Kat's Visit

So, almost 10 years ago I was a camp couselor at a Girl Scout summer camp (3 different camps, actually). I can honestly say it was one of the most awesome summers of my life. I made some great memories and some great friends. Some months ago, one of these friends contacted me to say she would be in town around the beginning of September, so we made some plans with another "counselor" friend of ours and had a great weekend.


Thursday:
We met for lunch and then did some sightseeing downtown. All of us outside the Visitor's Center.


After sightseeing, we headed up to Ensing Peak (as if it were a piece of cake, with one 8month prego girl, and two wee ones, ha ha ha!)

Kat and I made it to the top with the little ones. :) WAHOO! I did it :D

Just so you know, this is the mountaineer stroller I used all the way to the top.

Celebratory ice cream!

Friday:

We stopped to eat lunch at this park close to Brigham City on our way to The Spiral Jetty.

It was way the heck out there...32 miles east of Brigham City (and most of that on dirt/gravel roads). I'm calling family with birthday wishes in this shot.


When we got to this Spiral Jetty place, we had to wait because this man...excuse me, "Artist", was in the middle of creating his art. He was dressed from head to toe in the mirror suit he had created. Then he was videoing himself in this suit walking backwards around the entire jetty, and then once he got to the end/center, he walked back out again but in the same direction he went in (so frontwards). When we got there, he had just barely started and since this suit was extremely heavy and because the terrain was rocky he had to walk exaggeratedly slow so as not to fall and break it/ruin his art video. Really interesting...

Saturday:

We found this park to have lunch at (seeing a theme here?).

Ahh...the Bear bench at Park City :)


Sunday:

We all made some great food and ate at our place, ok mostly Kat made the delicious food. It was SO good! We had steak and chicken ka-bobs, corn on the cob, some awesome garlic bread, a greek(?) salad (it had cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onions, feta cheese and an italian type dressing), and chocolate tarts for dessert. Ok, so I'm salivating now thinking about all that yummy food :)

It was such nice weather that day!

We played a really fun game and had a nice time hanging out with the guys for a change.

Monday:

We just couldn't let Kat leave without trying our Cafe Rio, so once again we pulled out a blanket and found a nice park to eat at before dropping her off at the airport. It was some kind of fun to have her here...
