The Rest of The Worth Visit: Ashby Picnic, David's Emergency, and a few SLC Restaurants

After our Lava Hot Springs Reunion, a few Worth families milled around in Salt Lake City for a few days. It was so nice to have some visitors.

Here are a few of the things that went on:

• We had a special visit from "Karen," which my mom blogged about already.
• Carl introduced us to some fun games with little pyramid pieces, which we found out were even more interesting to play by candle/flash-light, when the power went out for a few days… oops, I mean hours. (Note to self: Time to do all that emergency-preparedness stuff you know you should be figuring out.)
• Since my parents were in town, my mom's siblings (the Ashbys) had a little family picnic. It was pretty fun, aside from the presence of about a million bees. One of them managed to find its way onto David's food and into his mouth where it proceeded to sting his tongue! At least, that is what we think happened. I was holding him when he started crying, and spit some food out, and I just thought he was having a hard time swallowing. It took about a half hour of our sweet little guy (who is "usually so happy!") crying and screaming before we finally could see that his tongue was swollen; we then rushed him to an Instacare facility. Luckily it was very nearby, since by the time we got there, he was having trouble breathing. They quickly gave him a shot, which took effect quite quickly.
  
  Here he is just after arrivingHere he is three minutes later The mystery remained: did he get stung on the mouth, or did he get stung somewhere else and have an allergic reaction? The next day we could see marks on his tongue, so we're pretty sure that's where it happened. Thank goodness everything turned out ok.
• We went with Carl and Stacy, their kids, and our kids to Liberty Park to play in the water. Of course, we had to take them to Cafe Rio first!
• Carl and Chris babysat one night so Stacy and I could go out. We went to Ruth's Diner, up emigration canyon. If you go there, be sure to read the history of the diner on the back of the menu. Also be sure to order the Bacon Bleu Burger. Also plan on craving it every day for the rest of your life.
  
• My Dad very generously took some time to walk around our house with us and teach us how to do some little fix-it jobs (it is becoming painfully obvious that our homeowner's warranty has expired).
  
• My mom, dad, Chris, and I went out to PF Changs. This is one of our favorite restaurants, and we had such a nice visit with them.
• We sadly said goodbye to all our visitors!
