This weekend my cousins' school put on the play, "Hello Dolly" and my dear cousin, Heather was the lead. She was a fabulous Dolly. I went to the show with my grandma. I had so much fun hanging out with her. We stayed at a hotel in St. George, and played with my other cousin, Brett's family. It was loads of fun to spend time with my grandma.
She came to pick me up on Friday afternoon, my uncle Jim was driving, and he took us to the hotel then he went to Brett's house to settle in there, because that's where he was staying. Grandma and I sat and chatted for a while, then we watched the news and "Judge Judy". I love watching Judge Judy with my grandma, it's really fun. Around five we went down to the hotel lobby to wait for Jim to pick us up for dinner, and we chatted there too. Dinner was at The Cracker Barrel, it was pretty good. I sat with Grandma and all my cousins, and we just chatted until Heather and Marcy had to leave to make their call time (Marcy played in the pit for the show).
We went to the show (which was spectacular!) Then we went back to the hotel where we watched The Golden Compass until we fell asleep. We slept-in in the morning, then we went to breakfast (biscuits and gravy in the hotel they were DELICIOUS)! After breakfast we went out shopping, Grandma was looking for specific kitchen items, but we were unable to find them at the stores we tried.
After shopping we went to Brett's house and played with his cute little daughter. I read a book by one of my favorite authors out loud for Grandma and Faye. I think they really enjoyed it; I know I did. (The book was Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. It is spectacular!)
For lunch we went to "Marv's" a greasy little burger place with awesome Piccadilly chips. Faye was so cute, she picked the table right by the door and commented on how cold it was every time the door opened. She loved playing with the little quarter candy machines, and tried some Pretzel M&M's and some Skittles and some Peanut M&M's, she just loved turning the crank and seeing the bright candies come out. She was cute while we were eating, she sat on my left hip, and I had to learn how to eat right handed. I love having little ones around!
After lunch I went with Grandma back to the hotel to say goodbye. I didn't want to leave, but I figured it would be mot convenient for Jim if he didn't have to come back to the hotel before going to Cedar City for the USU vs SUU basketball game. Faye was excited to see me again. She say on my hip again while she played with the cute little sticker book that Grandma-great bought her. When Lori got home we piled in the car to head north, and arrived in Cedar City on time for the basketball game. I sat with my T-Bird friends, and watched as the Aggies creamed us (but not as badly as I had thought they would...) at half-time I went over to say hi to Faye and Lori, and I fell down the stairs (nothing new there...) I tried my best to corrupt Faye, telling her to cheer for the boys in the white and red, and I helped her do the cheers along with our pep-band and our cheerleaders, but I think she's still an Aggie girl at heart.
After the game my friends and I went back to our building and they had a dance party for our friend Arissa's birthday. I danced a few songs, but I mostly took refuge in my room because of the kind of music that was being played. I did have fun on the few songs that I went out and danced to.
Over all it has been a fabulous weekend, filled with family, and friends. I just love having a big family, they make everything more exciting, and I can't wait to see the bulk of them next weekend for Thanksgiving!
Happy Holidays!
