavy coins. :)







Our drive home went great due to some Curious George episodes, 2 hour naps, and GC on the radio. As we were getting close to home Kai lamented "I sure love San Diego and St. George". We're still feeling a little worn out from our grand adventures but it was a wonderful time. Thanks to Lance's parents for a fabulous Eater!
