Saint George Vocabulary Words

As I mentioned in my last post, we just got back from a vacation in Saint George with extended family. We had five of the eight families there with Scotty's dad and step-mom. I won't give the whole play by play of our time in Saint George, but here are a few suitable vocabulary words to describe the various aspects of our vacation:

Gigantic: 

Nicky on the vacation house furniture.

This is one of many reasons we avoid IKEA.

Dedicated: 

Eva and her refusal to be in photos.

We took family photos one night, and Eva sat off to the side and pouted. She held strong while everyone ate dinner and played corn hole around her.

Delicious:

The food

We ate Veyo Pies, steak, tacos, cookies, and daily smorgasbords. No one starved. 

Devastated: 

Eva and Zoe watching the final episode of Amphibia on Disney+

I walked upstairs one morning and found both of them sobbing hysterically. Zoe was especially tender afterward. 

Rebellious: 

Grandkids on the water slide

Any time the slide was unsupervised by resort staff, the kids would sneak in as many trains as possible.

Buoyant: 

Float tubes in the lazy river

Pretty much any time during pool hours, you could stand by the lazy river and catch a family member floating by. 

Competitive: 

The games we played

My brother-in-law, Tim, arranged a family golf tournament. Grandma and Grandpa played Left Center Right with cash prizes. Amber led BINGO. Poker Junkie Riley hosted two nights of Texas Holdem, and on the second night, it came down to him and me, and I took him out. This is a big deal because Riley is the type of poker player you can ask, "What are the odds of winning with pocket sevens?" and he'll be all, "Bla bla bla, stat stat stat." 

Boastful: 

Me after beating Riley at poker. 

Excessive: 

The amount of goggles Zoe owns

I don't even know the number, but this girl is obsessed with goggles, and we have to take at least three different pairs every time she goes to the pool. 

Fun: 

The entire trip

This was such a good trip. I think we had the perfect balance of fun, rest, and time with family.

The extended family portion of the trip ended on Wednesday, but our family made a few stops on the way home. So you'll have to endure one more vacation post!
