Go Grease Lightning

On Saturday July 23, we took a mini-Va-K to St. George to go to Tuacahn and see Grease.  I have wanted to take Cayden to Little Mermaid but those tickets were hard to come by.  Connor was going to Pioche with grandma and grandpa so we just had Cayden and Caleb (oh and the baby bundle).  We drove to St. George and went to Olive Garden for dinner.  We let the kids get whatever they wanted and so Caleb got Lobster Ravioli and then they each got their own desserts. It was quite delicious.  After dinner we ran to Target for a few things and Don got a haircut next door at GreatClips then we checked into our hotel-The Hampton Inn.  We headed to Tuacahn around 7:15.  Don and Caleb had not been there before even though Cayden and I had-last year to see Tarzan and the year before that Cody and I went with some of Don's family to Les Mis.  There really is not a bad seat in that place and even though it was really hot they do have misters and frozen lemonade and snow cones.  The kids really liked Grease even though they knew nothing about it.  I was glad that Tuacahn made it a bit more tasteful than the actual movie was.  After the show we hit In and Out Burger just to give me an extra extra dose of heartburn and headed back to the hotel.  The next morning we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast where Cayden almost needed the heimlich after too much bacon in his mouth-then instead of going home we drove up to Pine Valley.  Don has been wanting to take the kids camping up there and he wanted to check it out before they went.  It was still pretty warm even in Pine Valley but it was nice under the trees.  The boys hiked around a little and Caleb even used his Leave No Trace skills and picked up some trash and a soda can from the river. I sat on a rock and swatted at mosquitoes.After Pine Valley we went to Arby's and then drove home.  It was a quick but nice little jaunt.
