The Long Overdue Trip

After experiencing a super long period of separation from the beloved city of Blanding I was finally able to go home this last Thursday. On Thursday morning Ruth and I set out for home. It was a long drive, as always, but it was worth it to be with my family again. That night, we drove over to Monticello for the Charley Jenkins and Aaron Tippin concert. I was really excited to see Charley again because I enjoyed the last time I saw him so much. Aaron Tippin did a good job too, and he had a ton of energy. On Friday morning we went golfing with my dad and two of his co-workers. I hadn't played a round of golf in a year, but it was still fun to go. I am pretty sure Ruth would have kicked my butt had we been really keeping score. I was surprised that we both got burned pretty bad. I thought we wouldn't have got that red after all the hiking and stuff we have done this summer. Anyway, later on in the evening we got to hang out with Kyle and Dany. It was a blast to be with them again. We made an awesome pizza and some spam musibi. On Saturday afternoon we went and shot skeets with my dad and Farley. We didn't put on much of a show, but we had a lot of fun. It was Ruths first time shooting a gun, and she did pretty well. She took care of a can of pepsi on her second shot. That evening we went to the cabin for dinner. We played frisbee before dinner and bocce after dinner. It was lots of good food, including some amazing pecan pie, and lots of fun. On Sunday we stayed around long enough to go to church and have dinner with the family. Then on the way back to Cedar City we met up with Ruths dad so he could take her back home. It was really hard to let her go like that, but hopefully we will see each other again soon. Here are a couple pictures from the weekend. Enjoy!
