Fall Break Fun with the Larsen Clan

My family had a few days off from school so we decided to gather the entire family together for a few days of fun and relaxation.  Jason and I took off Wednesday afternoon and booked it as fast as we could to St. George where we met up with my parents, Jori, Jared and Annie.

The main event was continuing a Larsen tradition of seeing a play at the outdoor theater (Tuacahn) there.  This year we chose to go see Tarzan.  I have always been impressed with the shows we've seen there and this was no exception.  With zip lines and acrobatic "gorillas" this show was half musical, half circus.  Definitely worth the effort!

The next morning we got up and going and loaded back into the cars in order to make our way down to Mesa, AZ where Ashley and Taylor are currently living.  Once we had the whole family together, we checked into the rental home and just enjoyed each other's company.  We had some barbecues, carved pumpkins (a Larsen Halloween must), and had some extended family over for a pool party.  So fun!

We said goodbye to my family early Sunday morning and eventually made our way to my friend Laurel's where she made us some of her delicious omelettes.  Mmm!  Sadly the vacation had to come to an end, but we sure enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to getting together with everyone again for Thanksgiving!
