My Mom, Lauren, Drake and I headed south to St. George for my sister Lauren's spring break. We stopped on the way down and shopped at the Gateway, and ate at the "Dodo" (That place is so good). We stayed at the Wood's condo and got there late Wednesday night. Drake was so good in the car.

Thursday my Great Aunt Millie and her son Fredrick came over from Mesquite to see us. Drake loved Fredrick. They watched Dora together while the girls got ready. I love this picture of them!
Drake and Grandma Lisa. He slept so good while we were down there. There is a room in the Condo that is really dark. We put him in there and he went to bed every night between 9 and 10 and woke up every day at noon. It was AWESOME!
Lauren, Fredrick and Ashley. He was so excited to see us, and we were excited to see him. Last month we went to Vegas with the Neils and we stopped in Mesquite to see Millie and Fredrick. So this time in St. George he kept asking were Hayley was and how she was doing. He had a little crush on her. (Sorry John)
We ate lunch at 25 Main. It was delicious! They had awesome sandwiches, soup and cupcakes.
We did some shopping on Thursday and ate dinner at the Pizza Factory. Their bread twists are so good!
Friday we all woke up at noon. It rained the whole time we were there, so there wasn't a whole lot to do. Because the sun decided not to show, Lauren and I went tanning and then stopped and got Croshaw's Pot Pies. My mom and I headed to Lazy Daisy Quilt shop (so fun), while Drake watched Dora and Mickey Mouse with Lauren.
Friday evening Lauren, Drake and I went to Target to do more shopping. Drake hates shopping and usually tries to get out of the cart, wants to walk and get into everything. I stopped at the little food place in Target and got him a snack and he was awesome the whole time.... oh yeah and I let him suck on his binky!
That night we went to Pancho and Lefty's for Dinner. Friday night my mom and I stayed up sewing pretty late. We were able to get some projects done! Saturday we hit up some more quilt shops and did some more sewing and shopping and of course stopped at Nielsen's! It was such a fun trip. We did a whole lot of nothing, but that is what was so fun about it. Drake was great in the car on the way home. He watched Dora for 4 hours straight. We pulled into Logan and Lauren said, "I HATE Dora and Boots!" I told her it was better than listening to Drake cry.

I am right there with your sister. I HATE DORA AND BOOTS TOO!! Oh, the sound of her voice makes me want to poke my eyeballs out! Why do our children love these shows? You're right though, it is much better than listening to screaming. I'm really excited that I get to watch Dora for 16 hours in a couple of weeks. Pray for strength.
Glad you guys had fun. I would love to sit around and do a whole lot of nothing, that sounds fabulous!!
Sorry that we took all the good weather before you went there, but it looks like you had a great time anyway! (oh, and I'm praying that any of my children will sleep like that some day!)
I love the picture of him in the shopping cart!
