This trip we were able to get flights out of St. George.
That is so convenient and easy.
We arrived about 2:00 pm and by 2:45 we were all bundled up in Shannon's car and
headed to the lot of our future home.
It was WINDY and so COLD.
So the little strip of sidewalk is where our house will be facing the street.
Where they are all headed is the back of our lot. It looks huge.
Eventually there will house all around this plot of ground.
Here's some film footage. I don't know if it will work.
We got back to the house and opened the gifts we had for them and they for us.
Shannon and Corinne have both been stitching this stocking for Fred for a few years.
A very sweet gift from them.
Shannon made this birthday board for me.
She will bring it to me the next time they drive to our place.
It was too big to pack.
Shannon also had our future home rendered and then printed so she could frame it for Fred.
She also updated my grandchildren ornaments.
Here are Scott's and Shannon's kiddos.
Here are Corinne's family. I'm happy to have one of everyone now.
On Thursday we took the kids to Freddy's for lunch and the dollar store for shopping.
In the afternoon we drove to Hammond's for a candy factory tour.
We got to see them making candy.
Since I work in a manufacturing factory, I can appreciate this view better.
After the tour some candy was purchased and eaten.
This is our Friday.
I wanted to get a picture of M in her wings and things.
M was my seat partner in the car.
B was all the way in the back.
We drove around in their 4 Runner. It has a third row seat.
Another trip to the lot and to check out the community center.
It's high class.
This is looking out from the restaurant.
This is the restaurant.
Kind of a reception area with a BIG warm fireplace.
We think we can get used to this.
Also a pool, hot tub, weight room and another pool being built.
Friday afternoon Shannon arranged for a babysitter and we went to the temple.
This is the only picture I took on Saturday.
Today we all went to the Dinner/Theatre to see the Star Wars movie.
Nice reclining seats (super nice) and you can order food that is delivered to your seat.
I enjoyed that. I even liked the movie.
Sunday M had the scripture and prayer in Primary.
I'm sure glad we could be there for that.
We don't get that opportunity with all the grandkids living so far away.
I just love this little face.
I love her eyebrows.
Gather round the food table!
The kids asked us to play Sorry with them.
They have their own set of rules.
Very ingenious.
This is just before it was time to go to the airport.
It was a great visit. Very cold there, but I can handle it as long as I dress right.
Layers will be the key.
Our return flight was supposed to be around 6:30pm.
It was delayed until 11:45 pm. Not a great way to end things, but it was still a short flight home and even a shorter ride home from the airport. So thankful we didn't get a flight out of Las Vegas.
