The kids were out of school for Fall Break, so we jumped in the car and headed north. We drove to St. George and spent a week hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Welch, Uncle Brandon's family and Uncle Mark's family. We enjoyed a little sightseeing, exploring, and game nights.
We spent a whole day at Dixie State College with Rachel. She was given a tour by an Ambassador she had met at her high school. He showed her all the cool parts of the school, talked to her about activities, scholarships, housing, and how to become an Ambassador herself. We drove to the apartment complex recommended by him and toured the apartments. Rachel is ready to start college tomorrow, but fortunately, she gets to finish high school and enjoy her last few months at home.
It had been about 2 years since Rachel had "gone home", so she was super excited
to see her Uncle Brandon and spend time with him and all the little cousins.
She visited her favorite dance teacher, Stefanie, also.
We visited the Jacob Hamblin home. He was a pioneer sent to help settle St. George, actually Santa Clara, Utah. He was a friend to the Indians and the tour guide/missionary told us stories and showed us some of the artifacts remaining from this time in our church history.
