We did, in fact, have a weekend worth reporting on.
Sarah, Aaron and family stopped in Cedar City on Thursday night in-route to a family reunion in St. George. Daniel was flying solo with the kids, so he came down from Provo as well. I had to join up late because I was in Grand Rapids, MI, on a tour of Steelcase University. It was a great experience, but that is not what I wanted to talk about in the blog.
On Friday morning, Bean, Dan and I played some early golf at Cedar Ridge. It was blowing like crazy, but we still managed to have fun. Sarah and family went on to their reunion and other activities and I went in to work. Daniel and the kids went home to hang and take naps, etc. On Friday afternoon, Bubby and I drove over to Bryce Canyon and stayed overnight at the new Best Western Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel (Ruby's latest offering). We stopped and had dinner and pie at the Bryce Canyon Pines restaurant, which always makes us happy.
On Saturday, we rose early and drove to Escalante for their annual Heritage Festival. We were there in time for the flag raising, 21 gun salute, and honoring of veterans. We also joined the locals at breakfast in the park.
We drove up to the site of the new Heritage Center, located just east of town (south of the Cemetery), and looked at progress on the site (that is the foundation for the restrooms. We also visited the cemetery and just visited (lots of nice people hanging around) and looked for people who we know. We finally found our way to the high school were there was a craft fair, a video presentation about cowboying on the 50 Mile mountain (starring Quinn and Grandpa Griffin). We got to participate in the presentation about phase two of the Heritage Center, as well. There were many more activities planned, but Bubb and I headed toward home at about 1:00 PM. We got there around four, in time to mow and edge and fuss in the garden a bit (Drewfy helped me plant the pole beans). We went to dinner at Wendy's with Dan and the kids.
On Sunday I taught Sunday School (Ruth and Naomi), and we had lunch at Dan's house. I had one more family to home teach, so we caught them and they gave us some really cool sandstone concretions to investigate. I might blog about them later.
On Monday, we worked on the garden in earnest. I got everything planted that we had, and we even found time to get a few more items from Ladybug Nursery. Sarah and fam were back in Cedar for lunch and a romp outside (beautiful day) and Dan and fam joined us. By 2:00 PM, everyone had headed toward home. All in all, a great weekend.
