Suda

We went to my niece's house today.  She lives in Springville with her husband.  She had a house warming party with deep fried lovin'. Everything was deep fried.  We were boring and brought biscuits to fry. They taste like donuts.  They had scones, more donuts, zucchini, apples, cheesecake, snickers, chicken, cheese, and probably more - I just can't remember.  They have a cute little two bedroom house.  My kids were great.  The house was crowded and they didn't know anyone there, but they didn't complain.

Melissa and Derek have a giant picture of an elephant in their front room.  It looks like a child's drawing.  They have it framed really pretty. I loved it.  Anyway, on their honeymoon they went to Thailand.  They got to do a ton of cool things.  This picture that is framed in their front room was actually painted by an elephant!  Haha!  How awesome is that!  They even have pictures of the elephant as he is painting.  Now that is something that you don't see everyday!  I'm guessing the elephant was named Suda.  Love it.

Mike didn't come with us to Melissa's house.  He had a work party to go to.  We all got home around the same time.  Jorja has been begging to go camping all summer long.  We tried to schedule a camping trip with her cousins, but our schedules just didn't line up.  Mike set up a tent in the backyard.  Jorja doesn't think it is fair that both Maysen and Stockton got to go camping and she didn't.  Although I don't think you can really call Maysen's girls camp 'camping'.  Just because camp is in the name . . . . 

Anyway, this was Mike and Jorja's compromise.  So tonight Mike, Jorja and Preston slept in the tent.  I tried taking pictures of them, but it just didn't turn out.  I hope the kids have fun and they don't get rained on.  If they do, at least it will be easy to come home!
