Girls Weekend

So it was time once again for our biennial girls weekend. This time around it was Melissa, Marissa, Hillary, Hannah and me. On the first day we did a girls lunch and then a movie. Later that night the girls brought their kids and we all came over to mom and dads and had tinfoil dinners and s'mores in the backyard. The next day we headed up to Heber and had a really nice "progressive" dinner where we went to a bunch of different stores and got some fruit, a baguette, some delicious desserts and then we went to a little artisan cheese shop we heard about and got a selection of cheeses. After we had gathered our food we went to a park and had a picnic and sat around and talked and talked and talked. During this time, Melissa had invited Riley to come hang out with her kids because Riley and Ethan got along so well at the tinfoil dinner. While we were having our fancy cheese party, Melissa's husband Derik took the kids fishing where Riley caught a fish! He had the best time. The next day we went and got pedicures and did some shopping. Our toes look fabulous. Unfortunately I didn't think to get enough pictures of us all. We took Sunday off to be with our families and I bailed on Monday's activities because it was Reeds and my 14th anniversary. But the girls took all their kids to the splash pad in Spanish Fork. Our final day together we decided to be ambitious and hiked up to Timpanogos caves. It was So much fun and we even got to initiate our youngest member to our girls day by having Melissa's daughter Kate come with us. After we completed the hike we had a nice lunch together and then said our good-byes. The time seemed to go so fast but it was so much fun and such a good reminder that despite the time and distance between us and who we were in high school we are still all good friends. I really didn't take enough pictures, but here are the ones I did take.
