Tonight was a blast. First of all the food was to die for, I especially LOVED the crab cakes, John's favorite was the beef skewers. The food was cooked by the Fitness Ridge chef, "chef Cameron". I love all of his food that he cooks at the spa, but he definitely outdid himself.

Here is Cindy (one of FR hiking guides)

We played a really fun game with presents we each came with. We stood in a circle, and Cam read a story about the right(pass your gift right) present, as they left the ? (pass your present left), and at the end of the story, I ended up with the cutest little coffee cups, I won't use the coffee, but the cups are so cute Lydia will love to use them as a little tea set. John got a cute necklace I can use. :)

Maryann and Clayton and their gifts.


This game, we worked as couples to try and wrap and tie a ribbon on a present using one hand, we almost won.

Ok, we had to blow up 12 balloons, put them in a nylon, put them on one of our team members head, and sing 'Rudolph the red nosed reindeer". We won

Ok the last game took 16 or so minutes; a candle in a ball of ice cream; the last candle burning won a night's stay in SLC, and a pair of Jazz tickets. We didn't win :(

We had a wonderful time, I love to be able to work with and live so close to my sisters.

Leanne- Part of the reason I've waited so long to thank you is how busy we've been with Cash and how sick he's been and the other reason is how embarrassed I was that tob did that. Sweet that he was thinking of me and trying to make me happy but so embarrassing! Thank you so so much for sending me that hat and darling outfit. For some crazy reason it meant so much to me and I was so sad we lost it at the hospital. I have an official thank you card for you but am waiting to put one more thing in it but just wanted to tell you thank you so much! Hope to see you soon. You're the best! Love, Josie
