honeymoon part tres

After we left California Thursday we drove to St. George but of course stopped in Las Vegas on the way. I don't like Vegas so I'm glad it was just for a few hours :) 

We stayed with Kevs friends Brandon and Elyssa Caplain in their cute little condo and played games all night long...literally. It was a lot of fun.

The next day we met up with my fam at the house we rented, we went swimming in its pool, went to dinner at the super cute and delicious 25 Main, then off to see Tuacahn's Little Mermaid.

Saturday we went cliff jumping at Sand Hollow with a few of my brother inlaws, it was tons of fun and so warm. I love swimming in St. George.

(and I cannot get this dang picture to move to the center, so its staying here lookin ugly)

haha Kevin looks like a fake Ken doll in this one.

  It was a fantastic honeymoon that we desperately needed. And has now convinced Kev and I that we are moving to California someday. Until then...

Honeymoon. Part 2

Our second day we went to Newport Beach it was a little bit overcast but still a ton of fun.We ended meeting up with my sister and her little family who were on vacation that week too.

We rented boogie boards from one of the beach shops and they were so fun!

  It was my first time ever going Boogie Boarding and it definitely made swimming in the ocean 10 times better. It made me want to be a surfer.

 

 Shalece loved catching sand crabs in the sand after the waves would wash away. I thought they were gross.

The cute lifeguard.

Someday we are going to boogie board in Hawaii.

Honeymoon. Part 1

So...Our honey moon was a little bit untradional. First of all we waited 2 weeks to go on it, then spent a half day with my sister and her little family at the beach in california, and then while we were coming home we stopped in St. George and had a family vacation with my family....a little different then normal? Yes.

 But it turned out perfect.

So, here is a really rough breakdown of our honeymoon to wonderful Cali...in three parts.

 Our First night we went to the always fun Downtown Disney to get our feel of Disneyland while we were in Cali. It was fun to show Kevin around cause he had never been before. We ate some Mexican food, bought  churros, shopped around and watched the Disneyland firework show.
I sure love that place.

The next day we went to Huntington beach. It was so warm! We laid out got a little sun burned, I got pooped on by a bird, walked around the shops, and of course took some pics.

 There was a little street fair going on at Huntington beach, so we got to walk around the fun tents and shop.

 That night we went to Santa Monica Pier. We rode on the Ferris Wheel, walked around the fun outdoor mall, and ate at delicious Johnny Rockets.

Farewell

So a group of us were lucky enough to be invited to Ririe Idaho the weekend of Kaite's farewell to spend time with Katie Jo and the Parker family before Katie left on her mission to Guatemala.

We had a blast, and the parker family were great hosts as always. We got to go boating at Ririe Dam (It was the first time I have ever gone tubing and it scared the crap out of me-and made me sore for days!), ate delicious greasy Big Jud hamburgers, enjoyed beautiful scenery, played glow in the dark volleyball, and listened to the amazing Katie Jo give her farewell speech at church.

She did such an amazing job and is going to be a Fantastic missionary.

We love and are are going to miss you Sister Katie Jo Parker.
