A Taste Of Summer


We just got back from a very busy 5 days of fun!Clay and I went to Mesquite for a few days to celebrate our anniversary.We left all the rainstorms here to go where it was hot and sunny!Even though it is in the desert it feels like a tropical place with the palm trees and their beautiful pool.So we just pretend!We spent our days by the pool relaxing.At night we tried our luck on our favorite penny slot machines.We are not big gamblers by any means but can play on $20 for about 2 hours and have a lot of fun!Of course eating is always a BIG part of our vacaction and there were plenty of choices.We then went to St.George to meet up with Shantel, Nate, Talan and Brittany.My parents were in Salt Lake taking care of my brothers kids so they gave us the use of their home.They live in a golf course community and it is beautiful.Their backyard has a pond and waterfall along with palm trees.It is always very relaxing to go there.We had fun watching Talan try the pool out which he loved.He is now walking everywhere and thought it was neat that he could walk all over because there are no stairs.Saturday night we had over my sister and brother who live there for a barbecue.My sweet mother had stocked the fridge with meat for the barbecue and had even made a potatoe salad for it.She truly is the best.Thanks Mom again for everything!We had such a nice time seeing everyone.
