What Utah-kin about Willis?

We sure had a fun-filled week in Utah.  We went to Charles Edward Cheese's with cousins R and H!  JC and I, M, won an Airhead candy with all the tickets we won (not too many).  R and H took home a disco super ball with the tickets they won (a ridiculous amount).  Here we are pictured playing the water gun game.  JC is a bit better at target practice then I am...

Then it was off to the Legacy Indoor Aquatic Center.  Here's a video of my dad waiting for me to exit the slide.  He sure had to wait a long time...I wonder why?



Because the slide looked like this!  I did it all by myself, the first time required a donut bribe.  I had so much fun I did it again and again.  JC was given the same offer, but after his first try down the slide, he sat by the pool side mumbling about sprinkles and chocolate while shivering in fear.
We went to a barbecue where we got to meet several of our cousins from all over, including the state of Louisiana.  That's where Tabasco sauce is made.

This was followed by a night on the town (i.e. a playground dinner date) with old friends from Ohio.  Look longtime readers, it's the tall pair of B and S and the blond pair of C and O.  What a happy coincidence.

How did we finish up our grand week?  By running a yard sale, of course!  We didn't work for free, we were given In-n-Out as payment.  I was feeling a bit constipated so I was disappointed when the burger didn't work as advertised by the restaurant name.  I guess it's back to flax seed sprinkled on All-Bran for me!


And, yes, JC wore his flannel dog pajamas the whole day despite temperatures in the 90s - that is what we call a dry heat, Easterners!

So glad you got to meet up with some old Ohioans in Utah! Sorry the In-N-Out didn't work for ya.

Ok, so maybe I should start sharing plans w/ friends... We (kids & I) purchased last minute tickets & were in UT 5/31 - 6/12. Can't believe I missed you guys! Now I'm really feeling nostalgic...

What family did this little SM come from? She has such her own look! You guys are so lucky that you still have family within a day's drive away, even out West in the glorious dry heat. :-)
