New Friends and a New Vacation Spot

We met a couple in our new ward, Lisa and Carter Smith, who are our age with about the same age kids.  They invited us to join them in St George over labor day weekend (their family has a vacation home there).  They had extra tickets for the final night of Little Mermaid at Tuacahn Outdoor Theater, too.

Sebastian (Hazel), Prince Eric(Anna), Ariel(Addi) and Colton and Bryce as the characters from Grease.

The play was amazing.  The stage turned into an ocean, the mermaids and other sea creatures used heelies and rolled around the stage instead of walked so it really did look like they were swimming.  This is the first time I’d ever been to this theater and it was every bit as spectacular as people described.

Carter is an excellent photographer and took a lot of pictures of our kids during our weekend. 

Thanks Carter for capturing the memories for us.

The kids played on their bikes and scooters around the vacation home.
