Yaaada Yaaddaa Yadaa... We Saw a Zebra

This last week the Brown family of three had their first vacation together.
Wednesday night we packed up our little blue car (we were going to rent a car so we wouldn't put more miles on the luxurious Dodge Neon but yaada, yaada, yaada... no rental car) with all our junk, the babyface, and our friend Ashley(her sweet daughter was already in St. George and her hubby Jason drove down Friday night).
We left at 6:00pm. It was a very stormy night and some parts of the drive were really scary. We hydro-planed, I kept asking Chris if he was nervous, he got tired of me asking, baby slept and yada, yaddaa, yaaddda...we got to St. George at 11:30pm.
We stayed at Hotel Jensen, the beautiful home of our friend Ashley's very nice parents.
The main reason we went down to St. George was to watch my pops play softball in the senior games.

When we woke up Thursday morning we walked out on the balcony of Hotel Jensen and across the street just happened to be the park were my dad was playing and guess who just happened to be in the parking lot...my dad, funny.
The last couple years his team, 'Second Wind', have won a couple of gold medals, a couple of silvers and a few bronze medals. Unfortunately one of their players got hurt, not enough players to play and yaaddda yaada yada... no metal.
I'm so proud of my dad, he's amazing. We loved watching him play and can't wait to see him and his team dominate next year!

We made Elanora a cute little onesie(shout out to Dawn who helped us print the transfer)that said 'Second Wind' and had #19 on the back(my dads number). Someone put 'Second Wind' on the onesie upside down(Chris) and yaadaa, yadda, yaada...we had to get creative to fix the upside down 'Second Wind'(shout out to Ashley who helped us fix the upside down 'Second Wind' at 1:00 in the morning.


What is a vacation without lots of food? We ate at (in chronological order) McDonald's, Chuck a Rama, Egg and I, Taste of St. George
(this was held at the park. Local restaurants had booths set up so you could taste their food. Pic is of Elanora and Addy at the park.), Anasazi Steakhouse. Anasazi Steakhouse was really yummy! I give it 5 stars, a smiley face and two thumbs up. We had cheese fondue to start with and that was super good. Then I had steak and Chris had chicken. They serve the meat on a hot stone. You're able to control how well done you want your meat. The longer you keep the meat on the stone the more well done it gets. Fun. Then we had chocolate fondue, I hate chocolate but I did like the fruit! Yaadaa yadda yada...add 10 pounds to my belly.
We had many more wondrous adventures: We went to Tuacahn, and took a picture of the cast of 'The Little Mermaid'

Wait a minute, that is the cutest little red crab I've ever seen!
'The Little Mermaid' was sold out but my parents took us up there to look around. I've never been there. It was breathtaking!


We went to a fun pet store, did some shopping(I got a cute hoodie, Chris got a cute hoodie, when we got home he tried his on, the zipper was on the wrong side, yaddda, yaada, yada...I got two hoodies),went to the splash pad, Climbed on some red rocks

To get this picture I set the timer, I ran apparently not fast enough yaddaa, yaada yaaddaa...best picture we took :)
What vacation is complete without a little brush with the law?

We really did get a ticket, but so did our friends Jason and Ashley. Funny.
