St. George









So we went on a little vacation to St. George...


And it all started with Protandim...


What's protandim you ask?


Check it for yourself!




It's AMAZING!


Seriously, it has done wonders for my family and I am telling everyone I know!


ANYWHO!


I went to Elite Academy for protandim in Vegas with my sister and a few friends. 


Before I went to Vegas, my little family and I went to St. George together. After a couple of days together my sister picked me up and I continued on to Vegas while the fam headed home :(









St. George and Hurricane are beyond gorgeous!

It was like a different world.

So beautiful.










We rented a jeep and traveled around the Sand dunes and went hunting for Dinosaur tracks...

































Look at that rag tag bunch of travelers...





















You can drive to this point where you gotta get outta your car and travel on foot to see the dinosaur tracks.


They are amazing!


They are right there on the trail and you can even touch them and everything! ;)

















The next day we went to more of a museum type place to see even more dino tracks.


They had incredible tracks but it took the fun out of it not being able to touch them and I loved that the others were out in nature, not in a building.
















The kids loved it though.... for about 15 minutes ;)






Honestly the best part about the museum was the gift shop where we picked up this bad boy...


























Who hasn't dreamed about being a paleontologist? 


It just looks like a lot of fancy brushing and gentle digging.


Nick and I may or may not have bought that for ourselves...


and we may or may not have been fighting over it while the kids played in the sandbox outside the museum ;) 










St. George temple.

So gorgeous surrounded my the red mountains.










Before my family headed home we killed time playing at a park. 

It was so refreshing to be outside!



















Rome and I played with my camera on a bridge nearby...


He likes to make this face so he can make sure his dimple shows up ;)

And every time he asks "can you see my dimple?"

He used to say "can you see my nipple?" - but I had to be a proper grown up and correct him - boo!










And he was the photographer behind this MARVELOUS picture of me :P




We had so much fun!

And I was so sad to see my family go.

I was so excited to get some grownup time in Vegas but most the time I was just missing my husband and my kids.

Oh motherhood you have changed me so.

That is so cool of a trip. Hasn't Rome been obsessed with dinosaurs for a while? Seeing that pic of your Nick with the three kids reminded me of pics of my family and all of the places we traveled growing up. Way fun!

Looks like fun! I love the pic of Roman walking in the dinosaur tracks. :)
