St. George Weekend

Chris and I sent Maggie and Allie off to one set of cousins and Cooper off to another set and off we went with our good friends, Scott and Amie, to St. George. It was actually Scott and Amie's 10th Anniversary. We always have so much fun with them. It was quite the adventure to go on a trip without the use of a credit or debit card, so we did it the old-fashioned way: cash only. What a novel idea?! Amie and I rode in the back and watched "House Boat," a Cary Grant movie. We had fun catching up on each other's lives and Chris and Scott had fun shootin' the bull. They talked most of the trip with some type of accent--mostly Nacho Libre style Spanish. We barbequed both nights because it was so relaxing instead of going out to restaurants. We went to the St George temple Saturday morning. Scott and Amie were married there, so it was especially nice for them to go. (We did have to make a detour to Kmart to buy Chris a white shirt and tie, because I forgot to pack them.) After the temple, Scott and Chris went golfing and Amie and I went shopping--especially for a purse since I didn't have one any more. The problem was: Chris had all of the money and I had to go back and get some from him. I felt like I was getting an allowance. Swimming, ping pong, hot tubbing, movie watching, book reading, basketball watching, and talking were all part of the great weekend. All in all, it was a fantastic and relaxing trip and the kids had a lot of fun with their cousins--like always!
