Carlos- Lexie and Saint George!

Last Thursday, we were delighted to welcome two friends to visit, one from far and one from near!

Jeff's good friend Carlow Mayer was coming to the states for business and came a few days early to spend some time with us! Jeff showed him the twins and Mapleton, first in the car and then on an early morning 4 wheeler ride. Friday we headed to Saint George to see "Sound of Music" (Ali Fisher our dear little friend plays Marta) and show Carlos another Utah environment. Kara's best friend Lexie Shadle came with us as well. Rob and Kim let us shack up in thier incredible home there and as soon as we arrived, Ali came over and the girls hit the pool! They had such a great time jumping off the rock hot tub and playing King of the mountain. Nancy came after an hour or so and wisked Ali off to get ready for her performance. We enjoyed the show emensly though Carlos was quite tired, and ran into the Watkins family after (from alpine) and had a nice visit with them.

On our way out of town, we toured several beautiful art museums and Brigham Young's winter home. We also stopped and toured Cove fort on the way home. Though it had been a long trip home, Carlos felt strongly about attending mass, so we unpacked and Jeff and I went with him. It was very interesting and had a good feeling about it.

I took some photos with my I phone with the intention of adding them to this post, however, I forgot to get them off before I sold my phone - Darn -
