We were graciously offered their bed for the night, however, it comes with some conditions. We had nocturnal visits from Lydia (whose Daddy whisked her away as soon as she was discovered) and Maggie (who spent a good part of the night glued to my back). The events reminded us of the good old days when Sarah and Daniel used to wander the house all night and be found nearly anywhere, but most often in bed with us.
Friday was a teacher contract day for the kids, so to make things interesting, Babs decided to have a Smurfalicious holiday.
This was the breakfast fare. Note the blue milk and Smurfy action figure.
Of course all of the kids were appropriately dressed in serious "blueness". M' Chee is diggin' the concept.
Maggie was loving the pink cream cheese on her chocolate chip bagel (Ewwww!).
Pretty Kate was very festive and one of the prime agitators for a major celebration on this particular day.
While I attended my meeting, Bubby and kids were on the town. They went to Toys 'R Us and who knows where else. I joined them at the Olive Garden for lunch once I finished my meeting. That was a hard decision, a box lunch provided by Salt Lake Community College or some soup, salad and a bread stick from the Garden.
We had to rush home to Cedar City so that Bubby could attend the soiree associated with Cedar City Music Arts and the performance of the Utah Symphony. We left Smurfish activities behind (I think a cartoon marathon was planned) and raced home.
Bubby was resplendent in new soiree wear and while she did her thing, I picked the garden (still going crazy) and did some other chores. We had decided that even though we were headed to the condo for conference weekend, we would wait and leave on Saturday morning.
We got to St. George in time to have breakfast at our new favorite (the Golden Corral breakfast offering on the weekends is awesome!), and had a meeting with our investment councilor. The meeting caused us to miss the first session of General Conference, but we recorded it at home.
We had a wonderful weekend in St. George. It was beautiful, and we just enjoyed the trouble free nature of staying at the condo. I missed having someone to attend priesthood session with, but afterward, we hooked up with the Englesteads and made a trip to Kraves for some frozen goodness.
On Monday evening, a neighbor couple who had been appraised of our quest for the ultimate fish taco in San Diego invited the Englestead's and Bubby and Poppy to try their version. Pictured above is their offering which tasted pretty darned good. They used frozen tilapia from Costco, and their secret sauce was great. We had a wonderful evening together talking about travel and Triple D locations we have visited.
Bubb insisted on this shot, although I can't think of less attractive face to have to end this post with.
