We had a good time in St. George. It was fun to see the changes in the city since we left. I figured out that I lived there for a little over 4 years. Rylie really wanted to see the temple that mom and dad got married in so we took her by, unfortunately there was a huge wind storm that day so we couldn't get out to take pictures. I love this temple though. It's my favorite, not only because it's where I got married, I just think its really cute and small and sweet. The floor creeks when you walk through the celestial room. We lived about 2 blocks from it and when Rylie was a baby we spent hours and hours AND HOURS walking around the temple grounds and surrounding neighborhoods because she would not stop crying. St. George has some bitter sweet memories for us.
The real reason why we went down was because my dad runs the marathon every year. This was his 9th year running this marathon and probably his 25th marathon all together. He's insane. But it is a tradition every year I go down and massage him and his buddies who run with him. This year my whole family got to come. My sister had just gotten home from her mission in Kirkland Ohio the day before so it was fun to have everyone there.
This is my parents house that I lived in before I got married. We had to go back to see it. We actually got to walk through the house and see the basement since they had finished it. Its actually a foreclosure so If anyone is interested in a 7 bedroom house with a 2500 sq foot 2 bed 2 bath basement apartment and theater room, you can buy it!
While the boys went to priesthood, the girls went shopping and to dinner. Davis ate 2 lemon wedges at dinner, I don't know why.
All and all it was a really fun weekend. Aside from no sleep and tired kids it was really fun to see my family.
