we spent the weekend at a cabin in pine valley with dave's family. the kids had a blast with their cousins, and it was refreshing to spend time with family.
we did a lot in a short amount of time. some of the highlights were the treasure hunt in the saw dust. dave used to do this as a kid. they really got into it. abe held his first flag ceremony, we carved pumpkins, had a talent show, and made movies--i love that dave's family can laugh so easily together. it is a great quality.
max -loving his finds.
we made t-shirts with masking tape and spray paint. an easy project that the kids loved.

we spent the last day in st. george by ourselves. we stayed in a hotel, swam, ate out, visited friends from medical school and of course, imagined if we could live there for the rest of our lives.
