ALOHA!

Last Saturday we hosted a Lethal Luau Murder Mystery dinner party. We have never done one or even been to one, so let's just say it was a "learning experience." We had a feast thanks to everybody helping out with the food. Dinner included coconut shrimp, chicken teriyaki
with stir fried vegetables and rice, yummy salad, and grilled pineapple with vanilla bean ice cream and carmel sauce. Everybody looked awesome dressed up to fit their character. There were 3 scenes to the mystery and after the first scene the cd skipped to the end and revealed the murder. The next day we figured out that it was set to shuffle... what a bummer! We thought the night was ruined until someone suggested playing mafia. After the dinner and games our friends Travis and Karlee came over to hang out. For some reason they thought going to a lame BYU game was more important than being a part of our cast. If it was a Utah game then maybe they would have a good excuse.






This is Les Baggs, he is the typical tourist visiting Hawaii... or so he wants you to think.

Sweet Escape

Over Labor day weekend Nate and I and the 2 mutts went down to Lake Powell with all of his family for a week of good food, homeade ice cream, soaking up the sun, going big on the new wake board, cutting hard on the ski and being lazy on the inflatable island. By the 2ND day the dogs were more exhausted than I have ever seen them. We could not keep them out of the water. The company was more than you could ask for hanging out with Nate's parents, his 2 sisters and their husbands and our 4 nieces and nephews. Sadly enough the week had to end with high winds and a thunder storm with tons of rain. They say it's monsoon season right now at Powell.

Up to the mountains we go!

A few weeks ago we drove up the canyon and went camping with our friends Matt and Maryann and their 2 adorable kids Max and Carter. We ate hobo dinners and had a delicious apple crumble for dessert. (thanks Maryann!) The next morning we had a hearty mountain man dutch oven breakfast which fueled us up for our hike to Donut Falls!
