House Hunters

One of Derek's favorite channels is HGTV and one of his favorite shows is House Hunters. We both enjoy seeing what is out there in the housing market, even though we're not actually shopping for a home. We still love our place -- we've only been in it about a year and a half. Still its fun to look, hence my excitement over the annual Parade of Homes.
This year my Mom, Dad, Karen, Mike and Kate came to St. George for the event. Unfortunately Derek was still sick and didn't end up coming along, but I filled him in on some of the most extravagant homes -- like the one with a full basketball court, full raquetball court, climbing wall, and two-level gym in the BASEMENT! It was incredible! By far the most elaborate house, coming in at a measly 15,000 square feet. Can you imagine?!
We had great day trapsing in and out of luxury we will never afford, but at the end of the day I was happy to go home to our cozy abode :)

Our new home! Just kidding.

The picture is not great, but this is the stairs leading to the basketball court in the basement.

Another house had a kids area with pretend stables.
