After Tucanos, we headed up the canyon to stay at a Trendwest resort in Heber. It was a very nice hotel with a loft. Jackie came across her first near death experience of the weekend upon arrival. She attempted to slide down the loft spiral rail...and well, half way down she slid down on her back. Thus, Near death experience #1. We played guitar hero alot, me, until my head was dizzy and fuzzy...which doesn't take much these days...everyone made cards, and we played phase 10. Jackie and I went to the store to get some stuff for breakfast and near death experience #2 occurred.....As I was telling Jackie about the movie "Fallen" where at the end this "evil" spirit enters a cat....and just then a black cat was in the middle of the road...and almost ran out in front of us..luckily it didn't cross our path....but we got home unharmed...and played more games. Oh yeah, and we ate lots of candy apples, mint cookies, and Costco cookies...yum. Gaylee arrived about midnight, and we all visited with her...then some of us went to bed, and some well, didn't of course. Friday we woke up, some went swimming, some played more phase 10...then we left to go shopping at the outlets. Fun, but tiring...we finally finished shopping and headed to the Olive Garden for dinner.
After dinner, we went bowling, where Jackie had near death experience #3, when she almost followed her own gutter ball, down the gutter. haha. After bowling, we convinced four lovely Asian ladies to stay after hours and give 8 of us pedicures. They were so nice and did a GREAT job.
After pedicures we headed to the Desert Star Theatre to see "Scary Poppins." The Desert Star Theatre is a dinner theatre where they do plays that are "spoofs" on other shows. It was soooo much fun. The show was really funny and entertaining....we had great drinks and pizza, and snacks, and had a great time. Most of the weekend, Pam wasn't feeling too well, so by now, at the theatre, she really didn't fell, so Ben came and got her and took her to get checked and make sure she was okay. (Thankfully, she was and it was nothing too serious!) But we were sad she couldn't enjoy the wonderful weekend she planned. And the play she bought our tickets to... the play was probably our favorite part of the weekend, thanks Pam. After the play, we went back to our hotel and we played more games, and finally went to bed. Saturday we woke up made hair bows, packed up, went to see the crater in Heber, went to Wingers and then home. 
It was such a fun weekend. Thanks Pam for planning it, and It was fun hanging out with everyone who came. We really missed those who couldn't. Hopefully, next time, we can all be there.
