Our Trip to St. George/Enterprise










So this past weekend we went up to St. George for the weekend. We were meeting Steve's sister Cait and her family on Monday for the day. They live in Provo and were visiting family for the weekend. So we decided to make a weekend of it. On Saturday we stayed at a hotel. (ask the boys the best thing about Saturday and they will tell you the hotel. It shows how often we stay at one) We drove around St. George and visited the St. George Temple and visitor center. Steven took pictures on his phone of almost all of the Book of Mormons in different languages. He thought that was really cool.




On Sunday, we drove up to Enterprise to see the Holt's (a family that just recently moved up there from our ward) We had a great time. Why??? Do you ask? There was a special reason, other than the fact that they got to see there friends and play the WII (nintendo) IT HAD SNOW!! Yes, that cold, wet, white stuff that I happen to like living without. The boys loved it. We went to church with the Holt's and then had lunch and the boys went outside to play. Matthew was sick and so he stayed inside, but the other boys went. We also got to go see and feed some horses and drove around town. We had a great time. Thanks to the Holts for there hospitality and letting us stay overnight.









Okay, now for Monday. We drove Monday morning back to St. George and visited with Cait, Ben and the kids (Steve's sister and family). We visited at Ben's sister's house, Mindy, who was kind enough to let all 14 of us invade her home. We had lunch and then went to visit this place called the Lemon Squeeze. Steve and Ben and the kids went and hiked up and squeezed through. The only one not to make is was Steve. He was too big?? Imagine that. I guess all those extra muscles from his new job is doing something:) Bette and the girls stayed down with the babies and the dogs and watched. We had a great time going to a park afterwards and then had dinner at Mindy's house and drove home.

You did it! Your getting really good at this blog thing! It was fun to read. Hope everyone is getting better. We were all sick two weeks ago so we were immune to whatever was going around.
