Lunch was Okay. We had the halibut and fries. I’m spoiled with Neils halibut and fries, and these were good, but not Neils. So, I shouldn’t compare. So, were they good? Yes, they were good, and I would come back again. But I would choose Neils first 🙂
Hot and ready.
For dessert we stopped at Krispy Kreme. Eli has never experienced hot and ready. Funny, because the first and only time Paul and I have had hot and ready was when we were out of the state picking up Eli. He was a week old the last time I had these. It sure was fun to eat one with him 🙂
We were all here today 🙂
Had to throw this little guy in here. Not everyday you see a walking leaf!
Paul and Eli were out of town this weekend, so I had the house to myself. I had so much I wanted to do and so little time 🙂
I started my weekend by doing a good deed. Going through the key drop delivery, Nicholas dropped off take out containers that we didn’t order. After letting Nicholas know, they told us to just keep it. This is a common tale I have told before 🙂
We don’t have any use for these containers, so we gave both boxes to the Asian place next to us. In return, they gave us a free dinner. Vegetarian sushi. Not sure what the yellow and orange vegetables were, but they were sweet and very tasty. Monday when I get back to work, I’m going to run over there and ask them. This is what I’m going to be eating next Friday for dinner!
Saturday morning, I slept in 🙂 Went for a run for the first time in 3 weeks. It was brutal. I couldn’t make it to my water breaks. I had to walk many times! I need to make time to run in the evenings.
That afternoon I ran errands and went shopping. I went to the library, TJmaxx, Eddie Bauer, Loft, Walmart, and Sam’s club. ALL without hearing about some complaint. When I got out of the car I kept looking back thinking I have left something. When I got into the stores, I looked at my hands knowing I wasn’t holding enough, but nope, I had my cell phone and keys. Then I realized I was missing my little boy’s hand!!
When I got home, I went into my sewing room to clean up a bit, and I spotted this! Little Pea’s cat boy car. I sure love a clean house, but I miss my little boy.
That evening, my parents picked me up and we went to Zander’s real estate open house. They were the ones who helped us purchase our property. They had fun family games, live music, and food. I couldn’t resist free, or food, so we went for dinner.
Since we purchased a property through them, I was a VIP 🙂 What did that mean? That meant we could go to VIP room and enjoy the dessert table. Almond crinkle for dessert.
After dinner we met up with Bryan and Shayna…
Shayna’s parents and Mitchell…
…and went to the demolition derby. We purchased tickets for the last row on the top of the bleachers. At first I thought this was a bad idea being so far away, but it turned out to be perfect! We were able to stand without worrying about anyone behind us. The only thing we need to next year is make sure we are closest to the isle. It was nice to get in and out without crawling over everyone.
Fun night. We have plans to do it again next year!
Sunday I made dinners for the week, and got caught up on work stuff. It was an enjoyable weekend, but I miss my two boys. Can’t wait to have them home again!
Today’s lunch, we started out with dessert first. Provo bakery.
Now that we are not going to Bountiful for donuts at Dicks, we need to find another bakery with an old fashioned donut. Well, this place wasn’t it. It didn’t have any taste and I threw most of it away.
The icing filled croissants were the best!! I will go back for these.
After dessert we went to Tommy’s Burger for lunch. We were a little nervous when we drove up. As we were thinking about leaving, 4 missionaries came up and said this was an excellent place to eat. While they were ordering, two other people showed up. So we ordered.
The missionaries were right. Everything we ordered was really good! I got my fill of fry sauce, so I was happy!
That evening we went to the Real soccer game.
We went with my parents who are Real fans. notice their attire. It was also pouring rain. By the time we left our pants were soaked. We had a good time, and the butterfly did make it across the field- without the referee’s help. 🙂
We turned left onto trail 406 and rove on this trail until the end to the pond.
This was supposed to be a lake, but it was soooo small, we couldn’t call it a lake so we named it the Beaver Pond. I failed to take a picture of the house, but there is an abandoned beaver house to the left.
We set up camp.
Paul and Eli went fishing. No fish in this pond 🙂
This is a beautiful area, but the pine beetles really got to the pine trees this year. A lot of dead around this pond.
That night in the tent we played a few rounds of Spot it! and then we went to bed.
The next morning, we packed up and headed out. Just a short little trip.
