From Oregon to St. George and back Part 2

So we were scheduled to get back from Oregon Wed. late afternoon, early evening. Well various things happened to keep us in Oregon longer so we didn't get to Idaho until late. We had trouble with getting our certificate to pull the trailer, we broke the connector that keeps the light on the trailer so people can see our brake lights etc. So needless to say it was about 8 when we got to Boise. We were trying to make it back by midnight but that plan was delayed when we found ourselves on the way to Pocatello! I know. If I could ever get it right and just make it from Boise to Ogden and back without so many detours! Well it was dark and rainy and there was construction, those are my reasons and I am sticking to it. We ended up spending one more night in the motor home at a rest area. We woke up the next morning and made it back to Ogden where we quickly unloaded and packed up for St. George. We went from chilly and humid to hot and dry! We finally got the motorhome dropped off by about 6pm then we headed to Saratoga Springs to pick up my favorite Tayler and Bailee. We picked them up and then stopped at Costco and grabbed some pizza. We tried to order domino's but it would take them 40 minutes! We ate on the road and made it to St. George by midnight. We got settled in and to bed just before 1am. The next morning everyone slept in. Ryan and I got up around 9-9:30. Some of the girls got up around 10 but Ali slept until 11! We all had yummy pancakes and then everyone got ready to go to the pool. I needed a swim suit so Tayler and I headed first to TJ Maxx. This was Tayler's favorite discovery! We had lots of fun trying stuff on. I found a swim suit and we were back to the townhome. We fried ourselves good that first day! I think Tayler easily reached her goal to come back tan or at least with color.
That night was a shower for Audrey. It was fun to meet a couple of her Aunts, see her Grandma Hansen and meet 2 of her friends she knew from Illinois. We had fun just chatting and eating yummy Strawberry pie from Village Inn. After they left Ryan and the kids came back and we had a party. Don't tell dad but we blew bubbles with a little bubble machine.



Sprayed Silly String.



And Danced to Tayler Swift



Then we watched the spy next door

What an eventful Friday we had!
Saturday Ryan and I went with Mom and Dad (Wachter) to the St. George Temple where we were able to be apart of Audrey Hansens special day as she went through the temple for her first time. It was awesome! What a beautiful temple and what a wonderful place to be with family and friends. Afterwards we went to Sills for some delicious lunch. It was great. Then Ryan and Dad went golfing with Eric and John Hansen, Mom and Yvonne Hansen went and ate ice cream and talked while the rest of us were suppose to go shopping but the keys to the van were in Ryan's pocket out at the golf course. We did get in some last minute shopping though! Then we ate at this fun little yogurt shop called Yogurt Unique. You pay $0.38 per ounce and you can get as many flavors and toppings as you want. It was yummy. Ali provided evening entertainment to 3 couples there on a date. They got to here Al tell stories and play eye spy. I am sure it was quite funny for them.
Sunday we went to church where I saw a girl who use to be in our ward in South Ogden. Her name is Elyse Bernier and she lives in the same townhomes as my dad! What a small world!
