this post is, again, backtracking about our summer. In May my friend Maria came out to visit us. I met her when I lived in Philadelphia, and she became my best Philly friend. She belonged to the 7th day adventist church, and I loved to hang out with her mom and brother as well.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures while she was out here, but we did do some fun things.
The first day she was here, we thought we would treat her to some Mexican food, as the Mexican food on the east coast isn't quite so good. I know Cafe Rio isn't really amazingly authentic, but it sure gets a lot of raves so that's where we went:
Later, we went over to where Christy's husband Jason works. He works for a way rich guy that lives up Hobble Creek Canyon. We had the privelige of trying out the human sling shot. Maria passed on the whole harness thing, but she had a lot of fun riding around with Christy on the oversized go-cart:
Todd's brother Dan and his wife Kelsey came with us too. Kelsey was the brave first one to go:
I was way excited to go. I love this kind of thing!
by the time Todd went it was pretty dark, so we couldn't get any really good shots.
Here is Christy and Maria drivin' crazy:
Later in the week, we had the opportunity to take Maria to Temple Sqaure. We brought along my friend Ashely, who I also met in Philadelphia but is actually from West Jordan. She is now on a mission. We watched the Joseph Smith movie, had a private tour of the Conference Center, and went to the Christus statue and the family presentation. It was nice.
On the way hom we stopped by and went out to eat, then played some card games with Grandma and Grandpa Faber. It was fun, and I was glad Maria could meet some more of my family. Unfortunatly, I didn't take any pictures.
On Friday night, the night before Maria went home, we held a barbeque at my parents' house. Unfortunately, Maria wasn't feeling well so she couldn't participate in much of the fun. But I was glad she was able to mingle with my friends and family.
