Last weekend Allison called and said that my parents were in Salt Lake and we should come and join them all. At the last minute, I packed an overnight bag and we left Saturday after McKell's dance practice. We stopped at the Gateway for some quick shopping and then attended the temple with Thomas, Allison, mom and dad. We had dinner after at Allison's and had pie to celebrate mom and dad's birthday, which was on the 6th. (Yes, they share a birthday, born the same day, same year, even born in the same hospital. When I was growing up I thought everybody's parents had the same birthday.)
We purchased Guitar Hero before we left and Braxton brought it with us and hooked it up at Thomas and Allison's house. Everyone had a great time rockin' out. Derek on guitar, Thomas singing, and Braxton on the drums. Allison also took her turn at the microphone. This was my first experience with Guitar Hero and I was mainly worried about the "band" being way too noisy for Allison's upstairs neighbors.
McKell is always looking for something to do and spent most of the time tap dancing in my mom's high heels. Thank goodness Allison found her a project - painting and decorating some blocks. She had a great time. Thanks to Thomas and Allison for being great hosts.
