Marathon of a weeked!






WOW...this was certainly a fast-paced weekend! Friday morning at 1 a.m. I picked up Aleena from the McDonald's parking lot where the Greyhound bus terminal is located...later I worked in Ancestor Square and Aleena and Dad popped by for lunch (thanks for the great tip!). Friday night we saw the awesome musical "Big River" at Tuachan. This was one of the best musical productions I've ever seen! This was also the very first musical that Torsten has seen and HE LOVED IT! He couldn't stop talking about it, even until the next morning. Do we have another Hawks dramatic actor in the mix? Heaven help us! Saturday we watched as Gail, second cousin to myself and first cousin to Dad, ran the St. George marathon. This was her 5th marathon this year! Then we went to a BBQ, saw Grandma Faye, ate free samples and shopped at Costco, and had lots of fun with Ryan, Megan, and the nephews at Jumpin' Jacks...a place filled with giant jump type rides...Saturday night we watched one of my favorite movies ever, "Muriel's Wedding." This morning Diana made a wonderful breakfast that we enjoyed before we had to take Aleena back to McDonald's for her seven hour bus ride home. Whew! Although it was fast and way too short, EVERYONE enjoyed having Aleena around. I can't wait to have her visit again!
