Weekend getaway

           This past weekend we took a trip to St. George to watch the air show with the blue angels.  The weather wasn't as pleasant as I hope for when we take a trip there (of course it's 15 degrees colder and decides to rain when we go down) but we still had fun and for as bad as the forecast looked we really lucked out.  Matt's grandparents have a house there so we were able to stay with them (not that we would have been able to get a hotel if they didn't live there!)  Hayden had fun playing with "gamma" and he LOVED seeing all the airplanes.  I can't believe how many people were there!  We heard that EVERY hotel was sold out over a month ago because of the air show and baseball tournaments.  Crazy!  We were nervous about the drive (Hayden does not enjoy riding in the car and we haven't gone farther than delta since we got rid of the binks) but he did so great!  He fell asleep on the couch for 5 minutes before we left but i was still hopeful that he would sleep at least a little on the way down. . . Nope.  He stayed awake the whole time but surprisingly didn't throw any fits!  He sat and pointed out every vehicle we passed telling us what it was and played with his cars and watched a movie.  He was super good the hour we were in the car before and after the air show (the line was so LONG) and he slept the whole way home from St. George to Orem! He never does that!

Hayden as we pulled into the air show and he started to see the planes. Love this little man!

Love this face.  He was so happy to watch the planes out the window.

He squealed about the planes the whole way!

I can't believe how huge these planes are.

matt and my grandpa being twins.  they chit chatted the whole time. it was so cute! sometimes i think matt is an old man trapped in a 28 year old body

He was sooo good during the almost five hours at the air show.  He sat with us in our little cramped spot and played the whole time and was so tuckered by the end that he fell asleep before we could even get him to give up this bottle.  Can't wait for another little family weekend outing!  I can't seem to handle being stuck in our apartment any more and this was just what we needed!

           Of course I have to do a house update to announce that. . . our house has finally started!  They dug our basement today and things will move very quickly from this point on.  Can't wait till June when we get to move in!
