We stay at Las Palmas Green Valley every year, but this year was the best. Our condo was on the first level of the first building which puts us right smack in front of the pool and recreation area. The kids were in HEAVEN!!!! I'll let the pictures do the explaining....
Bryn's first friend sleep-over. She was so cute and giggly.
The boy's taking a break watching TV.
My lil bro Jer and his son Asher came with us. It was so fun to hang out with them and catch up on life.
These four girls were inseparable. They had the time of their lives riding around on their scooters with oodles of independence.
My parents stayed with us as well. It's never a full fledged family vacation without them. It's always more fun when Crampa and Grandma Karen come!!!!!!
Seriously, lil Asher is the cutest 3 year old EVER!!!!! He kept us entertained for days. The girls fell in love with him (and vice versa) and wanted to spend every waking moment with him.
Now that Berks and Taylor are teenagers, they love to lay out and look pretty. I think they were in HEAVEN with all the boys around.
We hurried to the pool every morning to set up our towels and chairs. The place was packed and it took a little planning on our part. Brian and Lori rearranging the furniture a bit.
We had a great time chit chatting with neighbors and friends. I'm pretty sure half our neighborhood was sitting at the pool. Ha Ha!
Do you think these two look like brother and sister? We sure do. They are such good buddies and had a great time splashing in the pool and playing with Asher.
Bryn thinks this is the funniest picture of Ash. She belly laughs every time she sees it.
Brian took the older girls to the pet store one afternoon. They each picked a puppy. How cute is that? Berkley's puppy is a little fluff ball.
I spent the majority of the trip covered up. My skin just isn't what it used to be... Darn it!
Joe was able to fully relax on this trip. It was AWESOME!!!!! We exercised in the morning, played tennis for a few hours and sat at the pool every afternoon. Can you see why I wanna go back so badly? It was dreamy.
Ash and Jer are so cute. I think they're coming over next weekend to play again. The girls talk about Ash non-stop and miss him so much. Romney has a surprise for him when he comes again....
The kids got together and played night soccer with the Dads and Jeremy. The Dads were the Goalies. The kids had a blast!!!!I think Asher had a lil crush on Romney. He followed her EVERYWHERE and she loved it (I think)... He called her THE GIRL.
Ooooh.... I can see the competitiveness in Berks face. She's ready for some soccer action.
Saturday morning was lots of fun. Las Palmas puts on an Easter Extravaganza. The kids get to decorate eggs, lots of crafts, snow cones & cotton candy and bounce houses. The kids were set.
Lots of glitter and sparkles for Bryn.
More friends and fun...
Joe's training for a half Ironman right now and got a lot of swimming done throughout the week. I took this picture right after he took his goggles off. Hee hee!
More decorating. Of course Asher squeezed right between the girls. He's no dummy!
Jer sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the show.
Easter morning was great. The Easter Bunny found us again this year. Phew!
I set my camera's timer and dove into this family picture. It took a few tries before I actually made it into the frame. Ha ha! Good times. We had a little Easter lesson on the Savior and it was just what we needed to end our trip right.
See you next year St. George!!!
