So we went to Utah this weekend to visit Kristen and her family, as well as Jane and her family. I'm going crazy in Rexburg. Sometimes I need to get out of here and clear my head. It's so ugly and cold here and I needed to go south for some warmer temperatures. We had a great weekend. The girls played on the Luke's trampoline non-stop, and I laughed my butt off at Jane's house. We stayed the first night at Kristen's. We were able to watch the first 3 episodes of Survivor on Kristen's high-speed internet, since we have Dish and Dish Network is in a dispute with Fisher Broadcasting, so we no longer receive CBS. (We've been missing Survivor and it's been traumatizing for us. We realized on the drive down to Utah that Landon has cable TV at school and we can start recording Survivor every Thursday at his school and watch it on Friday at home.) We had fun playing with Oliviana and visiting with Kristen and Manase Friday night. Saturday we went to the Orem mall with Kristen and Oliviana (Nase had a rugby tournament in St. George) and met Jane and her kids there. The Lukes gave each of my kids a Build a Bear for their birthdays, so we were able to do that while we were at the mall. We made it back to Jane's house and just hung out and talked and laughed while the kids played. Landon went back to Kristen's and did some homework. Kristen, baby and Landon came back to Jane's house for dinner which was amazing! She made Cafe Rio pork tacos! We loved it so much, we stopped at Winco on our way back to Rexburg and bought a pork roast so we can make it at home. The drive home on Sunday was pretty uneventful, but we did stop at IKEA and enjoy a plate of meatballs before hitting the road.
IKEA is one of our favorite places to go. Eating meatballs is a big part of the joy.
Emma, sleeping off the fun.
Playing with Oliviana, Friday night.
Catching up on Survivor.
"Riding" a virtual-reality roller coaster ride at the arcade at the mall. It was super fun.

We stopped at the Draper Temple real quick to take a picture before hitting IKEA.
