On Friday it was the Father's and Sons camp out. Mike and the boys had a lot of fun with the rest of the male population of our ward up American Fork Canyon. They went fishing at the reservoir where Hunter caught 2 fish. Luckily I insisted that Chase bring some extra clothing because as usual he fell in the river. Thank goodness for Moms!
It was supposed to rain, but they had a great clear evening. Mike said he woke up in the morning and couldn't hear any rain and thought they had escaped the storm. A few minutes later the Bishop came by to announce that breakfast had been cancelled because it was snowing. Mike came out of the tent and there was 3-4" of snow on his truck! They took down the tent poles and just threw the whole tent and it's contents in the back of the truck and took off down the canyon. They ended up going to Kneaders for breakfast with a few of the other Dads and their boys. Chase and Hunter probably didn't mind as long as they were able to have pancakes!
Whenever the boys are gone we feel like we need to have a Girls Night. This year we went to Olive Garden for dinner, Michela loves the salad and breadsticks. Afterwards we went looking for this new Cupcake place. I think it is called the Cocoa Bean. It is also a Coffee/Drink shop. They had so many yummy cupcakes to choose from so we got six different kinds to sample. The cupcakes are pretty big so we had plenty to share with the boys the next day. Here's a picture of the delicious cupcakes.
The flavors we got were "Dirty Turtle" (Mint Chocolate", Orange Dreamsicle, Marbled Chocolate, Raspberry Chocolate, Red Velvet (My Favorite), and Ultimate Brownie. I think the Ultimate Brownie would have been my favorite if I could have eaten it. It was brownie on the bottom, cheesecakes on the top with a marshmallow in the middle. The kids were in heaven! Aria loved the Dirty Turtle. Basically she loved the frosting. She called it Ice Cream.
After cupcakes we got in our jammies and watched "The Spy Next Door". It is a kids movie with Jackie Chan. I wouldn't be giving this movie 2 thumbs up any time soon but Michela and Aria thought it was pretty funny. At least they were happy! Next year we'll be able to include Peanut in our Girls Night!

Fun! And that's cool that you went to the Cocoa Bean! My friend in our ward started it in Rexburg. It's a fun place!
Look like fun! I can't believe it snowed on the boys! I would hear a lot of complaining from Russ if that was the case out here. hehe. But, he slept in the van with Logan so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. :) Hmmm, that cupcake place looks great...might have to give it a try when we're out, and you can finally eat the ultimate brownie. Can't wait to meet little peanut!
