The kids and I made a quick trip to St.George today. My mom and dad were running in a 1/2 marathon so we went to cheer them on! I was a little nervous because we did this trip movie-free. We need to get a longer car adapter for the DVD player now that the girls are all the way in the back of the van. I was surprised that they did a great job! Andrea started screaming "GET ME OUT OF HERE! LET GO OF ME!" at the Arizona-Utah state line but was great before that. I let the girls take their "gameboys" (Sammy has a Leapster and Andrea has a princess hand held game) and a pad of paper with crayons. That kept them occupied the whole trip! I was so relieved. Jeff didn't come because he had a funeral to go to.
Sammy and Andrea had a fun time seeing Grandma and Grandpa finish their race. We then went to Wendy's for lunch before heading back to Nevada. Sammy and Andrea were really sad to see Grandma and Grandpa leave. They thought we were going to Grandma's for lunch. I am very grateful we were able to make the trip to St. George to see my mom and dad even though it was only for an hour or two.
Another benefit of traveling to St. George this weekend...Harmon's Case Lot Sale!!! I miss grocery shopping in Utah at Associated Foods stores! We picked up the couple of things we needed and drove back to Vegas.
A little side note about our new grocery savings plan....I went to Fresh and Easy today and was able to get our non-Costco food and spend $25. That included $7 for dinner food in two weeks and a couple dollars on things that were 50% off. I felt pretty good about it!!
