A Great Escape

Kyle and I spent the weekend in St. George with my family and Susan and Craig. We left after work on Thursday and came home on Monday afternoon. Dad has a friend who owns a couple of apartments and he let us rent one for the weekend. On Friday we drove into Las Vegas and spent the afternoon at the outlet stores. They had great sales and it would have been easy to spend a ton of money but we practiced restraint. On the way home we drove through Mesquite and found out they had a big antique car show going on for the weekend. As soon as Dad and Kyle discovered that they knew where they were spending the next day so they disappeared on Saturday and spent the day wandering through it. While they did that the rest of us met Mary Ann, Kathy, Kim and her girls for lunch at the Pizza Factory and went to some more stores.

On Sunday Ted and MaryAnn fixed us a delicious dinner and we spent the evening visiting. Depression set in for all of us as we realized we had to go home the next day. Monday morning before hitting the road we met Roy and the Twiggs at The Cracker Barrell for breakfast. It was a warm, nice, relaxing weekend and I think we all needed the break. Natalie cooperated by not going into labor. We appreciate her accomodating us with that. We are all so excited to meet the newest member of the family, but we can wait until a little closer to her due date.

Eric and I took a little St. George getaway just after Christmas. We ate dinner at that very same Cracker Barrell--the first time for both of us.

(Have you tried Nielsen's Frozen Custard? Such a good thing that they don't have one of those in Logan. I gain about 3 pounds just looking at it.)

I'm so glad you guys had such a fun time, but still so jealous we couldn't go! You're very welcome for not going into labor--I do what I can for the good of the family. Love ya! :)
