Dion's Birthday Weekend...

For Dion's birthday we decided to take a trip down south to show him around. I rented a car and we (Whit, Dion, Ry, Lilly and me) took off early Friday morning. Whitney and I went to get the car and were given the choice between two different ones. One was a smaller car that would crowd us all in. The other was a bit bigger. I am sure you can guess which car we decided on.

Isn't it beautiful?








We loaded up and took off. On the way down we decided to surprise Dion and we took a small (or as it ends up... a pretty big) detour and went over to Manti so that he could see the temple there. We had a lot of fun taking pictures around the temple...
Lilly really had to go to the bathroom...
On the way back to the freeway we ended up getting kind of lost and had an adventure finding our way back. We ended up driving to Wales and meeting a nice dog that thought he should attack our car. Not sure where the logic is in that... but it got us laughing. Dion also had to get a picture of what he thought was a cool place...
Welcome to Wales... Population One weird dog...
We finally made it back to the freeway and down to St. George by around 6pm. After leaving at 10 am it sure made for a long day of driving with an engaged couple and two kids.... We met up with Lacey's dad and were shown where the condo was where we would be spending the weekend. It was super nice! Ammon, Lacey, Cori and mom came down a little later and the fun began! Ammon, Lacey, Whitney, Dion and I (along with my friend Whit, who stopped by to visit) ended up staying up late and watching some good ole Jerry Springer... Boy did that bring back the old days of working at the SCERA while in high school! 
On Saturday we got up and couldn't wait any longer for Dion to open up his presents that we brought down. Boy was he in for a big surprise...

After presents we got ready to meet Lacey's family and go 4 wheeling. I had never been and was SUPER excited to go! We ended up spending hours out riding...

 After getting nice and dirty we finally went back to the condo to get ready for our night of fun. I am amazed that we talked my mom into heading down to Vegas with us to walk around. It was our last present for Dion...


On Sunday it was unfortunately time to head home... I always hate leaving St. George when I go down there to visit. Before leaving we made sure to stop at the temple and also by the tabernacle. Our trip would not be complete without taking pictures of us...
