St. George

On Saturday we decided to drive up to St. George for the day. It's just an hour and a half away, and I wanted to check out Tai Pan Trading (wholesale home decor store). We had a fun time, and the kids were champs in the car so we will have to do it more often! We drove by the temple and found a fun park. Drove by a sign for Brick Oven Pizza and got all excited since we liked that place in Provo, but when we got to the restaurant realized it doesn't open for another few weeks. Anyway, we ended up finding a Pizza Factory which we love too. In Provo, we ate at the Pizza Factory on our first date. And, we hadn't eaten Pizza Factory since we were engaged. Got to love the twisty bread sticks! I could eat like ten of them. They are way too good. Jake caved on his ultra healthy diet he'd been on to have pizza and bread with us. Thanks, Jake. I found a few things for the house for good prices at Tai Pan. Yeah! Oh, and when we were at the park there were some guys with huge speakers at the other end of the park pumping out some gospel rap. Crazy stuff. Haha. So, while listening to some "thank you Jesus" rap and hip hop, interspersed with shouting about being saved and hell fire, we ran up and down slides, climbed, and swung on the swings. What a day.
Here is Ella playing like a big kid on the playground equipment!

Jake had a little too much fun swinging with Luke.
So much that he tore his pants. See that big hole by the right pocket? Haha
Awww.. it's Ella with her messy park hair.
Loving the swing!
The temple
Mmm.m.m..............
Oh, and Sunday Jake and I got our callings at church. We'll be teaching the 12-13 year old sunday school class. Should be interesting to see how it goes!
