We caravanned our group to St. George next. Sandy and Ray are always so kind to allow us all to decend upon their condo. Tiffany and Brett live there now too, so we are able to spread out a little. While in St. George, we played at a few different parks, flew some more air rockets, and enjoyed a few more evenings and meals together. One of our first outings was to Mesquite. Cory gave Brittany a sky diving adventure for Christmas. He thought it would be fun for her to have someone to share the experience with and, as he had been skydiving before, he asked my Cori if he would like to join her. It is something Cori had always been keen on doing and he happily agreed.
At the airport, the kids had fun playing around the hanger. Brittany and Cori took turns. Britt went up first. We watched the plane circle higher and higher. Sheesh. They were way up there.
She jumped like a champ!
We evacuated the hanger to keep the kids out of the way as the guys repacked their chutes. And then it was Cori's turn.
Cori loved it. It looked like a lot of fun. I could almost imagine doing it. Almost. Next time, though, it is Sandy's turn. We found out that this experience is a bucket list item for her. Gotta check that off!
One of our park outings was for a little family bike-ride/fun run. Cori got the kids warmed up while we waited for the group to arrive.
Later that day at another park, Cori and his siblings taught us a basketball game they made up as kids. We modified it a tiny bit and everyone got to play.
Then, all too soon, our week was up and we had to pack up and head home. We agreed that it was one of the best get togethers yet for this crew. Cori and I were so grateful to have been able to see everyone and the kids were in heaven every single day playing with their cousins.
