My Parental Units Came to Visit ♥

So my parents have missed me like crazy [and I'm not gonna lie I missed them SOOOOO much too], so they came to visit us!! They got here on Thursday evening because my dad had a business meeting in Henderson. I took the day at work cuz I wasn't feeling too great [and im not gonna lie, having my parents here didn't really push me to really WANT to go to work]. On Thursday night we all stayed in and watched the SHARKS game [BEST TEAM EVER] and turned my parents on to the wonderful game of Hockey. We watched them slaughter the Calgary Flame[r]s [bwahaha] and ordered some pizza!! Yesterday, after Michael got off work, we went ZION NATIONAL PARK!!.. Well, actually we just kind of drove through one of the parts cuz we were too late to take a tour bus [lol] . So we paid to get in, drove about 5 miles in, stopped one place to take a picture to prove we were there....
.... turned around and came back out. We had heard of this little ghost town named Grafton so , being the prepared WONDERFUL husband that he is, Michael BUSTED OUT this paper of how to get to Grafton from Zion!! SOOO off we went. Left, right, right.. ANDDD we see this little sign that says "Grafton Cemetary".. creeeepy.It was open... so we went in. It was sad cuz some of the people were killed by Indians and others were children who died of diphtheria and scarlet fever :( . After we were done seeing the dead Graftonites [?]. We continued down the road in search of Grafton.. the ACTUAL little town.. and lo' and behold in the distance we could see a little .... somethin'.There WAS a ghost town!! It was so awesome to walk around and see the little houses and a church and school and what looked like some sort of town hall? We weren't sure cuz not everything was labeled [some of it was being renovated... boo.. I like the original stuff] Town Hall ... maybe... In our world it was lol


This was the Church and the school... it was for sure cuz we
read it ...

In the process of finding the ghost town... we realized that the real estate in Grafton is AWESOME!!! SOOOO....
..we bought!

And my parents are moving in too!


We decided to move on from this spot and see the rest of Grafton, so we got in our car... started driving down the street and we saw the most amazing thing! Off, in the distance, we saw a weird looking creature.. we couldn't really pinpoint what it was but it was tall and lanky and had some sort of a "humanly" figure to it.. I took out my camera and zoomed in.. Yep... we KNEW it....


BIGFOOT!!!




We let the dear creature roam in peace... knowing they could get vicious when they are hor... umm.. hungry.. We finally got to an area that was closed/fenced off. When Michael was getting his hair cut last week the girl that was cutting his hair said that she had gone in the basement of one of the Grafton houses.. we thought it was the "Town Hall" house, so we were angry when the basement was closed off. Being the obedient adults that we are, we hopped the fence and went into the house, hoping that it wasn't locked like the last house.

Isn't it scary lookin?

Well we walked right up to the house and looked around "explored" [take note of this word]... this one was open and the basement actually had no door. It was actually cute... horribly scary.. but cute!!!


Can you tell how scared we really are?? [Lol]


We decided to call it a night and say bye to our cute little town.. knowing that Michael will drag me back with his friends at night to "explore" which is code word for "scare the crap out of Donna".

We went home and my dad made his famous spaghetti for us and we allll went peacefully to sleep....


THE END...


LOVE Y'ALL!!♥,

Donna and Mike

i saw your mom tonight at katie rockwood's wedding reception, and she was talking to me about this post. she told me she almost peed her pants laughing when she read it, and especially liked the picture of mike acting like bigfoot. so my vote is that you blow that up to like 11x14 size and hang it on their mantle or something, so that she can crack up at it everyday! hahaha. i hope you're liking st. george and that because you're living there now that that'll mean we'll get to see you more often around here!
