This is our third mother/daughter get together in four years. Many thanks to Alyssa, Allen, Brandon and Beau for taking over household chores and child care!! :) We enjoyed eating out without little ones present.
Candace, Gavin and Landon picked Tammy up at the airport on Saturday, Aug.8th. She was so looking forward to seeing the boys especially since she had not seen Landon yet. She had a great time playing with the boys.
Sunday Laura and I arrived in the late afternoon. It was great to see Tammy. Latter Angie LeCheminant came over to visit with us, well Tammy really. We had a great visit. Angie and Tammy's stories kept us in stitches!! Poor Beau several times came into the room but turned around and left saying there was too much estrogen for him to be present!! haha! Angie and Becki Charlton are Tammy's best friends from childhood and high school.
Monday we left for St. George and our much needed "getaway". We stopped in Cedar City at a park downtown for a little picnic. We arrived too early at St. G. for check-in at the condo so we went SHOPPING at the outlet stores. They had some good bargins. After we got settled into the condo we went out to Olive Garden for dinner. Great food and great company!! Tuesday morning we made appointment with Evans Beauty School for the afternoon to have manicures and pedicures. That was fun! SANTA even came in to have his beard trimmed!! No Joke!! He was very particular how it was trimmed. He came in streeet clothes but had a picture in his wallet of him in Santa Suit. He was a little shorter than I remembered! Tuesday evening we went to Tuachan Ampitheather to see Footloose - Great Show! We got back to the condo around midnight. Wednesday we went to the mall and hit several stores. It was around 2:30 before we broke for lunch at In and Out. That evening we had a movie fest at the condo and picked up Pizza and bread sticks. That's what the girls wanted to watch a movie without children interrupting. We had a great time and another LATE night!
Thursday morning we left by 9 am and headed for Candaces'. I think she was ready to return to her home, Beau and the boys. When we got there, Beau looked like he needed some sleep. Poor guy had really been busy trying to work, watch 2 little boys and get their townhouse rented.
Laura, Tammy and I headed for Idaho and the final leg to our journey. Laura's kids were anxious to see her. Bryce, Shauna and their kids were all up to see Tammy. We all had a good visit. Tammy was so surprised how tall and grown up all the kids had gotten. Friday Tammy and I went to the BYU-I bookstore and I showed her around campus for awhile. Then she got a call from KC, Brandon's brother the hair stylist. He was ready to highlight Tammy's hair. We were there several hours. She had a good visit with KC - Stephanie came over to visit just as KC finished doing Tammy's hair. Wish I would have had my camera for all of this but forgot.
Friday evening was the Chester steak fry at the pavilion. Tammy got to see most of her Aunts and Uncles there and many old ward members.
Saturday Tammy got packed up for her return flight home and our trip back to Salt Lake. Laura, Alyssa, Lexi and I took Tammy back to SL. We stayed at the Hilton/Airport. We had a nice stay and Candace and her family came up to go swimming and visit one more time with Tammy. We all left saying we want to plan another one next year and find a new location. Let's work on that.!! LOVE YOU Girls! :) Thanks for a GREAT TIME!!
Here we are at the entrance to Tuachan Ampitheater! This was Laura and Tammy's first visit to Tuachan. We saw Footloose- great show and music!! :) The lead actor "Ren" was played by a Utah boy that was on "So you Think you can Dance". He did very well!! LOVE the outdoor
Theater!!
This had to be intermission! :) It was getting late and we were tired and silly!!
The girls were making silly faces and intertaining everyone.
Here we are at Evans Beauty School in St. George. We made an appointment for all of us the get manicures and pedicures. It was a very relaxing afternoon with some pampering!!
