The BEST part about living away from home....

My dad came to visit us for the weekend! It was so much fun to be able to have my dad all to ourselves and just hang out! This is definitely a benefit to living out of state because usually my dad is very busy with work or chuch stuff that we never get to just hang out for the entire weekend back in Utah. But since we were in West Virginia there were no meetings or appointments my dad had to go to so we could really party it up! I loved not having to share him with anybody! On Friday we rode the PRT (a wierd car with no driver) downtown for dinner and an art walk. I was so excited for the art walk but it turned out it was a bit of a bust. Most people were just there to get free wine and so it was over crowded and not very good art pieces. So we went home and played the Wii and watched BYU get killed... GO AGGIES! It turns out my dad is quite the gamer- which we never knew- and killed us in Wii basketball! Saturday we woke up early and went to the student rec center and played racketball- which again he killed me in! Then we went on a hike to a lookout where Jake became adventurous and tried to climb in between rocks only to get stuck becuase he couldn't move his hump in his back. I could tell his sugar was going low and he could not move. I was pretty panicked especially when the rock he moved to broke off and tumbled down the cliff but luckily he made it out eventually. It was so much fun to have my dad in West Virginia and show him our stomping grounds!
