City VS Country Living

Alright we live in a subdivision....we chose this location based on several factors.

1. Strict covenants

2. Curb and gutter, sidewalks

3. QUIET

We have enjoyed living here, and LOVE the curb and gutter....we will not flood like other neighborhoods (hence the location)

Anyway back to the subject at hand, country farm house or Subdivision. They both offer great things. We choose the neighborhood, and should not cross over to country right? Last year Kenzie's Class hatched chickens for a science project. The offer was put out that the children could take home these fine birds......I say yes because I believe ALL the parents will say yes and they will not have enough for every child. GUESS what? only 3 said yes. Last spring we became the owners of a baby chick. She was very cute and it was fun but after almost dying several times the 3rd time she met her demise.

Kelsie's class is going to hatch DUCKS! NO WAY ARE WE TAKING ONE!!! So McKenzie convinces Kelly we need chickens because our dog Sydney loved the chicken and they were good friends. Friday we swing into Cal store to buy a single chicken and we walk out with 3. Many of you know they funny stories of the last chicken and how it was almost eaten by the neighbors cat. I can only imagine what fun things will happen to these chickens.

Kenzie has always been our animal girl. Wanting every variety of animal, she should have been sent to a farming family! We may need to move Kenzie and our garage that has turned into barnyard out to Ucon.

Quick Trip

I promised the kids that if they helped spring clean we would take a small trip. After talking about a few places...Vegas, Lava, Utah, Wyoming...We all wanted Vegas but we needed to be in Logan Saturday afternoon and I really was not up for a day trip to Vegas, don't think we haven't done it before!

So we all agreed on SLC. We went to Temple Square and the church Museum. It has been a very long time since our kids have been there, the museum has changed so much it was so cool. Shopping is always on the list my kids love the Gateway and they suggested the Mayan for dinner. It was great fun but the food is awful, and the price was higher than I would have liked, so we paid for entertainment.

We booked two rooms at the LaQinta airport INN. I get fab email offers from them so they are always my first choice. Much to our dismay the pool was being renovated our kids were bummed so we looked for a different hotel. We ended up at the Hilton. Have you ever stayed at a Hilton? Our sheets were at least 600 count. The towels you could wrap around yourself 2 times, and we actually used the hotel shampoo because it was good quality. The bed!!! was to die for I just wanted to stay another night. However we did need to get to Logan. We spent some time shopping where we ran into Steve, Jaime, and Lucas? Are we in Twin Falls? That was fun!

The Dance competition lasted a lot later than we thought it would, we expected to get home by 8pm and did not leave town until 10pm. It was such a fun weekend, but so draining!!! good thing I only work 2 days a week so I have time to recover.
