Our next few weeks are just crazy busy.. all sorts of photoshoots, family events, all that jazz. So we decided to run away for a couple of days. Last Friday, we drove down to St. George and saw Tarzan at the Tuachan. Luckily, we're not cultured, so we loved it :) Then we went to our super nice hotel in Mesquite and slept.. and slept.. and slept.. We never get to sleep, so it was niiiice.
Saturday we slept in (haha) and then went out to breakfast. We went to a movie theater and saw Inception (soooo good!) and then went to St. George to kill time before dinner. After some major wandering, we ended up at Brigham Young's house and the Temple Visitor Center. We spent about three hours at both those places and it was great. We learned a ton about the church and had fun chatting with the missionaries. Then we went to dinner at Osaka.. sushi and shrimp/vegetable tempura.. yum!! Then swam, slept, and drove home in the morning. I should have taken more photos, but we needed a break :)
Sunday we went on a nice walk/drive up the Alpine Loop with Mom, Dad & Lisa. It was really pretty, and absolutely perfect weather. Plus, we got to watch THE "Nanny" take Nick down.. she's a karate master, so he obviously didn't stand a chance...
Monday, Labor Day, was Lisa's birthday. So after an arduous day of taking down trees (Nick) and cleaning the apartment (me.. hey, it was that bad, okay??) we grabbed the Penrods, Lisa and a couple of her friends, and headed back up the canyon. We roasted hotdogs, made Lisa laugh with an ingenius card, roasted marshmallows, sang "Happy Birthday".. and watched Maya play in the dirt :)
Good weekend :)
What a great weekend! I am happy you guys got to have a fun marshmallow roast with Lisa and I can't say I am surprised that Mom conquered. She is an athlete!
ReplyDeleteFun update! I'm glad you got an action shot of Nick going down. Thanks for fixing Lisa a b'day marshmallow....her only b'day treat. Maya needs to be on a Tide commercial:)
