St. George parade of homes

February 25th, 2009

Jimmy and I went to St. George last Friday and Saturday to see the homes in the parade down there. We had so much fun, but it was weird going somewhere without Zeke. We missed him, but he had so much fun with cousins at Aunt Shirlley’s and Grandma’s houses.

A lot of the homes were very different, they seemed like space homes, or adobes.

We loved the red sandy tones of St. George, and the views were so beautiful!

We almost bought this house, but we decided it was just a little over the top ;-) Check out some of its features…

In the basement it had a half size basketball court, rock climbing wall, golf putting green, and not shown in this picture was a racquetball court, and two home gyms, all in the basement! The whole house felt like a theme park, it was really fun to walk through!

The pool reminded us of the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. Back in the cave, there is a hot tub, and a theater room! We thought this house was definitely the coolest of all at the parade this year.

We were planning on attending the St. George Temple, but it was closed for maintenance. So we  were only able to take pictures. Neither of us have been inside it, and we were excited to go, I guess we’ll try again next time.

    Wow–it all looks AMAZING. When Kevin’s parents were realtors down there, Kevin and I would go into the model homes and pretend they were ours! Playing house is fun.
