The Finaus came to town Saturday evening! Manase had an emergency appendectomy Thursday night, but was tough enough to want to be in a car 4 hours to come visit us. We must be pretty amazing for him to want to do that...Saturday night we dropped all 3 kids off at the Bates' house so the adults could go to Buffalo Wild Wings in Idaho Falls. It was fun! The Finaus went to Sacrament meeting with us Sunday morning, then left Oliviana with us while Kristen and Manase went back to our house to relax. We just hung out Sunday, ate rolls, bratwurst, potatoes, and peach cobbler for dinner (it was raining so we couldn't go for a cookout, which was our original plan). Kristen brought a craft project idea she found in Family Fun, and helped Lauren and Oliviana with it.
(Emma had to go to a fireside about the law of chastity and pornography, which she admitted she had no idea what either of those things were...I just tell her not to touch boys and don't let boys touch her...the rest will be taught on a "need to know" basis.) We played Connect Four, Farkle and Blokus together and saw a side of Nase we haven't seen before, which was pretty fun. 
Monday we had a quick visit from a friend from our mission, Ron Richins. He's a landscape photographer and likes to come up this way to take pictures in Yellowstone and the Tetons. It was really fun to see him. While he was here, Kristen, Nase, Oliviana and Lauren went to the clubhouse and played around. Later we went to Craigos for lunch, then to Fat Cats and played arcade games and let the girls cash out their tickets for a bunch of crap that I'll just have to throw away. 
The Finaus left for home after that and we went to see "Prom" at the cheap theater. Don't make the same mistake we did! That movie was so boring and stupid! Even for a tween movie. Don't waste your time.
