Celebration

This year Dale and I have made all sorts of financial goals, and we have been working super hard to meet them.  This week we hit one of our goals, and as a reward we decided to spend an entire day having FUN together.  We started off a little rocky.  I thought for sure we had Trey's shoes in the diaper bag...no such luck.  We also forgot the stroller.  If you've ever had a 1 year old you know what a monumental mistake this is.  There was no way we were going to make it on our day of fun without it.  So, we hit up the Wal Mart in Provo for a pair of shoes and a stroller...and some blueberries, because right now Dale is super obsessed about blueberries.  No joke, we go to the store at least 4 times a week to get them.  If you want to be Dale's best friend, buy him a carton of blueberries.  He will love you forever :).  Our first mini vacation destination stop was at the Riverwoods.  I'd never been there before. They were having the Chalk the Block celebration, which was really fun to see.  Some random people gave us their chalk, so we participated too...check out our amazing artistic skills :).

We bought Trey a balloon dragon, thinking he would love it.  He did not...and it ended up being the biggest pain for us to tote around.  It was the worst $5 we ever spent.  Finally I gave it to a random kid we passed by.  He was thrilled, and so were we.

Dale found a new love while we were out.  It's called "The Texas Twister".  It's some kind of fresh fruit mixture.

After the chalk festival we hit up Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point.  Apparently Trey is still a little young for it...he just wanted to run down the sidewalks...couldn't have cared less about most of the animals.  He did have a brief encounter with a very friendly colt, and touched the goat because we made him, but other than that he didn't even notice they were there.  

 Dale made me touch the goat.  It smelled awful.  

He found a stick.  Of course.

 The friendliest colt I've ever met.  We have the cutest video of him licking Trey :).

 I love this mischievous smile :)

After the farm we were starving, so to end our day of fun we went to Olive Garden for dinner.  FYI, the peach chicken is fabulous!  Great day!  Now we can't wait to meet our next goal!
