Fun Friday

Merril was working his tail off at rampage and couldn't join us but we had a nice day! Jack and I started the day doing initiatory work at the temple.

After we got home, I was thinking about the weather. A big storm is rolling in Saturday afternoon and the weather has been so warm but not anymore. Rainy and 60s for most of next week. I wanted to hit the lake while it was still warm and started hatching plans. Maxine needed to go earlier in the afternoon so I made some grub and we headed out. I don't have any pictures but we brought a frisbee and wiffle ball. The girls and Mark played wiffle ball before Jack got there. We inflated some tubes and Maxine and I floated in the lake. Then Jack arrived from work and started to play frisbee with Mark. It turned into a wrestling/drowning match. We all ended up playing frisbee in the water. Some of us didn't get too wet. Then we heated up the bbq chicken sandwiches and while we were hanging out, Maxine noticed a stick bug. 

I really thought the wind would kick up in the afternoon but it was so calm. 

Then Maxine left and we took a picture before going home.

The lake was wonderful and that might be the last warm day on the year. If it is, we'll say goodbye to the lake until next year. 

Lovesac Party

The Lovesac party was so perfectly timed this year, the same day as Juliet's Provo MTC start date! After we dropped off Juliet and went to the temple, we headed to Salt Lake for the party. It was 80s rock band themed. We thought it was just 80s theme. We thought Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World would be easy to pull off. 

Carson and Brooke came this year. 

The dinner was lovely and the band was rocking! The Nelson 6 killed it. Pepper Nelson played a killer guitar solo on Sweet Child of Mine. Then Rick Springfield (Jessie's Girl) played. I didn't really know any of his other songs. He only played 4 or 5 songs. But Jesse's Girl was great and Rick Springfield is 77 years old and we felt he did a great job and looked awesome!

We weren't finished yet though. After the party, Merril drove us to Panguitch and we stayed in a little cabin. Merril immediately drove to set up a radio repeater. I slept. The next morning we woke up and ate breakfast and went for a hike. Then we took down the radio repeater and drove home. No pictures of any of that. We've been so busy with missionaries that it was so nice to spend time with Merril!
