This past weekend one of my cousins was married in the SLC Temple. My parents and siblings decided to attend the wedding and visit us. I was super excited as that would mean I would have someone to spend the weekend with since Matt was out of town camping with the YM. I was excited to show them the new City Creek Mall, tour the Utah Valley Parade of Homes with them and take them to a splash pad to play with Enzo as well as attend the wedding and reception. Sadly, my plans were stopped when a fire was started in the hills behind our home by a target shooter. So instead of enjoying a nice, relaxing weekend with us, my family helped me evacuate and find a place to stay for the night. Just what they wanted to do after a 10 + hour car drive. The fire was started Thursday morning and by Friday morning we were told we need to clear out because the fire was heading our way. I am so thankful my parents were in town because without them I am not sure what I would have done with the dogs (I know several neighbors would have been more than happy to help and I am grateful to know that) as I just had our car and there was no way I would have fit 2 large dogs in the backseat with Enzo. We were able to go to the City Creek Mall, drive by some of the parade of Homes houses, get snow cones and ice cream and play at the park and give Enzo his first hair cut even with all the evacuating and fire commotion. I just wish it had been more relaxing of a weekend for our visitors. We are grateful that we were able to return home Saturday morning and that the firefighters were able to keep our neighborhood safe from damage. Hopefully we won't be evacuating for fires anymore this summer. Sunday my parents and siblings headed back to California only to miss the most beautiful sunset we were treated with that evening. Although it was a crazy few days Enzo and I were so glad to spend time with Papa, Lola, Aunt Shelli & Uncle Steve. We missed Grandma Great, Uncle Joe and Aunt Lindsey, Allison & William. Hopefully we will see them sometime this summer.
