We went to St. George to be there for Jenna's Baptism & it was such a great trip! We got up there a day earlier than everyone else, & it was so fun to have an extra day with Melissa! In the morning Nate went on a run & then Melis & I went on a run together while Lily napped. It was so nice getting to go on a run with Melis, it brought me back to the many runs we went together in college! On our way back we saw this guy on an elliptago & realized it was Nate pulling Lily in the trailer on the back of it, it was so funny to see them! Then we went to a park & then Nate stayed home while Lily & Andy napped so Melis & I could go out! we had lunch at George's Corner & then went shopping at Home Goods where I found the cutest velvet pumpkins & turkey for holiday decorations. Melissa always inspires me with her cute holiday decorations & I think it will be so fun to decorate for holidays as Lily is growing up! It was so fun getting to have a relaxing afternoon together! Poor Nate had to do traffic school that ended up taking 6 hours!!! In the evening mom & dad got to St. George & then Melissa & Sam made their famous pizza, it is sooooo good!!! Better than any restaurant!



The next day we drove up to Cedar City & saw some beautiful views of fall leaves & then hung out at the Children's Lake, where Jenna & Andy did some fishing with some traumatic catchings. It was so pretty to see the yellow leaves & walk around the lake. Lily was loving sitting in the dirt & playing with the leaves & Nate was very panicked about how dirty she was getting, hopefully he will get used to how dirty kids get! Then we got pizza & gelato at The Pizza Cart, both were super good!! We came back to Melissa & had an unfortunate incident where Melissa made Tres Leches cake topped with salted whipped cream (1/4 a cup to be exact) instead of whipped cream with sugar. I discovered the mistake as I said, "There's nothing better than homemade whipped cream & licked the whipped cream spoon only to lean over the sink & spit it out!! So funny!!! We ran to the grocery store & it all ended up ok!! Then we came back & played card games & then Ally & Zach arrived!



Saturday was Jenna's baptism! It was such a sweet baptism! She sang, "I Like to Look For Rainbows" with one verse in Portuguese while Sam played the ukulele & it was sooo sweet! She looked so beautiful in her baptism dress & so happy! We were so glad we could be there on her special day! Though I wish I had time to get her a "spiritual scrunchie" that she requested that morning to wear in her hair!!



After the baptism, we had lunch at Melissa's & then went to the Stahely Farms Pumpkin Patch. We have gone with them the past 5 years & it was so fun going with Lily this year! She loved the slides & kept wanting to go on one over & over again! We were all a little shocked when dad took her on the tall slide & had her stand & run the whole way down as he sat... She looked ticked about it but refused to stop running... haha, I could not stop watching the video Ally made of the incident!!!

It was such a great visit & Melissa was the best host! It was so cute seeing Lily with Jenna & Andy, they are so cute with her! I wish we could visit every month!!! Also, the last night Melissa, Ally, & I stayed up talking until 2am! It was so fun getting to visit a lot, I love my sisters!!
