I guess last week was just way too much for us…because we only checked off ONE item on our summer list.  One…single solitary item.  We did have a lot of other fun things we did, fortunately!

We dined at the OG downtown.  It’s Zach’s favorite.  He claims that we had to have “Family Night” because “When you’re here…you’re family!”

We checked off the first item on our summer list, the long awaited #1 – SLC Farmers’ Market.  The market officially opened June 9th, but I was too nervous to go on the opening Saturday in fear of the crowds.  We went early and got all our items purchased before we had lunch.  The crowd was decent and the temperatures were perfect.  Zach got his tri tip, homemade tortilla chips, and a Snowie.  I picked up my favorite mango salsa, honey whole wheat bread, and fresh herbs.

Saturday afternoon we met up with the Hendersons to celebrate Fathers’ Day with Mark with some delicious Italian food in Ogden.  It was great to see all the family!

Saturday night Zach and I went to the Broadway Theater to watch Moonrise Kingdom.  The 10:00 PM show was sold out, so we decided to hang around and wait for the 11:00 PM showing.  We ended up forming a line and making friends with the people around us.  We played games like Desert Island and Your Last Meal until they started seating.

The movie was so creative and funny, we loved it!

Sunday came around and we celebrated Fathers’ Day.  I can already tell Zach is going to be a fantastic father.  He also makes really good light saber noises quietly during sacrament meeting.

I always make Zach whatever he wants for lunch on Sunday, and in honor of him being a future father, he requested Mac n’ Cheese paired with some homemade chips and salsa purchased from the Farmers’ Market the day before.  We really know how to class up Sunday lunch.

That afternoon we drove down to eat dinner with my family.  Sadly, my dad is still away on business in Wisconsin and couldn’t fly home for his holiday.  We definitely missed him, and it was even harder due to the fact that this was his first Fathers’ Day away from home and his first Fathers’ Day without his father.  Zach, Blake, and myself tried to FaceTime my Dad because he has a new iPhone, but it was too much technology for him to handle and we settled with singing and talking over the phone.

Before returning home we stopped in Magna to visit my Grandpa Ross and wish him a happy Fathers’ Day.  We discussed WWII documentaries and obnoxious teenagers who text too much.  This is his impression of people who “text”.  Yes, his eyes are crossed…and yes that is a topless sailor girl tattooed on his arm.

Happy Fathers’ Day to my Dad, father-in-law, all my uncles, and all the other men in my life who are fathers and fathers-to-be.  I think Zach is a fantastic husband.  I can’t wait to see him as a father.  Our children will be crazies.
