BSW Moved to their Dream House!

alternate title: Saying Goodbye

Ben and Suz bought a townhouse (7 minutes from us!) to live in while their house in St. George was being built, planning to rent the townhouse out once they move.  It was so great to have them so close!  We tried to take advantage of the proximity while we could since we knew it was a temporary arrangement.  And though we're so happy for them to finally be in their dream house and glad that we're still just a few hours apart, it's sad to not have them nearby anymore.

Whit joined us at the Curiosity Museum one afternoon while Suz's family was making final preparations for their move a few days later.  We were there for two hours but of course by the time we were leaving the kids were scrambling to keep exploring the Mazes & Brain Games area we visited at the end.  We might just have to go back one of these days.

Eliza took the water structure construction very seriously,
until she came up with the idea of filling the rain boots with water...

and splashing around in them.

Sloth hang!

It was fun to give Whit his early birthday present - a Strange Planet
picture book about cats that is really cute and funny.

Suz's family came over for one more family dinner the night before their move, which also meant one more fort for Whit and Luke, and one more game of Telestrations for the bigger people.

Also not sure what's happening in this picture but I wanted
to document it too.  Tying up Whit with scripture dress-up items...?

Moving day!  Ben, Cat, and Dustin provided some extra muscle and the other kids and I came later on to help with cleaning and food.  Thank goodness they aren't going TOO far away or saying goodbye would have been even harder.

I'm still not sure why the boys were dropping grass on Cat but I thought it worth documenting.

Hooray for the new house!
