Family Fun

Last week for our little family fun night, we went and watched my brother race his motorcycle. It was a lot of fun. Highlights included the little kids who raced on tiny motorcycles and four wheelers, a girl on a motorcycle who was an amazing rider, and watching my brother, who's not too shabby! It was a lot of fun!

The next day we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.  It happened to be pouring when we went.  We got great parking, right across from the tent where we watched the movie, but I was still drenched by the time I got in the tent.  And I even had an umbrella, it was quite the storm.  Every time I have driven by this week, it has been sunny and beautiful with lots of families snapping photos.  We will have to go back....

This week we have been plagued with the fever/swine flu.  I took Tyler to the doctor because he had a fever and I wondered about the swine flu.  The only symptom he had was a fever, but they are calling everything swine flu right now.  So I guess we've got it.  Kirk woke up freezing this morning.  I thought for sure I would get it before him.  So far Jacob and I have gone unaffected.  I really hope I don't get it.  So no family fun this weekend:(  Lucky for us whatever we have is super mild, consists of headache and fever.  No vomiting, coughs, runny noses, or sore throats, knock on wood!

Beaches

After 3 days at Disneyland, we needed a break.  So we left our Harbor Blvd hotel and went to Newport Beach.  It was beautiful!  Our hotel was not far from the temple, so we drove by one afternoon while we were getting lunch.  It is a beautiful temple in a beautiful area.  While at Newport, we drove down the coast to Laguna beach as well.  We spent our last day at Huntington Beach.  I like Huntington Beach the best.  It is what you might expect of a beach town.  Lots of surf shops, beach cruiser bicycles everywhere, stretches of beach, a pier, volleyball nets,  paved sidewalks that parallel the beach, etc...My sister in law grew up there.  I can't even imagine how that must of been.  But is sure is beautiful!

Kirk had to fly out Saturday, so we missed him at Huntington Beach.  We still miss him.  I am excited and nervous to join him in Japan this week.  Wish me luck!
