We went to St George to see Tanner and Emilie and to watch Tanner play two basketball games. Kirt and I flew in on Wednesday night and got there just after midnight on Thursday morning. Tanner and Emilie were going to leave a car for us to drive to their house since it was so late, but when they were on the way to the airport, Emilie's jeep died and they had to have it towed. Tanner took Emilie home, and then came back to pick us up at the airport.
Tanner had school on Thursday, so Kirt and I entertained ourselves. I took Tanner to school so we could have his car. Emilie dropped her dad off at work so she could have his car. She had to work at the hospital all day. Kirt and I went to lunch at Kneaders and drove around St George exploring the town. We picked Tanner up from school in the afternoon and he showed us the Red Cliffs temple. We went back to his house. Grammy and Pompa came (they flew to Las Vegas and rented a car and drove to St. George), and Katie and Marsha came (they drove down from Provo). We went to dinner at Raising Cane's. Emilie came and joined us. Then we went to the basketball game. Utah Tech played Utah Valley. It was a good game, but they lost. It was so fun to see Tanner play in person.
Friday we went to the St George Temple visitors center (the temple is closed for remodeling.) Tanner had to go to practice. The rest of us went up to campus and went to the bookstore. Grammy wanted a new Utah Tech shirt. We went back to Tanner and Emilie's and had lunch. Emilie, Katie and I went shopping at the mall. Katie was looking for birthday presents and mission clothes. We went to dinner at the Pizza Factory.
Saturday, we went to the farmers market in the park. They were little booths with people selling different things. Grammy really wanted a corn dog. It was huge and everyone had a bite. Then we went and got some custard at Nileson's. We went up to the bluff that overlooked all of St George and took pictures. Then we went to the Leavitt's and they fed us yummy Cafe Rio for an early dinner before the game. Then we went to the game. Utah Tech played SUU and they won. Tanner had a great game!!
Grammy and Pompa had a really early flight and they got up at like 3am and drove back to Vegas. They flew to Albany to see Jessy and her family. Kirt and I and Katie and Marsha went to church with Tanner and Emilie. Katie and Marsha left right after sacrament meeting to drive back to Provo. Kirt and I hung out the rest of the day with Tanner and Emilie. We went to the Leavitt's to play games and they fed us dinner again. We flew home that night at 7pm. It was so fun to see Tanner and Emilie and to watch Tanner play basketball!
We had to go out on the runway in the Salt Lake Airport to get on our plane.
