We went to SLC this past weekend and stayed very busy. We stayed up at the cabin and the Woods stayed with us. Friday night Jared and Kelly Dearth drove up and we stayed up until 2 am playing cards and visiting. I don't think Dave or I have stayed up that late since before Lincoln was born. At least not on purpose :) We had a great time and it was really good to visit with some lifelong friends.

Saturday we took the kids to an indoor bouncy slide place called Jumping Jacks. Lincoln LOVED it! Grant thought it was cool, but he was more interested in the cheap little rides then the actual slides. The Woods came with us and even all the adults got in on the action. 
We then took our boys over to Guy and Amy's house (my uncle and aunt), so they could take a nap while Dave and I went to a temple sealing. Dave's old roommate, Jacob Hiatt-aka-Skeet, FINALLY got married :) This was the whole reason we went to SLC in the first place. The sealing was in the new Draper Temple and it was absolutely stunning. Everything about it was incredible. It's been a while since I've been to a sealing and I'm so grateful that Dave and I are sealed together for time and all eternity. It was a wonderful experience and we're so happy for Skeet and Melanie. Congratulations you two! 
After the sealing, we drove back to West Jordan to save the Mackay's from the masters of disasters. Dave was completely beat from a late night/early morning, so he snuck down to the basement for a little shut eye while I visited with Amy and the girls. When sleeping beauty woke up, we drove back to Lindon where the wedding reception was located (in the backyard of Skeet's aunt/uncle's house). I had never met Melanie until I was giving her a hug in the temple, but I must say, the girl has GREAT taste. The reception was beautiful. All the little touches and food and flowers and her dress were all perfect. I'm excited to get to know her better.

We didn't stay at the reception long, for fear that the boys would destroy everything, so instead we took them to The Mayan for a 8:30 dinner. For those of you who don't know, Dave and I use to work at the Mayan together. It's been a few years since we've been in and they've changed everything around. The boys loved the dive show and just the ambiance of the whole place. I think they really thought we were eating in the jungle. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Wow!! What a fun event filled weekend!! Cute pics!! YOu have such a cute fam!!
What kinds of things have they changed at the Mayan? To be honest, when we are in the SLC area, it would NEVER occur to me to go eat there. Not that I would say no if someone suggested it, I would just never think of it.
