Annual St. George Girl's Trip

This past weekend could not have come soon enough! I have been counting down the days that we could get away and get a little sun! I was excited to get out of town with my momma and the babe. Last time we went I was 7 1/2 months pregnant, swollen and whiny...so needless to say I needed to get that memory out of my mind and make a new one with Irelyn's first girls trip to St. George!

 Irelyn was such a trooper on the way down, sleeping most of the way.We hit all of our usuals as far as shopping goes...Target, Old Navy, Kohls, Factory Stores and the mall. They just opened a new Gap Factory Store, it was fun having somewhere new to go. We tuckered this poor little girl out.

I can't get over her tired eyes in this pic
...and she's out for the count!
We hit our usuals for dining....Pancho & Lefty's, Brick Oven, Cracker Barrel and Neilsen's Frozen Custard. I'll let you decide which was Irelyn's favorite.



Honestly...could she be any cuter?

To be honest...she DID NOT do well in the hotel. I really should have brought her pack 'n' play. The first night she screamed for about an hour and a half before going to sleep. The worst was Sunday morning when I realized the guy in the room next to us was an Ironman athlete (which was going on while we were down there.) I felt horrible thinking she may have kept him up all night before the race. Luckily my mom ran into him outside and apologized. He claims he didn't even hear her...I hope that is true!  Here she is in her somberness in the morning after a rough night.

We of course had to take some fun 10 months old (what?!?!) Pics of Irelyn. She wasn't loving it, but at least I got a few. 

Our first attempt...yeah right!
That's better!
 

Irelyn and I were spoiled rotten by Grandma Carol, and both got new summer wardrobes. We are so grateful for Grandma for being so giving! As you can see, this little girl won the contest for most new clothes in one weekend...and she's obviously pretty happy about it!

I'm sad our trip is over, but we had a blast! I'm so lucky that my mom and I are so close and can spend that many days with each other having fun! I only hope that Irelyn and I can be that close and continue this tradition forever! Now to start counting down til our fall trip to see Thriller....173 days. :)
