Cedar City July 18-19, 2008

We had a beautiful weekend in Cedar City spending time with Dennis' sister, Emilee and his daughter, Tasha. We drove down on Friday. We stopped in Beaver for a potty break and I made Dennis get a picture on the big rocking chair. He wants to state for the record that this picture was taken under protest.



When we arrived we picked up Emilee and Tasha for dinner and then we were going to a comedy show called Off the Cuff. Very popular there in Cedar City on Friday nights. We had dinner at a place called Ninja. It is a Teppanyaki restaurant. We had so much fun. This is a picture of our chef. He was great.


I had never been to this type of restaurant so I ordered shrimp. Mostly because shrimp has the least amount of points on Weight Watchers. Then Emilee points out that because I ordered shrimp that we were going to have to catch it in our mouths. So I sat there praying that was not the case. I was wrong. He did toss it into our mouths but...I caught it! In fact we all did, well except for Dennis. But he caught it on round 2. We had a lot of fun. There were two other guys sitting at our table and they were kind enough to take our picture together.



After dinner we went to a local improv comedy show at Grinders. The troupe is called Off the Cuff and it was a lot of fun. Dennis got to try the best cherry limeades in the state. According to Tasha. :) Here we are in front of Grinders.



We stayed the night at Emilee's apartment. She was absolutely the best hostess. We brought our own air mattress and to our dismay it had a hole in it. Well we found that out at about 2 am. I ended up on the couch and Dennis woke up like this.



We picked up Tasha and went to breakfast. She doesn't like breakfast food so she picked Denny's. Since they serve regular food at all hours. Dennis ate a massive amount of hashbrowns.



After that we took her to New Castle to pick up her birthday package. We mailed it to New Castle thinking that was where she would be for the summer. Here she is with all of her gifts.



She got lots of tops, nail polish, lipgloss, jewelry, and her favorite...money!



We took some pictures outside of Emilee's apartment. I am squinting because it was very sunny!





Dennis hates to take pictures without his sunglasses on, but we made him do one.



We ended the day by going to a movie with Tasha's whole family. Well they were going anyway and so were we so we just went together. We saw the Dark Knight and it was excellent. We said our goodbyes, packed our things and headed home. It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. Thanks Emilee for your hospitality. Thank you Tasha for letting us take you all over Cedar City. And thanks Amber for letting us steal her for a few days. Even though she was grounded.
