Tuacahn

The October cold snap followed us south! We got rained on and it was very cold for the girls first trip to Tuacahn. They liked it anyway! Especially when Dad went and bought them warm churros and nuts! See how he works?
We went back the next (sunny) day for pictures. We only got there by the skin of our teeth after Katie's early out day and a quick drive south. (Which is the reason we finally found for loving being at the south end of the Wasatch Front!)

 See how much we like the sun we finally got? :)

We hope to go again next year to see The Little Mermaid!

St. George and Las Vegas

I know it's a month after, but better late than never!!

In October, Brett and I had a little overnight getaway to St. George. We had a free night stay (thanks Steve!) at an awesome place called the Green Gate Village. We stayed in the Christmas Cottage. So fun! We went to Tuacahn and saw Aida. It's one of my favorite musicals from my bachelorette days, but Brett didn't prefer it. That's okay! :) We went out to dinner with our Mission President and wife, the Terry's. We went to a movie in the THEATER and bought POPCORN! (Yes, this is a vacation!!) We took a tour through Brigham Young's home in St. George. We did a session in the St. George temple with family names (thanks Lauretta). It was SOOO fun and SOOO refreshing! We need to remember to be consistent with these outings!!It turned out to be the same weekend that BYU played UNLV in Las Vegas. At Brett's cousin's invitation (thanks David!) we met up with our kids and family (thanks Lauretta and Kevin) and went down to Las Vegas for a brief visit! (Can you see how much help we had???!!!) Katie loved playing with Luke and Mia and the tailgate party was lots of fun. BYU won the game (important!). It was a brief whirlwind trip (what else is new!) but with lots of fun memories.Mia and Katie were such great pals. Mia came over to the blue side by the end of the night.
Mandy loved the popcorn.
Dad won a field goal kicking contest.
Are you red or blue????
