Trip to Provo

For the Halloween weekend we headed down to Provo to spend some time with our good friends the Bates. We had a blast to say the least! We left that Friday, and Everett was great in the car. Both ways.

Friday night we went out to dinner with some of my old friends from home, Todd's brother Troy, and the Bates. Then we went and hung out with Alma and Jessica. It felt like old times. They use to be our neighbors and we'd usually find ourselves sitting out on the balcony till way late just talking. I miss it, and that weekend made me miss it even more. I don't think we left their place till close to midnight and Todd and I haven't stayed up that late for quite some time!

Saturday morning we went and had breakfast at the Bates. They made us some pretty tasty crepes. We had fun trying out how each of them usually make theirs. Then we hung out for awhile and just talked. Well, Alma and Todd ended up playing computer games, while Jessica and I talked!

That afternoon we headed out for our Halloween festivities. We first went and enjoyed some Del Taco. I have to say it is way better than Taco Bell. Anyway, along with out tacos we had a Strawberry Cheesecake Dipped Apple. MMmm... So good. Then we went and worked it all off! Alma and Jessica took us to this place called Jump On It. They have a ton of tramps through out the whole building. Todd realized he is getting older. I saw him jump from tamp to tramp and then all of sudden he fell over. Later he said he back started hurting and gave out. So he watched Everett for awhile, while I took my turn. We had a pretty good time.

After our time was up at Jump On It, we headed up to Midvale to visit Todd's friend Dave and his family. Their ward was putting on a trunk or treat so we took Kaitlyn and Everett and dressed them up. Kaitlyn was a little angel and a pretty cute one. We dressed Everett up in his little bear outfit.

Then we headed off to Chipotle. Chipotle was on a list to do all day. Todd loves Chipotle and any time he has a chance to eat there we do. Well, this night was a different night. On Halloween if you dress yourself up as a burrito you get a free one. Everyone was going to do it except for me. So the boys went and got tin foil and they started covering themselves. We later found out that all you had to do was wrap a piece around your waist and you were pretty much covered. There was another group that had a ton of tin foil so they let Shelly, Jessica, and I use some. We went in and with just a piece of tin foil around our waist we got our free burritos. The boys were pretty decked out though! I wish I had gotten some kind of picture, but unfortunately didn't. We ended our night playing some games and just having fun hangin out.

Sunday we had plans set to go back and see Alma and Jessica before left, but our morning didn't start quite as planned. When Todd went out to start loading the car he found that we had been booted. Apparently we didn't park in a visitor parking space, but we later found out that even if we had we still would have been booted. We were staying at a friends condo and apparently you can't park there after 1 am on Friday. Weird I know. So we decided to just head out.

Despite the damper of being booted we had a really fun weekend. We wish Alma and Jessica, and all our other neighbors that left, still lived by us. We had some pretty good times. But at least we're close enough now that we can still go visit each other!
