Girls just wanna have fun

As part of my last big Hurrah before going back to school, Trey and I went to lunch with my Grandma, my mom, my sister, and my cutie nephew Preston. I LOVE girls days! Girls days + our handsome little guys of course :). Trey did great until we ended up at The Quilted Bear. Apparently he shares his dad's feelings about shopping. Oh well :)

Dark nights and tin foil dinners...

A couple of weeks ago we went up to the mountains with the grand plan of making tin foil dinners and roasting marshmallows. We didn't anticipate it being dark by the time we got our dinners in the fire. I guess that happens when you don't get to your picnic site until 8:30 at night. My mom and sister were driving up from Parowan and were meeting us there. I guess it shouldn't have been a huge shocker when I called her at 4:00 and she said she was just leaving :). Needless to say, we didn't get to each much of our dinner. The site we were dining at had a 10:00 curfew. We had to dine and dash. Of course, Dale, the master Tin Foil Dinner chef, didn't get much dining in while he was taking care of everyone else. We ended up stopping at Taco Bell on the way home. Next time we're doing a picnic during the day :).

The Zoo

I'm a little bit behind with the whole blogging thing. We actually went to the zoo at the very end of July. Trey was only a month old...needless to say, he didn't get much out of it. My favorite part? When the gorilla freaked out and banged on the glass. That made the trip worth it :). That, plus the cute pic of Trey with his little cousin Kelsey!

Day Dates

I LOVE day dates. I think I even like them more than night dates. On a day date you get to go to the movies AND lunch, because you can do it cheap by hitting up the matinae and the 2 for 1 lunch special. On day dates you get to spend MORE time with your sweet little baby and your incredible husband because you have ALL DAY instead of a 10:00 curfew so you can get up for work the next morning. On day dates you get to bypass crowded restaurants and skip rush hour traffic. AND...on day dates you get to spend time in the SUN! :)

Today Dale and I went on the best day date! We started with picking up a delectable Jamba Juice, then went to the Planetarium and watched "Sea Rex". Trey was a champ at the movie, but screamed his little heart out on the way there. Luckily he made up for it by flashing us his adoring smile during lunch at Applebees. I LOVE Trey smiles :). After lunch we picked up some chocolate and caramel covered pretzels at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and spent an hour watching the kids (and a cute little grandpa :) get soaked at the water show. On the way home Dale dazzled us with his Kermit the Frog and Theodore the Chipmunk impressions :). Can you see why I love day dates!? What a great way to spend a Thursday!
