Greetings from the Nolls and the Andersons from atop the Sand Pitch Mountains at about 10,000 feet! What an adventure we had getting to this beautiful spot. We arrived at Scott and Sam's home up in the mountains just outside Nephi, Utah at about 1:00 on Thursday afternoon. We sat and chatted for a while and then we old folks got talked into a snowmobile adventure up Log Canyon road which runs directly up the mountain behind the ranch house. As you can see in the picture at the right, we had to share our snowmobiles. On the right you can see Roger and Marsha with Hunter. In the foreground you can see Bob and Deb with Ben. Scott and Sam were taking the picture and had Katie with them. To say it was a white-knuckle ride would be a bit of an understatement-especially for us rookie snowmobilers! Roger and Marsha are seasoned riders and of course Scott and Sam are always up for a thrill, but for Bob and Deb life got really exciting for a while. When we were all safely back at the ranch we could honestly say it was all worth it, but there were moments...
Marsha took the picture at the right of Scott and Sam's new house. It was a view we had as we came down the mountain. What a beautiful setting they have. We traveled over to the house and got to see the progress. Things are moving along well and their whole family is certainly looking forward to actually being in the home.
Scott and Sam then made us a wonderful dinner and there was some terrific after-dinner entertainment. Katie and Sam had worked on a stick puppet play of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. It was so fun and we were most impressed with the performance. Then the 3 kids sang a song for us that they have learned in their voice lessons. So cute-it made Grandma Debbie cry!
We stayed overnight at a hotel in Nephi and headed back to St, George this afternoon.
We had a lazy afternoon with take out pizza for supper. Tomorrow will be a low key affair as well and then on Sunday morning we will head for Las Vegas for our last couple days before the Andersons head back to Wisconsin. Hard to believe our week is nearly over. It has been great fun.
Toodles to everyone.
Bob, Deb, Roger and Marsha
