Jacobs Family Trip

This past Memorial Day was the annual Jacobs family vacation. It was such a fun time! My brother and his wife, Shane and Meri, flew in from Chicago and so the whole family was able to be together! Friday morning we took off down to St. George. We drove with Shane and Meri which was so great to have that time with them, especially because they live far away. Friday night we ate at the infamous In and Out. James got his favorite, cheese burger and fries, and I got their grilled cheese. After dinner we headed over to the yummy Blue Bunny for some awesome ice cream.

We celebrated my Dad's birthday at Blue Bunny with a beautiful serenade from my brothers over the intercom in 3 high pitch voices that should not have come out of grown men. My dad got to wear a rockin Ice Cream hat. Happy Birthday Dad!! We stayed up late playing Times Up. I have never laughed so hard at the different actions, "I have not had sexual relations with another woman" imitiation from Cory, and faces when initialing looking at the cards. ha ha. It was so much fun to be able to all hang out together! Saturday the boys were able to play golf at their favorite course Sky Mountain in Hurricane. Tam, Meri, and I did Turbo Jam while everyone else headed off to the pool. We met up with them after Turbo, and enjoyed swimming, but we couldn't deny the cold weather much longer. We went to Pizza Factory and waited for our turn to taste their deliciousness. While we were waiting James and I took a walk to a scooter place. He tried to teach me how to drive one, and my chances to buy one went down quite a few notches. James, Meri, Shane, Todd, Dad, and myself played Settlers of Cataan. To my surprise, this game was a lot of fun!

Sunday we took the day to relax and enjoy the warming weather. We took a nice walk along the river where we found some rocks to throw in the dam, horses to pet, and throw a football along the way. Did a little swimming, then we had the Jacobs version of Cafe Rio. It was oh so delicious!! Cory's infamous salsa, my Mom's pork, perfect Cafe Rio rice (ok side story - my Mom made the rice at home before we left for St. George but realized on the way down she forgot the rice. So she called her friend, Shelley Johnson, to go break into the house and bring the rice down. HA HA. My Mom will do anything to make sure her family is taken care of!)

Monday the boys were able to golf again and we cleaned up and went shopping and one last round at In-and-Out. The weekend was such a blast and it was so fun to be in one living space with my entire family!! It was so nice to be able to spend the weekendIt is going to be weird to have Todd and Tam living in Missouri and Shane and Meri in Chicago with only us and Cory and Trish here, but we sure will make sure to cherish every time we have together!! Thanks Mom and Dad for such an awesome weekend, we loved every minute!! Momma Jill and Boston

Cory put tons of silly string from the dollar store and everywhere we went he was spraying one of us or a car next to them or a random person. This is the after-effect of Todd and Cory with the silly string.
