Our Weekend

So, on Friday night there was a carnival in town. We decided to check it out. We got all excited and ready for Brant to get home and headed over and this was the ENTIRE thing :) Not that there was anything wrong with that I guess we are just used to them being a little bigger. Rides were 3 dollars a ride for the kid rides and 4 dollars a ride for the adult rides so we decided to just go to dinner and head home.

Then Saturday we were able to head down to Lake Powell and were SO excited to go swim on the beach. So as soon as Brant got home we jumped in the car and headed down to Powell. We have never been there so we were stoked. We haven't done anything special much this summer so we were pretty ready to play. We got there and people were taking pictures of what I assumed was a fire off in the distance. I ran to the bathroom and Brant changed Beau into his swimsuit. About 2 minutes, literally, after we pulled up the biggest WIND storm I have ever seen hits. People are running for cars and trying to get boats and people out of the water. Sand was beating us to death and we had to just RUN for the car. We decided to see if it blew over quick so we sat in the car for about 45 minutes to an hour and it just wasn't letting up so we headed home. We had fun and talked a lot and Beau was a little trooper. We got home, got changed and went to the Diner for dinner. Kind of a bummer since we didn't even touch the water but we still had a good time and we will have to try again another time. This was the only picture we got cause the camera was in the back where Brant was changing Beau and I didn't dare get out of the car to grab it. Off in the distance you can see the storm coming but it looked like so many of the wildfires we see down in this area that I didn't think anything of it. Lol! Guess we learned a lesson!

Then today with not having church and since we couldn't take Beau Bear to the dedication we just vegged. We slept when he slept and watched tv and munched. Tonight we finally took showers and got ready and went for a drive. When we got home we decided it was snack time so we cooked S'mores over the barbeque. Beau liked his first two bites of marshmallow and then wanted nothing else to do with it. He loved the chocolate and graham crackers though!
