After Kayla and I got back from Texas, I wanted to do something with Vanessa. So I talked with Casey and Ashlee to see if they wanted to go to St. George for the weekend and hang out. I was planning on getting a hotel room for the weekend, but Ashlee's parents were nice enough to let us use their house in St. George for the weekend. We decided to go for the weekend of the 24th of July. I thought since I had promised the girls that I would eventually take them to see what Vegas was like, we would do it this trip since Casey and Ashlee were with us.
We left here on Friday night after Ashlee got done with beauty school for the week. As soon as we were packed up, gassed and had something to drink for the ride, we were on our way. Since we did not stop for dinner on the way down, we decided after we had dropped our stuff off at the house to go and get something to eat. We were all so tired we did not want to go sit in somewhere, so we just got some take-out and went back to the house to eat. After we ate it was off to bed for us (especially me), I think the girls stayed up and played cards for awhile. But I was tired and I kept hearing that bed calling my name.
Saturday morning we woke up and the girls and I dropped Casey off to visit with a friend of his that lives down there and we were off to meet up with my friend Kate and her son Jared. We spent most of the morning shopping and than met up with Casey for something to eat. Saturday night Casey, the girls and I spent the evening playing cards and just enjoying the time to relax and spend together as a family. We decided that we would go to Vegas for the day the next morning, since my friend Kate had to work. So the next day we woke up early, we all got ready and than off to Vegas we went.
Vegas was fun, but very hot and tiring. Casey had been struggling with a sprained ankle and I was completely out of breath. We did walk to the Coke Cola and M&M's store and walked around for awhile and than we headed back to the car. It was a very long journey since we had parked at the Belagio and walked down. As soon as we got to the car we stripped off our shoes and relaxed in the nice cool air condition car. On the way back to St. George we decided to stop at Cracker Barrel in St. George for dinner. The atmosphere was really nice and cool and the food was delicious. Everyone but me had decided that they wanted to go to the pool that is in the community that the McFarlane's house is in. So they all went swimming and I decided to head to bed and read for awhile. I think I was asleep when they all got back.
Monday we got up and packed everything up. Than we made sure to shut everything off and close up the house. As soon as this was done we headed back home to Pleasant Grove. Thank you Casey and Ashlee for going with us, and a very special thanks to Clarke and Shawnee for allowing us to use their house in St. George.
