This Weekend . . .

Friday night we went to this yummy Mexican Restaurant for dinner called Red Iguana.  We have been hearing about it since we moved here.  It is on North Temple Road, there is always a line out the door, it is not much to look at from the outside, but it is delicious.  Ryan tried Mole for the first time-a Mexican chocolate sauce and it was yummy.  Their chili verde pork and their mole was hot and spicy, but the chicken and shredded beef were awesome.  We loved everything we tried.  And, if you are a Food Network nut like us, Guy Fietti sp???  from Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives is going to be there this week.  That tells you how popular this little hole in the wall is.  

We also went to go see the Kennecott Copper Mine right by our house.  It was neat to see.  In these pictures, you can see how big the tires are compared to the kids, and then you can see that these HUGE trucks look like TONKA trucks from the lookout.  They are over on the right hand side of the photo, and are on the dirt that is kind of stacked up by layers.  Each tire costs $25,000, there are 6 on each truck and they change them every year.  I am glad my tires are not that much.  It was cool to go see and not far from our house, so that is even better considering the price of gas these days.

We found this awesome park.  Ryan always whines because he says parks are so boring.  I explain they are only boring for him, the kids love it and that is really the point of it.  I decided it is good he doesn't stay home with the kids, they would never get out of the house unless it was to a store or a museum.  I take them on walks and to the park for picnics.  I think they have more fun with me.  Anyways, this was the best park.  It even had fun stuff for Ryan and I-check out the video and  pics (The video is at the end, I still never do it right to get the video where I want it). 

I scored a great deal at Maurices.  I needed some new casual, Summer pieces.  They were having a sale, buy one get one half off (score, perfect day to go).  Then I had just received a 20% off coupon in the mail that day and then I had $10 free for filling up a punch card with Michelle from our last trip there.  Score.  I saved about $60.00.  

I messed up no bake cookies.  I really needed something sweet Sunday night after our walk, and I had the stuff to make no bake cookies. I made them a few weeks ago and they were delish.  But, I halved the recipe this time, and they all crumbled and would not set up together.  Bummer!

So, that was our weekend in a nut shell.  We love our Saturdays.  They are our family time and shopping day.  We usually do something fun together, and we get our groceries for the week.  We love spending time as a family!!!
