Yesterday

was a lot of fun! The girls and I cleaned up the house and later in the day, my parents came over. We all (Jesse included.. he actually got home from work in time to go out with us) jumped in our truck and went and grabbed the pizza buffet at downtown pizza. It felt sooo good to actually be able to pig out. And must I say their chocolate chip pizza is the bomb? I didn't totally eat unhealthy.. I did have salad too. Misty I'm so sorry if you're reading this and your tummy is doing flip flops! I'll stop talking about food now!

After that we took the girls to Fire's Creek. The water level there showed how much of a drought we've been in. It was unreal how little water and flow there was but guess what. It was perfect for the girls to play in! Usually the water is like ice and it kills to even step in for a few seconds, but I guess since there wasn't a lot of it, the sun was actually able to warm it up. The girls had a blast. My dad (whom Ariel has called Abu since she was a baby and the name has stuck) was the only one that waded in their with them. Jesse would walk on the rocks and take Ariel around to see stuff while dad handled Clarity, and mom and I watched. The only downside of staying on the shore was dealing with the gazillion gnats that for some reason found eyes very attractive and wanted to swarm into them. ugh. Dad said him and the girls had no problems in the water. It must have been a sight.. me, mom and Jesse constantly waving our arms in front of our faces. lol. But it was fun and the girls loved it. I should have taken my camera, but I'm sure we'll be going back soon before cooler weather arrives, and I'll be sure to take plenty of pics!

Let me just mention what a softie my mother is. Ariel calls her on the phone before she comes over and tells her grandma to please bring her some birthday cake ice cream and a movie with a dinosaur in it. So what does mom do? She shows up with some Edy's cake flavored ice cream and the movie "night at the museum". Dad made fun of her saying "I need a new car. Can you bring me a new car?" in a little Ariel voice. Of course it didn't work for him ;o) So silly!
