Sidetracked in Cedar City

So if I ever write my autobiography I could reuse that title for my chapter about the two years of my life I spent in Cedar City, Utah but for today it will serve another purpose.

We left CA early Saturday morning and plowed straight through to Cedar City (Enoch actually) so that we could spend some time with Seth's brother, Brody and his family. We had planned to go 4 wheeling when we got there but it was raining on and off. We briefly discussed heading over to hang out at the Shakespeare Festival but the kids were so happy to be out of the car and running with their cousins so we just hung out instead. Our kids had a blast and we enjoyed chatting over the Olympics. Can you tell we are big fans of the Olympics?

Thanks so much for having us Brody and Helen! It had been way too long since we had been in your neck of the woods.

I mentioned that we had to cancel our big 4 wheeling plans but I had to laugh when I saw Seth and Brody take off to pick up pizza on the 4 wheeler. Gotta love small town life.

Alyssa was so excited to find someone to play her new Hunger Games board game with her. Her and Kayla were up playing and hanging out until past midnight.

Chloe and Rachel were instant BFF's. They are 5 days apart and they got along perfectly.

I couldn't get the boys to hold still for a picture so I just snapped a few of them in their natural element. They were making the poor dog put on a show.

We went in to meet the goats and sheep but they would hurdle each other and knock the whole place over to get away from us. Oh well.

Alex lost his 3rd tooth that night. He actually collided with Luke in CA and one corner of his tooth came detached. The rest was holding tight but it looked awful so Seth told him that the tooth fairy pays double on vacation and 2 seconds later Alex had the thing out. He has now lost the one right under it as well so we are up to 4 teeth lost.

Just heard Enoch got horrible rain and mud floods last night. I hope Brody and Helen are okay. Looks like you had a great time with them - probably a whole lot more fun for the kids than being drug up to the Shakespeare Festival which really doesn't have too much going on until evening unless you have tickets to the shows. I didn't realize how close in age your and Brody's youngest are. What a fun trip.

Looks like a fun stop. I'm sure Chloe was in heaven to play with another little girl who loves to dress up as much as her. Ha, Alex looks funny with the doggy w/the underbite. Glad to see him finally losin' those teeth. Keep 'em coming, Alex!
