Girls Trip

Wow! Just got home last night from the trip of seven silly sassy spastic super sweet sunburned stuffed shopping sisters in St. George! K we thought of a lot more s words but I can't remember them right now. Anyway, it was just way too much fun, thanks to Summer, Heather, Lisa, Kristen, Stephanie, and Darla. We got there Thursday night, got groceries, ate treats and watched a movie. Friday we slept in, some of us went running (not me), then some played tennis (I was a great student of the Summer Whalen Tennis School, and when I say played I was lucky to just return the ball, boundaries did not matter), ate some yummy sandwiches at Jimmy Johns, went into a cute little shop called Urban Renewal, then got dolled up and headed to Vegas. Once there we shopped at the outlets (I found my only purchase there, a pack of princess underwear for Lily), then ate at The Cheesecake Factory, and had some SS walking through the casinos (ask me about these next time I see you), then we caught a gorgeous couple of water shows at the Bellagio and then drove back to St. George that night. Saturday we also slept in, and then layed out and swam for about 6 hours in the 75 degree weather (well some of us were out there more than others), but almost all got severely burned but LOVED every second of it! Then Summer, Lisa, Steph and I played some more tennis and then Steph did some circuits and turbo with us. Let's just say I can hardly move today without being sore since I haven't really worked out in a few years. That night we went to Texas Road House to feast on some delicious rolls, ribs and cheese fries, and afterward some of us even got some Golden Spoon Yogurt for later. After a few games including Scattergories and Family Feud, some watched another movie and some were pooped and went to bed. Sunday we went to sacrament meeting in our coordinating black and white outfits (well almost, Kristen added a splash of color to our ensemble) and then some of us went to eat lunch at Bear Paw Cafe and some went to the rest of church. When we got home, we saw the storm clouds appearing and thought we'd better get a move on and after 3.5 hours we returned to a snowy, cold home. It was so good to be home but I would be lying if I didn't say I'm already looking foreward to the next one:) Thanks to Chad for taking care of everything and knowing how much I needed to have a break, and my friend Kelly who watched Lily on Friday while Chad was at work. And don't worry great pictures are to come, but I didn't have room for my camera so I am just waiting to get everyone else's pictures.

cute blog! I had to check out what you wrote about girls trip. It was so fun. Thanks for your little book club invites too. I actually read "the secret life of bee's." It was a charming little book. So if your still doing book club in like 10 years when my kids are in school, I'll totally come! I just can't add anything else right now. But thanks again.=)
