June 16, 2011 Quick Visit from Lindsey and Carlton

Celebrating their one year anniversary by eating a piece of their wedding cake.
(We had kept it for a year in our freezer!)

Andrew and Carlton went for mountain bike ride and then a road bike ride! Animals!

We went out to the lake with the kids and Carlton's parents and brother Spencer.
We all had a great time sailing!

Lindsey and Carlton pack up their Toyota before heading out on the 36 hour road trip back to Philly. They spent the first night in Colby, Kansas and the next night in Springfield, Illinois.
They attended church in Pittsburgh, PA before arriving home Sunday evening.
Gratefully, everything went well for them.

Carlton and Lindsey needed to get a car and take it back to Philadelphia. They have been living one block from Campus and one block from their LDS church so they have gotten by a year without having a car. Now that they are expecting a baby and are moving farther out of the city they will need a car. Carlton's parents have been wonderfully kind to give them their Toyota sedan. The kids had a week break so they flew into Las Vegas late Tuesday night. We picked them up and arrived back to St. George at 4:00 am.

After sleeping in a bit we were up and ready to enjoy our two days with them. We started off with a delicious waffle breakfast and had the Taylor's over to join us. Next we packed up and went to Sand Hollow to enjoy the sun and sailing. We came home and cleaned up and then went to the Taylor's condo for a Delicious Indian meal. We enjoyed a nice evening of visiting and playing games.

The next day we sent the boys off to Bloomington Loop to mountain bike and the ladies did some shopping. We helped Lindsey find a few maternity clothes and picked out some material for some baby quilts. Later we had the Taylors in for shishkabobs. We had an indoor barbeque as it was too hot to enjoy eating out doors. We played some games and packed up their car.. Two days just wasn't enough time when they live so far away; but we were glad to know that they will be returning for a longer visit in August.

Our nephew Richard stopped by for a short visit. He interviewed today for a teaching position at Dixie State College. He is just completing his PHD in Physics. Great two days of family.
