I just realized that I never posted about our amazing vacation we took about a month ago. It was sooo much fun! Warning: his post is a LONG one, prepare for a picture overload!
St George
We spent the first couple nights in St George. We saw The Little Mermaid at Tuacahn. They can do so much with water at the Tuacahn theater. It really was awesome.

| We didn't see Grease, but the kids wanted us to take a picture anyway. |

| Our family during the show. |
Tuacahn had changed their policy after we bought our tickets and no longer allows kids under 2 to attend. We didn't find out about the change until we got there. It took some pretty stubborn arguing on my part, but we were eventually allowed to take Cora in with us. The kids did so good during the show. I was surprised how long they actually stayed awake. It didn't end until almost midnight.

This was really cheap (the kids were free) and we spent hours there. Our kids didn't want to leave they loved all the ships and submarines. I was totally surprised by how much fun they had.

We had such a great trip and made so many memories! I loved spending 24/7 with the people I love most!
This is pretty much how we all felt by the end of 10 very fun and very long days!
(And probably how you are feeling if you made it to the end of this marathon post!)
