This past summer, we were able to stay with Grandma & Grandpa
Dimond in their St. George Condo for a few nights! Pictures are in somewhat random order- but here is a picture on the Sunday we attended church down there!
Mom & Dad are always such excellent and gracious hosts!
The boys were so cute tucking in for the night on the couches!
Enjoying the beautiful open greens behind their condo...
Kennedy taking a picture of me &
Mikelle!
Of course we had to allow time to check out the ROSS store and other shopping down there!
We told our former neighbors the
Becksteads that we were going to look them up and come and visit! We followed up on our promise and it was so good to see them!
Oops-double the fun with the twins same picture:)!
They love to tease each other!
...and golf together on the greens!
Cam practicing his swing!
Ready for the match!
Ready to head over to the pool!
We usually had the pool all to ourselves!
Good job Cam!
Christian the daredevil!
Lifeguards on duty!
Mom & Dad took us to the Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm!
Daddy Daughter Date!
It was so interesting and fascinating to see what was "right under the surface" when things were discovered by accident.
Kennedy trying to show off her dinosaur teeth too!
...and trying to scare us!
Some of the cool discoveries! What a fun place to visit and learn about! Not pictured is the trip to the Golden Corral buffet after this:).
To re-pay Mom & Dad for letting us stay with them, we treated to a night at
Tuacahn! We have never been (and have been trying to get there for many years), so we finally just did it!
One of this year's productions was Tarzan!
Pre-show pictures...
...and more pictures!
Mama D and Grandpa have been to shows there before so they had arranged the seating on where we could catch a little canyon breeze coming through the outdoor theater etc. It was nice that they already knew the ropes!
Group picture before it starts!
The waterfall area behind the outdoor stage...looks so serene at first look...but it provides the water source to flood the stage for needed parts of the production! I should have tried to get pictures of the set or the flying/trapeze/ropes that were used throughout the production as it was amazing! They announced while we were there that Disney had just given a few theaters the rights to do Little Mermaid next season, and
Tuacahn was one--so we will be back for that!
We were able to greet a few of the characters afterward! They were all amazing! What a great weekend! Thanks Mom & Dad
Dimond!
Our Orthodontist held his customer appreciation day the same night as Desiree's reception... so after visiting with the Crystals, we were off... back down to the Lindon Aquatic Center for more fun! Here is Dr. Arnold in the Dunk Tank!
He was letting all of his patients "have at him!"
We may have had a stow-a-way or two with us for the evening...so we all went and partied!
Christian tries the flow-rider/surfing machine!
Looking good!
He made it on his knees to knee-board!
Dr. Arnold went for the water-ski!
The waves were pretty powerful!
Cameron's turn!
Doing great!
The surf kept sweeping the kids to the edge though!
Mikelle getting her instructions...
Whoa! The "riptide" sweeps her up immediately!
She gets another chance!
Way to rock it Dell!
We had a great time and fit so much in to 1-2 hours!:) Thanks Dr. Arnold! Hopefully the $20,000 in braces we will be spending over the next several years will help pay for the party!:)
