Sizzling Summer Fun

In mid-June, Cami and I traveled to Utah. We spent a night with Elly and family. The highlight of the visit was a walk through the neighborhood with Elly, Nathan, Matthew, Maggie and Becca. What a wild and crazy bunch of grand kids! I loved every minute.

Cami stayed with Elly while I embarked on an adventure with my mother and two sisters to St. George, Utah. Sister Margy, who had planned the event, was our trusty chauffeur. The drive down was long but passed quickly as we jabbered non-stop. We spent a couple of days doing what girls like to do most. We did some sight-seeing (but with temps at 105 degrees, we only saw the tabernacle before we decided it was too hot for much more).

We went to the theater, the Tuacahn Theater, and watched Les Miserables. We were impressed by the spectacular red rock cliffs surrounding the theater.

Although it was a little on the warm side, we really enjoyed the play.

We had manicures and pedicures at the salon. We got a little carried away in the salon's meditation room laughing and giggling as we were trying to take pictures. Luckily no one was trying to meditate.

Of course, we went shopping. We took in a movie, Get Smart, and laughed till our sides were about to split. We ate lots of great food. We even tried on our socks (a gift from Margy) and had a photo shoot.

We had such a great time together. I hope we can do it again in the not-too-distant future!

Surprisingly, Cami got some much needed R&R in spite of all the attention from her nieces and nephews. We both agreed that it had been just the vacation we had been hoping for.
