Thousands of miles away, we are still able to stay close with our best friends from Ogden. When Rachel and Richard heard we were coming to St. George for a few days, they spread the word and drove down from Ogden along with Spencer and Rachel, Dave and Melissa, and Scott and Megan. Talk about great friends! We only spent a day together but it was so, so nice. I remember when we first moved into our married student ward, a member of the bishopric talked in sacrament about how we would make lifelong friends while attending the ward. I remember distinctly thinking that there was no way, because Sam and I had been there a couple of months and felt so awkward and out of place. A year later, and we had made such great friends that I am sure we will be close with throughout our lives.
After Cafe Rio, we headed to the neatest park. It's full of lots of spinning/sliding toys that I am pretty sure adults enjoy as much as the kids (at least us adults)
Then headed to Menchies for some frozen yogurt
And ended the day at Richard's parent's house for some Around-the World ping pong - definitely one of our favorite games!
The girls (minus Rachel Coleman, who had to take off early)
The boys (minus Spencer)
Saying our good-byes... it was a bittersweet car ride home! It was so great to see our friends again, and at the same time so sad to say good bye. We are very grateful to have such wonderful friends.
