Vacation Home
We bought a vacation home in Hurricane Utah. We had been thinking about doing this for a while, wanting a "get away" place to escape to during the long cold winter months here in Alpine. It's about a four-hour drive, but the temperature difference is a good 20 to 30 degrees warmer in the winter, so golfing and other outdoor activities are options even in January. Plus it is close to Zions, there are two reservoirs for fishing and boating nearby, and lots of ATV trails and did I mention golf courses? Plus St. George is a mere 10 miles away and Jenna and David are about 6 1/2 hours away. We are in the process of furnishing it and we are going to need to do some landscaping and other projects - never a dull moment. We are hopeful it will be a great place to get away to for many years. Below are pictures of the house and Quail Creek reservoir.

Trip to Hurricane and Cedar City
Had a great Christmas with Jenna, David, Cyrena, Natalie, Rick and Lynette traveling to our home. Had a great Christmas eve program with the candy bar sled races, music, and various presentations. Curt's family came and shared the evening with us. Andy and Carrie came with them. Lynn, Debbie, Elise, Jacob, Chad, ShayLynn, Ty, and Isabelle spent the night. Fun times!
Christmas afternoon, we went to eat at Mi Ranchito and saw Valkrie - a pretty good movie with Tom Cruise.
We left Tuesday 12/30 and drove to Hurricane, UT. (stopping at the Red Barn in Santaquin on the way to pick up some great Fuji apples). Our friends, the Gardners, have a winter home right next to the Sky Mountain golf course. So of course John and I played 18 holes of golf on Wed and Thurs and Dee Dee and Jacque (say Jackie) shopped and played. We had some great food at Olive Garden and at a sports bar in Hurricane and went to see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - strange and interesting, and LOOOOONG!! We also watched some DVDs at their home - I Robot and The Spitfire Grill.
Friday morning we headed up to Janet and Allen's cabin 20 miles west of Cedar City. Janet joined us later that evening - Allen couldn't make it. We had a "24" marathon (season 6 of the TV series). Watched the whole thing and basically vegged until Sunday around 6 PM when we headed back home.
