Our Anniversary

August 10th was our 4th Anniversary and it was my turn to plan something. Kevin always makes elaborate and fun plans - last year we went to Lagoon and spent a night at the Anniversary Inn. My first time planning was 4 weeks after Emery was born and we were in New Mexico. I made meatloaf and baked potatoes for a candle-lit dinner on a card table in our studio apartment...that was it...I figured this year I needed to redeem myself. I'm still not sure it was complete redemption, but it was a definite improvement. We went up to my parents house to see the South Weber Days parade and left the girls with them to go eat lunch at Roosters and to go "Geo-caching". What a fun new hobby we've discovered! For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a high-tec treasure hunt you can do pretty much anywhere with a GPS unit. (For more info visit: geocaching.com) Basically you look up online where you can find some geocaches searching by the zip code or city you want to look in. Random people place their geocaches in sneaky places and leave you with the coordinates to type into your GPS. There can be many different things inside of a geocache. One of the ones we found had some DVD's in it. We took a DVD to exchange if there was one that we wanted to take. (If you take something from a geocache, you leave something with a similar value.) We had so much fun - even though we only found 2 of the 4 we went for. Here are a few pictures of us trying to find one of the geocaches:


Along the way we passed my Grandma and Grandpa's old house in Uintah that my family lived in for a few years while my grandparents were on a mission. The family who lives there now invited us to take a tour. It was so fun to see what they've done to the place as many childhood memories flooded my mind. After our geocaching adventure, we headed back to my parents' house to rescue them:) For dinner, we all headed down to the South Weber park for a hamburger and Emery played on a few of the attractions:
This is Emery in the bubble machine - every time she got some bubbles on her face, she'd try to wipe them away, only to find that there were more bubbles on her hands.


Emery has found a new liking to all the Disney Princesses. She can say all of their names and it's really cute. This picture is us in front of a big blow-up slide thing that she LOVED - can you tell? We had to have the worker drag her out when her time was up:)

Later that night, we returned to the park for the annual fireworks presentation. I think they are the best around because you sit right across from where they set them off. We were having a great time when about half-way through, the sprinklers turned on! My dad got soaked 'cause his blanket was directly over one of the sprinklers. It was definitely a night to remember. Emery loved it and talked about fireworks for a few days after. Anyway, we had a glorious time celebrating and remembering our 4 years together. What fun adventures we've had! I love you Kev!
