Anniversary Getaway!

Ryan and I really needed some serious alone time! ;) So while Ryan's mom was in town she told us we should take off and leave the girls with her and go and enjoy ourselves, and we did exactly that! It was totally spontaneous! We left just a few hours after we talked about it and drove down to Utah. We stayed with my sister, April and her husband, Josh the first night. Had a great time visiting with them! The next day we headed to LAGOON!! We had a blast! Lagoon is such a fun place to go and get unstressed from everyday life!

All the screaming we did from the crazy-"I'm going to die!" rides really wears you out! So we took a break and did some slow easy rides for awhile...here we are riding the train around the park.


Again another slow ride...the Ferris Wheel

Ryan showing off his skills...well sort of...we didn't win anything besides a little frog and spent close to $10 trying! It is the thought that counts, right? Anyway, with no luck winning a BIG prize we took our left-over money to the gift shop and got a few things there for the girls and Mom.After our non-stop screaming,"I'm going to die!!" rides, great food and many laughs we decided we were exhausted and went to check in at our hotel.

We then decided to go and see the Dark Knight! For those that have seen it, wasn't that such a dark and evil movie?? We are still not sure if we liked it...it was a little much and took the spirit away! But I do have to say, that the acting done by everyone especially the Joker, (Heath Ledger) was incredible!

-After the movie we went and grabbed some dinner and headed back to our hotel room and watched the end of the Olympics!

How fun! Christy, you should have told me your were going to Lagoon - although sounds like it was very spur of the moment, so I'll forgive you. I just threw away my coupons after trying to no avail to find someone who could use them! Aw, well. Looks like you guys had fun - how can you not when it's just you and your honey?! Oh, it was fun to see you last night. You'll have to come to the pool (seriously, even though Shantaila and Emily were bikinis, my swim suit covers me from neck to mid-thigh, so no worries there) or scrap booking with us sometime!

What a fun trip! I would love to get away with Troy like that! Looks like you had a lot of fun-we still missed you at the lunch though. :)

Happy Anniversary! I knew it was mid-August-ish. What a romantic and relaxing time you had together, those are precious moments.
I don't know which is worse, Ryan's "scary" face or the movie itself! ha
Glad that you had an enjoyable day!

Thanks! Our anniversary is actually not till the 31st, but it was our only chance to getaway!

Andrea- It was good to see you to the last week too! I wished I could have stayed longer, I felt bad for having to take off so early! I am glad that you guys threw Emily a little shower though. She needs some girly things! Oh and swimming does sound fun, I just need to get a swim suit first! I have been putting it off all summer long, and now summer is almost over! Or scrapbooking would be fun TOO!

Looks like some fun!! Did you guys enjoy the ride Wicked at Lagoon?? We loved it! Glad you guys could get some time away! Every couple needs it! (that's what I hear anyways.....)

You guys are such a fun couple! I did hear that Dark knight was a little too dark. We're not going to see it. My friend Natasha said she saw you guys at your parent's ward. She kept saying how nice you guys are! :)
