On Saturday morning, we headed out for the final leg of our journey, our trip home. This was mercifully the shortest drive of our whole grand tour, just three hours. I think the boys might have died of excitement if it had taken much longer. We rolled into town just before lunchtime and went to our very dear friends' home where we would be staying, the Larsons.
Tim and Anne had driven all the way from Indiana to Page, and Shaun and Melissa were in town to see everyone as well. This gave us the perfect excuse to stay in town where we had more room and the where the kids could be with their friends. Lunch at RDs was our very first order of business. Once we were filled with burgers, fries, and Oreo shakes, it was off to the lake without further adieu. The Larsons joined us along with the Martins that were in town. I don't know if the water ever felt that good!
One of my favorite parts of our visit to Page was one that I don't have any photos of, attending our ward. I was so glad that we were able to be there over a Sunday when we could see all of the people that we love. Many of those people we would not have seen otherwise. For so many years they were our friends, our support, our family. It felt so good to be able to greet them and tell them how much we had missed them.
The rest of the days we were in Page were spent playing at the lake and enjoying the company of our friends and family. John and Michelle even came over for a couple of days to enjoy some lake time. I even got to go and get my hair done while I was in town by my friend and very favorite hairdresser, Melissa.
The Larsons were the best hosts ever! Just like the way I felt when we got together with our cousins in Durango, it was picking up with our family right where we left off. Our kids had the best time and wore each other out.
No matter what they say, you can go home again! Love to all of our Page family!
We had so much fun with you! Hurry up and come over again.
