Visitors Part II

Seth and I just made his mom's SouthWest Egg Rolls-They were delicious and Seth absolutely just loves them.

I think I'm going to make a Chocolate Cake for my man's birthday.  Even though his favorite is Lemon Meringue Pie-I don't think I'm brave enough yet to try it out.

Our friends from North Carolina are home visiting their families and enjoying the Outerbanks and I'm a tad bit jealous.

Seth and I both missed working while Zach and Karla were visiting.  Strange huh?  Thankfully I love my job and although Seth isn't too thrilled with all this schooling right now-we will both be thankful down the road.  

Anywho, enough nonsense, let's move on to the remainder of our Zach and Karla fun.

~Part II Zach & Karla Utah Adventures~

Seth and I decided we wanted to take Zach & Karla on the Jardine Juniper trail. It is a pretty easy hike-just an extremely long one. 5.2 miles one way & 10.4 miles total. 

I won't venture into everyone's feelings about hiking 10.4 miles in one day, but I will say we were all worn slap out by the end of the day :).

Karla is a strange girl and doesn't like Pineapples or Bananas.  I'm still in shock by this.

Zach is a little strange himself too-he doesn't like Brussel sprouts and doesn't even know if he's eaten them or not to like them.

My very attractive man and I.

Just a pretty picture.

Us all with good ol Jardine Juniper.

End of our hike and we were only smiling for the camera :).

After hiking and being out in the sun for 5 1/2 hours we were all pretty pleased to get home and prop our feet up for a bit.

Another fun spot to take our visitors (if we can) is Bear Lake.  It is a beautiful, windy, 20 mile long lake that will just take your breath away each time to see it.

After visiting the overlook (which is above) we went down into the Garden City (which is the town that the lake is in) and got these famous Raspberry Milkshakes.  They are just so divine and you'll never taste anything like them.  

While we had our guest in town the weather just couldn't have gotten better. It was warm, sunny, and just gorgeous during the day and got a little cool in the evening.  We tried to spend every minute outside.  We hung out, grilled, played Jarts (fun game), Farkle, and read some books.

Enjoying the Sunshine while Not sweating (like they would in SC)!

So pretty!  Karla with the Wellsville-she loved them like I do :).

Seth and my Pizza-Yummmmm.

Seth & Zach purchased a cheap Frisbee from the DI and just loved throwing that thing around.  Karla and I could only participate for about 20 minutes before we grew bored.  Seth and Zach did this for well over an hour-just back and forth, back and forth.

But obviously it wore them out.  Taking a nap on our picnic blanket after a picnic and frisbee throwing.

On the last evening that we had Zach and Karla-Seth and I decided to take them to see a Utah sunset.

Got there just in time for the show!

Man what a fun and busy week!  We so enjoyed having the both of them in Utah with us.

Once we get back into the groove of life we will be heading off to Canada for a week and then a few weeks after that trip we will be heading to SC to visit our families and vacay at the Beach!  Whoooo Hoooo! :).  This summer is going to FLY By!

Happy Friday tomorrow!
