Back to What?!

I'm starting to realize that school is starting a lot sooner than I think. I've kind of been in the "summer lasts forever" mode and all of a sudden I'm getting notices about back to school night next week. Next week!? That's just crazy talk! I'll have 2 in school this year and Britton will be gone all day long. I think it will take some time to adjust to the change.

We went to Logan yesterday to check on the house. My siblings who are in still in town wanted to see it so we did a few other fun things in Logan and made a day of it. The kids loved spending time on the grounds of the Logan Temple.

We had lunch on the grass by the Logan Tabernacle. Britton had fun with the monument.
We even made it to the Willow Park Zoo. Um, I use the term "zoo" loosely here. It is a zoo, but you put .50 for kids and 1.00 for adults into a little box to get in (it is totally on the honor system, no one is there to monitor this) . There are monkeys and a few other cool animals to go along with all of the many, many, birds. It you like fowls then the Willow Park Zoo is the place for you! It is a great way to kill an hour or so and the kids loved it.

Last night I went shopping until 11:00 p.m. with my sister Libbie. Yes, you read it right, I went shopping late. My 2 favorite things in the whole wide world--shopping (gag) and staying up late (ugh). What would make me do such a silly thing? My sister Libbie, of course. It was the only time she could go and there was a sale and I had an additional 30% coupon which was going to save her a ton on her much needed warm clothing for Vermont and it's back to school time for me, blah, blah, blah. I know, I know, I'm SUCH a nice sister. :-) I felt it this morning but we both got a lot of great deals so it was all good. It's such an out of character thing to do I thought I should at least document it. Never say never, I guess. I'm just full of surprises.

Sounds like a quality time in Cache Valley. I'm sure you will love life there but yes some things will take adjusting...big city zoo vs. Logan zoo... etc. They did finally get a decent swimming pool a few years ago!

Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad! Thanks for the coupon and moonlighting it for my sake! We will be warmer this winter because of you!

I'll shop for you next time!! I love shopping and what is better than shopping with someone else's money! Gosh, we will miss you when you move -- you guys are great. Don't rush out of here -- take your time. :-)
