Let’s Get Together

Even though it was a short week due to the glorious long weekend, we enjoyed every bit of our time together with our family and friends.  I actually love weeks that are packed full of get togethers:  it makes the work week fly by and the weekends even sweeter.

Tuesday we had an Arrested Development party at our house with some of our neighborhood friends.  Ask my college roommates:  I was obsessed with this show freshmen year.  When I found out the Martineaus and Reeds liked the show as much as I did we had to have them and their darling boys over to celebrate the release of the new season on Netflix.  Obviously there had to be themed refreshments…

And our guests brought “mayo-neggs” and Uncle Oscar’s brownies.

Zach played on two roller hockey teams this year and one of his teams made it all the way to the finals.  Wednesday was his championship roller hockey game.  Sadly, they were robbed of their gold medals and trophy – but were pleased with a solid second place.

Friday was our date night.  We had plans to see a movie and go out to dinner – but plans were changed when Zach’s friend Chet and his lady friend Danielle invited us to head on over to Wendover with them.  If you know Zach you would know he can not say no to Dover.

The Montego Bay treated us fair.  We didn’t win big, but we did enjoy a delicious dinner at Taco Time and purchased a slingshot with an eagle’s head carved into it…

It was Danielle’s first time in Dover and I think it is safe to say she enjoyed herself.  Not to mention that Chet got three Blackjack hands in a row.  Yes, there was a victory dance.

Saturday I drove up to Park City with the women in Zach’s family for a girls over-night in Park City.  We started at the Tangar Outlets and then moved our way over to the Alpine Coaster.  Where we shredded it, of course.

Excuse me:  Girls Weekend and one adorable little gent.

After a fancy pants dinner we made our way over to our hotel.  From 8:00 – 9:00 pm they had a s’mores bar and hot chocolate out on the main deck.  We roasted our mallows on one of the fire pits and scoped out the pool situation.

We spent the wee hours of the morning by the fireplace in our room and chatting up a storm.

Sunday I had to leave early for a baby blessing and then afterward attended another little get together.  We planned a Junior High Reunion.  Yes, you read that right. Not HIGH SCHOOL reunion, a Bennion JUNIOR High Reunion.  A group of us were totally inseparable in our middle school days.  Some of us have know each other for over 15 years.  We had a pot luck dinner over at Andy and Brittney’s crib where we reminisced about all the ridiculous things we did [and our parents let us get away with].

I don’t see all of these crazy cats from the Bobcat Den very often, but when I do…we laugh for hours.  And that’s exactly what we did until it got too dark to socialize outside and we all had to head home.  Thank you Brittney for not busting out the old BJH photos…I had a rough go with my look in junior high, alright?  Most young people are kind of “growing” into themselves around this time, ya know?  Especially me.  But not all of my friends.  They were all bombshells at the age of 12…when I was still learning how to put on mascara and tweeze my eyebrows.
