Hangin out with the FAM in St. George

After my TRI everyone wanted to go out to breakfast. So we decided to head over to the "Bear Paw". There were about 16 in our group with all the kiddies, so we had to wait for a while for our table to be ready. While we were waiting, I took a walk with my niece's son Luke. The town square was across the street from the restruant, so we wandered around for awhile looking at all the interesting sites. Luke really liked this statue on the bench, he wanted to site by "Papa". What a cutie, I wish I lived closer so I could hang out with these cute kids.

This is Kandace and Ashely, waiting patiently for our table. Ashley had a touch of the flu, but wanted to hang out with us, so she toughed it out. What a sweetheart. Steve had his motorcycle in St. George and had his "Duo" rag on. Luke wanted to try on the "Duo" rag. I think he almost has the signal that the bikers give each other down. He would make a great biker someday! After breakfast we all headed out to Grandpa Leavitt's house in Diamond Valley to do some 4-wheeling. So this next picture is Elynn saying to Kandace "Kanzest you got holes in your pants". Elynn was quite worried for Kandace having holey pants. We did go shopping, but we didn't find any new pants for Kandace, maybe next time. So the day was perfect for a ride in the mountains. We took off from Grandpa's house and headed straight for our favorite spot in the hills. My cousin Sandy and her husband Jeff had a 4-wheeler too and we really enjoyed our afternoon of riding around.

Sandy and Jeff enjoying the beauty of the mountains.

Steve and me. I forgot I had my hat flipped backwards, it almost flew off my head. Steve had me do all the driving so he could stretch out his bad knee. so we both look like biker here.

Steve and Jeff. They learned while we were doing our TRI that they will both be having knee replacement within a few weeks of each other, They really were having some great chats the whole trip. Here is Sandy and me in our beautiful "Secret Spot". Sandy and Jeff enjoying the sunny day. Little did we know that why we were enjoying the sunshine Salt Lake was being hammered by a snow storm. Glad we missed it!

See how blue the sky was, we just kept going. We did finally have to turn around to head back in order for the guys to get ready to go to the preisthood session and the girls were having a "Girls Night Out" Austin arranged for a babysitter so we could all go to dinner and shopping.

This is where we ate dinner, "25 Main". It was delicous food, the price was great and the best part was there was a little Jazz band playing for us live, what a treat. After dinner we went out shopping and then because we had done a "Sugar Fast" for 3 weeks, we went to Cold Stone for Ice Cream. We really had such a wonderful time with our family, we only wish it could have lasted longer. We will have to plan another family outting soon. but at least we will have all the Leavitt's for Thanksgiving this year, so we can spend more quality time together and they can all do the "Human Race" with us on Thanksgiving Morning!!
