Mandapalooza: February 2009

The first was a trip to St. George with my parents and sister. Tony couldn't go so that was too bad. We had a great time though, we started at Mt. Pleasent (I know it sound like a creepy town) to visit my aunt Sharon and uncle Monty, while we were there my cousin Heather came down to visit her parents so we got to see her as well. We thought we would check out the local town life, so we went to the ONLY bowling alley in ephrim (don't know if I spelled that right). It felt like we went back into the 1950's. We had to keep our own score and had to hit a button to reset the pins. We had a blast though and Whitney learned how to actually score a bowling game. She also got mad at me because I wouldn't let her use a caculater to keep score! She hates me when I make her do math!! After bowling and Mt pleasent we headed to St. George, but first we had to make a pit stop and get some goodies! We stopped at the local Walmart and ran into my mom's cousin Janell. It was fun to see her. My grandparents on my dad's side live in St. George so that is why we were making the trip down. It was my grandpa's birthday, and we just wanted to get out of town! It was so much fun to see them, they are so cute. We listened to my grandpa's stories about getting out of speeding tickets. It was hilarious, my grandpa is a little speed demon. While we were down there my aunt mel and uncle jeff and their kids also happended to be down there so we got to see the too. My cousin Jordan wants to be a pilot and had to take this test, which he scored very high on. He is such a smart kid. I hope he goes far with it! The last night we were there my grandma and grandpa Whitney ended up in St. George on their way home from San Diego. They were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! My grandparents came over to our hotel to try and find us. They drove right past Whitney and I even though we were waving our arms and in swimming suits. Finally we caught up with them at their hotel, and chatted with them about their little vacation. On our last day we went back to my grandparents house and decided that while the boys were going to play cribbage, the girls were going shopping. We had fun and I think we all got something. Then it was finally time to come home, but to make it a trip we would definately remember, my dad hit a dog while it was trying to cross three lanes of traffic on the freeway. We were in the far left lane and there was nothing he could do. He felt so bad, and Whitney cried. Oh and I forgot to get any pictures with my grandparents which I am so mad about!

AND THEN........

Ok so that was one story, now here is the next!! BOWLING FUN with both the HUFFS and the MCFALLS! It was so long ago now that I don't even remember what day it was on, OOPS! However, Tony and I decided that we wanted to do a big bowling party with everyone so we got it all planed out. It was a lot of fun, the kids had a blast. It was their first time ever bowling. They did very good they even bowled higher that their grandpa huff! Which they loved. The only problem with the night was the music was insanely loud, we couldn't even hear each other talk but here are some pics
