Wednesday Dennis and I drove to St. George and left the three older kids at Grandpa & Grandma Sorensens'. Dennis was invited to be a speaker at the Rural Water Association of Utah Conference. I really enjoyed seeing him in this element because I don't get to see the "City Planner" Dennis very often. He was amazing! He spoke on "Growing Pains" in dealing with planning and other issues in the city. The auditorium was really big and there was a very nice size crowd of city workers in attendance from all over the state. He really did a wonderful job and knows his stuff. We decided to stay there for an extra day and call it our "Anniversary Trip". I dragged him out shopping with me, we walked around some antique shops, went out to eat, went to the St. George Temple Visitors Center, and soaked up a little sun.
On the way home Dennis wanted to stop and drive around the other end of Zion's park that we've never been to before, Kolob Canyons. To be perfectly honest, I didn't want to stop, I really just wanted to get home. But Dennis won out and I'm glad he did. Red rock isn't my favorite, I much prefer the forest or ocean, something more green, but seeing that area makes me reflect on how it was all made and who made it all. There is a peace there that kind of stops time and lets you breath.
It was a fun weekend together!

That sounds like such fun. It's nice to get out and do something different for a while. By the way, happy birthday! Ammon says to tell you happy birthday from him too!
Sounds like a wonderful get-a-way with your husband. I also love all your kids photos and the new look of your blog.
