Thorpe Family Din Din


Every month we get together with the Thorpe family and have an excellent dinner, great conversation and tons of laughs! Oh my goodness do we laugh! I was hungry by the time I left because I had worked off all of my food! It was great fun! We celebrated Tiffany and Bricker's birthdays while we were there too! Happy B-day guys! We only got one picture (which isn't that great) because unfortunately our photographer Devin, and Gail and Dayton couldn't attend, but hopefully we will catch them next month. The rest of the family did get to come however, Christian's brothers and sisters and all the little kids were there, and even our "almost" new addition Jon who, according to Emerson, "Has the coolest job, cuz he makes toys!" So, it was great to have that many there! We went to Sweet Tomatoes in Sandy. All 22 of us! We all enjoyed the food and had an excellent time! I love getting together with them. I had a blast!

Summer Fun, Having a Blast!


Christian and I decided to go on a little adventure today. Try things new. So, we went to a restaurant we had never been to called JCW's it is a burger joint by Thanksgiving Point. It was actually very tasty! Real barbequed, juicy hamburgers.
So, I would recommend it!

Next we went to this new place called Liberty Fun Park. If you have heard of Boondock's or Fiesta Fun in St George, it is very similar. Just opened a month ago. It is right off the freeway in Lehi, great for the little kids because everything is miniaturized. Small rollercoaster, small racetrack, small "Rocket" ride and "Tidal Wave" ride. It also has bumper boats, a carousel, a covered pavilion where you can eat, and a very small train track ride. The miniature golf course is 18 holes, and was pretty fun! We love miniature golfing! It was a great atmosphere and since it is new, not many people know about it so there were only two families in the whole place!

Christian decided to show you just how miniature things are here...



So, this I would definitely recommend for parent's! It is 16.50 for an unlimited pass! That is a pretty cheap day, especially with how expensive Lagoon is now. They are still in the process of building the inside, but it will eventually be an arcade and lasertag area.
So, we added to our summer festivities. We didn't exactly complete all we wanted to this summer with our work schedules, but it has been quite fun! We may be taking a vacation to Pheonix to visit some friends in October, so that will be fun! Hope everybody is doing well!
