Monday we met up with Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins in St. George. We had dinner together and went to Tuachan to see the musical "The Prince of Egypt". It was so hot but it was a good play. The water effects at the end were especially cool and cooled down the amphitheater as well. We followed Grandma and Grandpa home and spent the night at their house.
Tuesday we went down to the street to watch the Paragonah Primary put on a little parade for Pioneer Day. The theme was Be Kind and the kids dressed up as bees. It was very cute.
After the parade, we went into the church for a program. The primary sang and the DUP had a trivia game about Utah facts. Grandma Jenkins conducted the program.
The town had a pie auction and a pulled pork lunch, which we enjoyed before heading up to the cabin.
On Wednesday, we had a quiet, relaxing day at the cabin. The boys rode the ATVs and fished, Seth practiced archery (he taped a balloon to the target and popped it with an arrow), and watched the Hunger Game Series.
We spent Thursday heading up to the Salt Lake area. We popped in a Jacquelynn's as they headed off on a trip, then hung out on Temple Square with Lex. We got a tour of the Conference Center and checked out an art exhibit at the Church History Museum. The rest of the family rented bikes and pedaled around, while I hung out on Temple Square.
We went to the Nauvoo Cafe for dinner. We didn't love it, but Seth thought his drink we very Hulkish.
We tried to come up with something to do but everything closes really early.
We finally decided to go to Fats Cats to bowl. We played 2 games.
Friday morning we picked up Lex from the Upchurch's house, where she is staying temporarily, and drove out to Barefoot Tubing. The took us in a bus up the Weber River and we spent about an hour and a half floating down. Only Dave fell out and he lost his hat. I was the slowest because I only paddle with one hand.
It was a fun activity, but very tiring. We went to lunch and had Lex show us Weber State, where she will be going to school this year. It is very pretty and green. We dropped her off and went to see where The Sandlot was filmed. It was in the middle of a neighborhood and was fenced off and unkept. It was pretty disappointing.
We had about an hour to clean up and rest at Jacquelynn's before we went to see a community theater production of Big. It was pretty cute and the lead was great. The big piano they made to dance on was pretty cool.
Saturday we picked up Cam, Sydney, and Tyler from EFY at BYU and headed home. We were sore and tired from being on the river the day before.
