Labor Day Adventure

I didn't have any plans for Labor Day, other than relaxing and enjoying time off of school. However, Friday afternoon, Jeremy informed me that he would be working all weekend. I was bummed that we wouldn't be able to hang out with him and definitely didn't want to just stay home all weekend. So, I decided I would check the kids out of school and head to sunny St. George. My Mom just had double knee replacement surgery, so I thought it would be a good time to visit her. Plus, what better way to spend a weekend then swimming, playing and no cleaning for me!

I've never checked the kids out early before, so they were absolutely shocked and a little worried that something was wrong. They were so surprised when I told them we were taking a quick vacation. We headed out right from school and made it just in time for dinner.



I didn't tell my parents we were coming, so we decided to just stop by and surprise them in the morning. The next morning we woke up and the kids picked out some flowers for Grandma. We knocked on their door and definitely surprised them. It was such a beautiful day. We spent most of the morning outside feeding the swans and visiting.




Grandma had two boo-boos on her knees and Livi wanted to show Grandma her boo-boos too.

Emma was just happy having 'cuddle time' with Grandma.


The rest of the time was spent playing at various parks and lots of swimming. We also had a few home cooked meals and a BYU game, both courtesy of my Dad.










It was so much fun and reminded me that I really need to be spontaneous more often. I just love spending time with these kids!
