St. George Stopover with Grandparents

The drive to Lake Powell takes us through St. George.
And on our way back, we got to stop and see our other favorite people!
My aunt and uncle opened their beautiful home up to us for the weekend.
We watched the Belmont Stakes to see if California Chrome won, then went to a trampoline park and  over to some batting cages for Cody to show off his skill.
We got to see my brother Eric also
and went out to eat at Golden Corral, the child's food paradise.

My parents are awesome to drive all that way
to see us for the weekend.
Our drive back was on Sunday so we decided to stop at the St. George Temple and visitors center.

 I'm so glad we went there
but it proved to delay us even more.
Once we hit Vegas it was painfully slow going the rest of the way home. Arg Vegas!
 We watched A Pioneer Miracle at the visitors center.
What an awesome movie!
It teaches a wonderful lesson about obedience.
The next night we talked about the movie and obedience.
We chatted about how our friend who is not a member of our church asked Cody why he was going on a mission and
he said, "Because I'm supposed to."
Our prophet has said that every 18 year old boy in our church should go on a mission.
It's one of the golden fhe lessons that really hit home for Cody.
I want a copy of the Pioneer Miracle so I looked for it
on Amazon you can buy it for $75.00 through Amazon Prime
and Deseret Book it's $7.00. 
Is it just me or is Amazon ridiculous these days?

I was surprised to see these pictures pop up when I downloaded them onto here.
They have the same image number as the previous four.
Then we realized they're randomly from Lake Powell in 09 when Macey was a baby.
Those cheeks are so cute and squishy!
