Mini Vacation

Darryl's sister, Aileen, blessed her baby a few weeks back, so we decided to go and make a little trip out of it. The kids thought the most exciting part of the whole trip was staying in a hotel. We've never done that before with all the kids, and they were thrilled. I love how the simple things make them so happy!

We went to an outdoor pool with a pretty rad water slide. The kids were afraid at first, but once they got the hang of it they didn't want to stop. Darryl and I didn't want to stop either!

Here comes Darryl and Valerie!


Ray and Kyle


Grandpa is Damon's favorite person!


And these are all MY favorite people!



We went to dinner afterwards, and my guess is that Damon was pretty wiped out from the day.



I happened to spot these 2 adorable kids after church on Sunday, whose kids are these??? They are to die for! :)


The whole clan after the blessing. We make quite the scene. :)



We all headed over to the St. George Temple after church. Wow, I LOVE this temple. It's gorgeous!











We made a new discovery on this trip. Damon loves to throw a tea party...for himself! :)




Now that the kids are a little older, trips like these are a blast! Even though it was only for a couple days, it was totally worth it.

That's so fun that y'all went up! I'm sure that meant a lot to Aileen.

Chloe is very impressed with Damon's "tea setting" skills. She'd love to join him for tea anytime. . Maya's got a smokin tea set she's willing to share!

That was great that everyone could go. Remember when Damon fell asleep at the Pizza Factory? Those little get aways can really be nice.
