St. George Trip: May 2012

Last fall while we were at Tuacahn for "The Little Mermaid" they announced tickets were on sale for the "Brian Reagan" Concert for this weekend. He is the funniest and cleanest comedian ever... one you can take the kids to and not worry for a second about what might be said....so Dan ran out and bought tickets during intermission. We decided to take my parents for their Christmas present... and we had a blast!

 We stopped in Santaquin to meet them at the Dairy Queen by their house... nice "SEE-food" Dan....

 Several hours later after checking into our hotel we headed to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner... Courtney pretty much climbed into the barrel of peanuts...

 Grandma and Grandpa enjoying their dinner...

 We decided to try the "fried pickles"... I like pickles but these were way to salty for my taste...

 Then we headed over to Tuacahn... love this place!!! It is so beautiful and the weather was perfect!

 Sunday morning... Mothers Day... we headed to a local ward for Sacrament meeting... it was funny because the bishopric was greeting people as you came in. They got REALLY excited to see us and our KIDS. The second couselor said... "We've been fasting and praying for more youth!".... and Dan told him "Well, it worked for today!" So sad...

 After changing we started our trek back home... but of course had to run to the St. George temple first. This "Temple Challenge" is going to be fun!

 Our beautiful girls enjoying the beautiful weather!

 Kenna and Courtney saw this dinosaur in the parking lot of a gas station and wanted to stop for a photo shoot... of course Dan obliged... When we got to the hotel my parents asked "How did we beat you here?!"  

 The hotel we stayed at this trip.... can't believe that I forgot to take my camera to the pool yesterday for some shots of everyone... Courtney had a blast in the pool and the rest of us just soaked up the sun...

 We came home through Manti... I promise we are in this picture!!! Just left of center by the tree. This is the temple we were sealed in. My great-great-great-grandfather (probably a few more greats...) C.C.A. Christensen painted many of the murals in this temple. It holds great meaning for us...

 When we got to Payson my parents showed us where the new Payson temple is being built. This is our "Bonus #1" temple...

 We then stopped at what will be the new Provo Tabernacle temple. It too is under construction... "Bonus #2" temple.... luckily we found a really nice guy to take our picture here...

 We then headed to the Provo temple... found a nice girl from Texas to take this shot...

 And finally, we ended the trip by stopping at the Mount Timp temple... we found a nice lady with kids out on a walk to snap this one. This is turning into a great way to make new friends!!!

This was a really fun trip and we sure enjoyed our time with Grandma and Grandpa King. I think if they didn't already think we were "cuckoo-pants"... they do now!!! The new "Temple Challenge" total.....
