The kids had some time off for "fall break" (second week of October) so we went up to St. George for a few days, just to visit family. The kids loved playing with the dogs, doing puzzles, messing up the basement. They especially liked going to the cabin to ride the 4-wheeler and to just hang out. My mom and Michael were also able to come down for the visit! My mom got a massage with me at Zion Massage school. Unfortunately, my masseuse wasn't very good, and her breath was rank. After the massage Michael and also Makayla met us at Red Fort for Lunch. So yum! Their butter chicken is the best ever, but everything on their menu is delish. Then we went shopping at Ross where I found a glass piano figurine for myself, but other than that I didn't find anything. I don't completely remember the order of everything, thank goodness I take pictures, or I wouldn't remember much! Other highlights include Makayla buying us huge, delicious cookies from Dirty Dough, seeing Bryce's Halloween decorations, drawing on the driveway with chalk, eating at Red Lobster with Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma Julie and Uncle Michael, and seeing Mary Poppins at Tuacahn with Erik. That was my first time going there despite our many, many trips up to St. George. I was hoping to see Joseph, but it wasn't playing the night we were there, but I was happy to see Mary Poppins anyway--it was really good! On Sunday we went to first hour of church where the speaker also performed the special musical number (which I thought was strange, especially since the music didn't have much to do with the song--at least I didn't recognize it. We left on Monday, since the kids had school Tuesday and Erik had work.
Pictures taken October 8th (Saturday):
Grandma always has puzzles ready for the kids to put together when we visit.
I went to visit Minnie. I picked her up and was reminded of why I decided to give her away. Yikes. What a spaz.
The kids (and me!) enjoyed decorating the driveway with Halloween chalk drawings
Ian in front of one of Bryce's many impressive Halloween decorations!
Makayla, My mom, and the box of yummy cookies!
The moon over the butte near Tuacahn. It was much prettier and impressive in person.
I snuck a few pictures of the Mary Poppins Play.

We went for 1 hour of church. They kids were ready to get outta there. They could not be convinced to stay for the next hour. We walked home, which wasn't the best idea for me, wearing my heels.
Ian had fun playing Hi Jack with dad
Playing St. Georgopoly with Dad! Ian loves playing board games!
October 10 (Monday). A few more fun things before we left to go home:
Cute Lea!
Lunch with everyone (minus Bryce and Makayla) at Red Lobster before we hit the road
The chalk drawings were very creative! Ian looks tiny under the giant werewolf. Everyone seemed to like the dirty dough cookies. Glad you finally went to a Tuacahn show. Next summer we should get tickets ahead of when you'll be here. We could try to spend a little longer at the cabin since the kids like to go there. Ian has really enjoyed playing games and making up games.
