Martin Luther King Jr Holiday

Lamoni and I didn't not have to work on Monday so celebrated by trying something new. In one of his classes Lamoni heard about this new place in the Riverwoods. It is called Provo Beach Resort and it was quite the experience. They have a ropes course, an arcade, a beautiful carousel, a bowling alley, miniature croquet, and an indoor wave! The wave was definitely our favorite and we didn't even try it out (too expensive). It was really neat to look out the glass windows at the snow but be nice and warm and humid watching people surf in their swimsuits.

Then we decided to walk around Riverwoods and we (foolishly) went in to Williams Sonoma. Lamoni repeatedly asked me, "Why did you bring me in here if we have no money?!" I think it is his new favorite store and he wanted a full set of copper cookware and all the little gadgets that make you raise your eyebrows with incredulity. We ended up spending about 15 minutes in front of the discounted item table and bought some yummy fancy ingredients.

After that experience we were both starving so we decided to try out Malawi's Pizza. We loved it but decided that one personal pizza would have been enough for both of us. We liked the decor and were pleasantly surprised to find out that it is a non-profit restaurant and helps to fight hunger in Malawi. Who knew?

Eating some delicious Malawi's.


Lamoni took about 50 pictures in Williams Sonoma but I did not want to post them all.

Nelson

During our quick visit to Boulder City for Grandpa Sargeant's birthday we took a small motor home trip out to our favorite desert mock ghost town, Nelson!





Grandpa Sargeant's Birthday

We very much enjoyed our quick weekend trip to see Grandpa Sargeant for his birthday! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so all we had was Lamoni's ipod. And we didn't even get any pictures of Grandpa but we got some good videos!


(singing to Grandpa. We had a Chinese food feast - his favorite!)

Included in the festivities (but not planned) was a costume party and an animal parade. We got a video of the animal parade but I didn't post it because I'm making an awkward bird cry - supposedly a tucan....anway....





(Lamoni and I crack up every time we watch this. We call it "Sydney vs Aubrey")
