The really great thing about Wes's job is that one of his clients is Skywest. Their office is located in St. George so throughout the year he has to travel down and spend a fair amount of time there. This works out perfect for me and the girls because we get to enjoy a mini-vacation and visit my family. This summer we took full advantage of the two weeks he was scheduled to be there. We played while he worked and we spent more time with him as he didn't spend an hour and a half of his day commuting to and from home like he usually does. St. George was boiling. I took Halle on a walk one morning and she was miserable. She kept saying it was hot and running to each bit of shade she could find so she could "hide from the sun." We were approaching fire and brimstone temperatures for much of the time we were there. I don't remember St. George being that hot. As a result, Halle spent a fair amount of time in her swimming suit doing different water activities in order to beat the heat.
One of our favorite places to go is the river and splash pad they have in the middle of town.
Grandma and Grandpa's pool is always a nice way to cool down and still enjoy being outside.
The dollar store provided a lot of the fun with cheap water guns. And according to Halle, any game played with daddy is a real good time. Oh, and Lily was there too. We just kept her sweet baby skin in the shade.
Helping to create a kid's childhood that they will love and remember fondly is a truly wonderful thing. They may not remember everything we did, but I hope that general feeling of happiness they experience will linger throughout their lives.
