St. George with the Croppers

Before the summer came to an end, we went down to sunny St. George for a trip with the Croppers. All of Matt's siblings, their kids, and my in-laws were there. We all chipped in and rented this great historical house that had it's own pool, tennis court, and carriage house (just another place for more people to sleep).

Lilly got plenty of attention from all of her aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was quite popular the whole trip! Here she is with Aunt Kathy.

This is my cutie nephew Landon. He is such a "ham" when the camera comes out. It was great to have Bryce and Suzy's family there - all the way from Maine!

This was a common scene....Lilly just hanging out and a big crowd of cousins hovering, just waiting to get her to laugh or smile.

We stayed up late almost every night playing games....and then we played some more during the day too. The most popular game by far was "Dutch Blitz".

Check out those THIGHS! (Yeah, baby!)
Miss Lilly sportin' her awesome pink swimsuit. She loved hanging out in just her swimsuit out by the pool....in the shade of course - and loving the heat!

The biggest hit in the pool was this huge blow-up Shamu whale. All of the kids (ok, the adults too!) loved riding on it. Sam just couldn't stop smiling while he had a turn!

The pool also had a small portion that was only about 2 feet deep. It was great to let the little kids swim in there and not have to worry! Sam and Tyler could have spent all day out there in the shallow section!

One night most of the gang went down to Las Vegas to see "The Lion King"...but those of us that stayed behind went to the Dixie Bowl to go bowling. Cheryse, Lilly, and I hung out in the back and cheered every body on!

Good times had by all in St. George!
