Camera MIA

 So I've been wanting to post about our quick day trip to Utah for a while, but our camera has been MIA and what good is a post without pictures, right? :) And these were definitely worth waiting for! We decided to take a trip to Utah for mainly two reasons: check out some couches and find an upright freezer. We left around 9:30 and had a pretty good drive down. Looked at the freezer we had found and liked it, but we needed to see what the deal was with the couches on whether it would be worth it to come back for it with the truck.

 After the freezer, we took the kiddos to Cabela's to see the giant fish they have there. This is seriously the largest fish tank outside of a zoo/aquarium you are ever going to find! And the best part? It's free!! Amy had a great time checking out the fish. Sam, on the other hand, was old enough this time to be scared that the fish were going to eat him.

 But with Daddy around, it was ok :)

 Not the best picture ever, but that face is priceless! She kept saying something between "ohh" and "ahh" the whole time! :)

 A really neat old-fashioned gas pump

 And looking at the stuffed animals, which aren't as cool as the gigantic fish, but still worth lookin'. And in case you were wondering, the couches didn't work out, which means we aren't going back for the freezer, either. Bummer. But, we did find a campchef for $63 at the Bargain Cave at Cabela's and we got to visit Auntie Candace and Kinley for a little while before heading back home. It was a long day, but successful and fun to spend time together as a family.

Then this last weekend, my great sister-in-law came down from Rexburg to tend the kiddos so I could go to a baby shower and then to a super Saturday for my old ward where I had signed up to do some quiet books for the kids and I learned how to fold these fun little things. It takes some time, but I think they are pretty awesome looking!! This week we are keeping busy with preschool, Young Womens, visiting teaching, and getting ready for Thanksgiving and Robert's family coming to visit. I'm excited to host the big dinner at my home this year, although I am ever so grateful I don't have to do it all myself (14 people for the big meal - ack!!)!! Stacey (SIL in Rexburg) and I have been plotting meals, activities, and table decorations - it's going to be a (crazy) blast!!
