We had a nice weekend this weekend, and for prosperity's sake I'm documenting it here (photo is out of the bedroom window where we are staying, Squaw Peak and the Mormon Temple):
Our UTAH weekend:
Saturday morning Emma & I picked Guy up at the airport. He was in SF on tax business :(
Saturday afternoon we went to "This is the Place Heritage Park" It's a nice place to go, lots of old buildings and demonstrations of the life from pioneer days. They had a free family fun day with 'train' rides, bouncy houses, demonstrations, free pizza and icecream, etc. Emma and we enjoyed it! side observation: Being Utah it was overwhelmingly white, but we did notice there were a lot of families there with adopted African-American children (oh, which brings me to the comment recently to an old post, I have a blog post about that coming in the next day or so :D).
Saturday evening: we went with DH's parents to their neighborhood picnic in celebration of their new pond/park. Amazing the scuttlebutt you hear at neighborhood gatherings :D
Sunday Morning: DH and Emma went to church with the grandparents. I stayed home and did laundry.
Sunday Afternoon: Lazy day. Emma and I did some Hogwarts activities, a bit of 'homeschool' (Because she actually wanted to!!), watched a show or two. Then we took her out and taught her to ride a bike (getting there), then we went and played "Hogwarts Go Fish" with grandma.
Sunday Evening: DH and I went with his brother, SIL and 24yo nephew to Salt Lake City to eat a picnic dinner and see "Saturday's Voyeur" A musical satire of Utah politics and and culture (read: the Mormon church). It was quite entertaining though I only have some knowledge of Utah politics. Senator Buttars though is just easy to write a satire on!! Emma had a sleep over with Grandpa and Grandma and Suzie (their dog) which she was very excited about.
All and all a very nice and very Utah weekend!
