St. George Day 2

Saturday morning we all slept in til about 9 then headed over to the main office in the hotel for the buffet breakfast. The girls were in heaven they had everything from waffles to biscuits and gravy to cereal to fruit and granola. It was a pretty good mix and variety. We found a little table of the patio and enjoyed out breakfast it was quiet, in the shade, and the kids loved watching the birds look for worms on the grass. Then we went back to our room and got ready for our 1st hike of the trip, Red Cliffs. We were all very excited to hike to the waterfall. The trail head is about 15 minutes north of St. George and we were in for a major disappointment to see they had the road to the trail head shut down to widen the road. There was no way in except to hike an extra 2 miles to the trail head. Matt and I decided it probably wasn't worth it and that the girls would be so tired. So we sadly packed up and headed back in St. George we were all a little sad and weren't quite sure where to start with the rest of our day. while driving back we decided to stop at kid to kid and I was very glad we did. The girls were each able to find themselves some disney figuring. Hallie picked out the ones from Little Mermaid and Grace the ones from Cinderella. They have played with them a ton! Good purchase for sure.
After that we hit up the outlets for a hour or so before we decided it was time to grab some lunch. After lunch we headed back to the hotel for naps. Our girls are both at the age that if we schedule time out in the day for naps that the rest of the time is so much more enjoyable. Matt and I usually watch a show or as I am now blog while they sleep. Sometimes we even nap with them too! Then after a couple hours we headed back to the outlets to finish up a few stores we didn't get to previously. I had told the girls if they were good we would stop at the chocolate store and they could pick a treat. So just as we finished shopping we swung by and grabbed some goodies. Hallie and Gracie both picked caramel apples and I picked a giant square of toffee. It was all delicious!!!  


 Then we figured it was time for some actual dinner. The girls really wanted pizza so Pizza Factory was an obvious choice. I was thrilled to find out they have a gluten free option as well. 

 By the time we got done eating it was almost 8:30 and time for bed. So we headed back to the hotel and called it an early night we were all in bed and asleep by 10. I think the late night the night before had caught up to us. Another great day in the books for our trip. What I was reminded about today is that Im not at my best when Im tired and that even when plans get messed up there is still a lot of fun to be had.
