Utah Day 2 and 3

Day 2: I went down to Freedom Elementary in Highland to see all of my old students. I walked into the cafeteria so I could give them hugs and say hello while they were at lunch. Afterwards I visited with all of the teachers I used to work with. I miss teaching, but I love being home with Ainsley. After we went to the school, my mom and I went to my sister Andrea's house. She just built a home in Saratoga Springs and she has moved in since I've been in Indiana. We spent the afternoon visiting and letting my nephews Will and Caden play with Ainsley. Ainsley enjoyed playing in Caden's bouncy toy. It kept her entertained for almost an hour. After visiting Andrea, I went back to the Reese's where we went to Tom's grandpa's house. It was fun visiting with the Reese family. We've sure missed them!

Day 3: Today we went to the Cheesecake Factory with my family. It was my mom, my older sister Andrea and her two boys Will (2) and Caden (5 months), my younger sister Cami, and my younger brother Jon. We had a delicious lunch and then split four cheesecakes so we could try them all! They were delicious!!! Afterwards, the girls all went shopping at Fashion Place. Why is it that it is so much more fun to shop for kids' clothes? We found some great deals. As my dad says, "I'm going broke saving all this money.":)

This is the view from my parents condo. They are renting it as they are building their fourth house in this neighborhood where we moved 21 years ago. The tiny speck on the back mountain is called Elephant Rock and we would hike up there almost every summer when I was younger. I sure miss the mountains!!! I'm glad I got to see the fall colors while I was here.
