St George for Easter weekend

Leave it to me to be mean and grumpy and annoyed if anyone asks me to do something I don't really want to do and that will might put me in an awkward situation. I never want to get out of my shell and especially hang out with people I don't really know. Well TJ and some guys at work had planned a weekend in St George staying at Kendall and Jamie's condo. It would be them and their twin boys, Spencer, his wife Joni and their 4 kids and us. I was not excited. I hardly knew these girls and they knew each other and the guys were all friends since they work together. I never said anything and decided to just bite my tongue on this one and try not to be too noticeably pissed (I don't think I am good at hiding that). Well the guys had work off on Friday so we all drove down Thursday night. We didn't get there until around 11 and I was so tired from having got up at 5:15 to run 14 miles (TJ still doesn't know that part, maybe he would understand my beastliness). Anyways we put the kids down and I just went straight to bed I was so tired. Everyone prob thought I was so lame to not hang out since we had just got there. In the morning the guys went golfing and us moms took the kids to the pools. It was such a nice condo with 3 great pools and parks and the kids were in HEAVEN. Joni had an 11 year old daughter who just entertained my girls and they had so much fun with her. It was nice to sit around in the hot sun and chat the girls. I really do like them and we had a lot of stuff to talk about. Once the guys got back we all ate lunch and then the girls went to get pedicures. Tallie came along with since Joni's daughter came. She was so happy to be hanging out with the big kids. After we went to Costco to pick up steaks and food for the guys to cook for dinner. The kids played down at the park right outside the condo. We stayed up late and watched some movie (I may have fallen asleep), and TJ and Spencer at some point went on a "Swig" cookie run, which I woke up for :) and I don't even like sugar cookies but man those were to die for. The next day we hung out at the pools all morning until the kids were tired and then we took a drive to get us some Veyo Pies (another first for me). They were so good and it was so ironic that this pie shop is at the bottom of the well know Veyo Hill that runs through the St George Marathon. It was so crazy to look at that hill and realize that I had run up during the middle of a marathon. You would seriously have to run up and down that hill like 10 times to work off your pie. We stopped at the Gap Outlet and did some minor shopping. Everyone was staying over for Easter Sunday but we drove home Saturday night so we could be home with family on Easter.  It really was a great trip and I am so glad I went. I wish it was easy for me to try new things or meet new people but hey at least now the ice is broken with that group of people and hanging out with them will be so much more fun now.
