We Love Visitors

This past weekend, we had a full house! Adam, Megan, Hayden and Lila arrived Thursday night from Arizona. Friday morning I left with them to go to St. George to meet the rest of the A* family. It was UEA break for all the students in Utah, so we decided to have a mini-family reunion. Poor Josh had to stay in Vegas for school!

After meeting up with the rest of the A*s, (Kes, Jana, Janessa, Aaron, Emily, Wayne, Kaden, Maura, and Gavin), we all went to Zions National Park. It is a A* Family Tradition to go there at least once a year. I wasn't able to go on hikes/walks, but I rode the Tram all around the park. Jana was sweet enough to sit with me so I didn't have to be all alone. It was nice to get out of the house.

After Zions, we checked into our hotel room and crashed! Saturday morning EVERYONE came to my house to see Josh. How my house seemed REALLY, REALLY small! Saturday night we all went swimming at Kes and Jana's hotel near by our house. The kids loved the pool. It was too cold for me, but Josh loved it. He's so good to play with all the kids!!

Everyone packed up and headed home Sunday morning. It was so good to see everyone. Hopefully we'll see everyone again at Christmas!

Glad you had a fun visit! Nothing like a whole lotta family to make your place feel way too small. Glad you found our blog...small world, huh? By the way, dessert? Still on.

It was good for you to be able to spend some time with the Armstrongs, and to have a fun time.
Families are what makes life worthwhile. Love to you both. Grams

Thanks for being such great hosts. My kids think we should do it again in November. I say maybe not for a while and minus the Travellodge, but plus the Cliffs at Peace Canyon.
