Hats and St. Bored

We went to St. George this weekend, or St. Bored as Piper thinks it's called, for one of Jake's bike races. I forgot my camera, and a bunch of other important stuff like clean underwear and diapers for Beck to wear at night, but when I am packing for 4 people and making sure they are entertained the whole time, I am just impressed that is all I forgot. I just wish I could have swapped forgetting underwear for a toothbrush, at least that I could borrow from the front desk.
Jake did well, he is racing expert now in the 30's category so it's super hard and competitive. I think it's a little hard for him to not be smoking everyone else, but he'll "find his legs" and be on the podium in no time.
Other friends of ours went and all Jake's family went. My little nine year old niece did a triathlon and it was awesome. She did so good I almost bawled my eyes out with pride (don't tell anyone). It was really great. The kids had so much fun swimming in the hotel swimming pool with their dad and papa. Indie did not like the pool, nor does she like anything physical or strange. Me and my MIL hit a few quilt shops. And miraculously our kids did soo good on the car drive. I was anticipating Indie being... well, Indie.. and crying the whole time, but she was so pleasant. YAY! Which makes me much more confident in summer road trips.

Here are some random pictures of Piper I took a little while ago. She has this hat she loves. She wears it all the time. What a silly goose.

I wish we could have met up in St. Bored. We went on an awesome hike in Snow Canyon. It was awesome! We went shopping too.

Piper has such a cute personality. I bet she is a lot of fun!
