A Wedding, the 4th, and St. George

This week we have mostly been in Utah. We were planning on driving down for Mandy's wedding on Monday but when we heard it was supposed to be 109 degrees and the earliest we could leave was 12:00 p.m. we decided that was a bad idea. We figured our cars are too old and our kids are too small to travel under such conditions. We opted to get up at 3:30 a.m. and head down for the wedding the next day. The Webbs were kind enough to watch our kids during the temple sealing and luncheon. Bless them! After the luncheon we picked up our kids and tried to rest before the reception. We then headed down to the reception in American Fork. All three of our kids gassed out and got a bit of a power nap. Piper had not taken a nap all day and even on the drive down she only slept for about 30 minutes. Amazingly all of our kids did really well and partied all night. Mandy and Cory looked so happy and in LOVE in the temple and looked like they had a blast at the reception.

For the 4th we went to the breakfast in Holladay and it was really good. The rest of the day we just kind of hung out. That night we lit some of our own fireworks and then went and watched the fireworks in Holladay. Gabby was scared of the fireworks at our house so we opted to leave her home with Papa. We also left Piper home because really if you have a choice to put your baby down and enjoy the fireworks you do (at least I do).

On Friday Scott and I were able to go to the temple together (thanks Nana and Papa) and have a quck lunch afterwards. That night we went to Chiles and had dessert with some of our good friends. Thanks Ethingtons and Webbs. Good times!

We headed down for our annual Cannon family vacation in St. George yesterday. We will be here for a week. We will be eating, swimming, eating, movie theater going, eating, card game playing, napping, eating, and more.

Good thing we drove down in the wee hours of the morning because our AC could not handle the super hot heat. Poor hot, sweaty, tired kids.
