Carling get-together

Yesterday was the annual Carling get-together at my uncle's house in Logan. We drove up for the afternoon and enjoyed good food, games, and company. We played the traditional horseshoes and horsey golf, as well as croquet. Brian also played frisbee golf a few times since he really enjoys that. I however, sat out of the frisbee golf since I have no frisbee skills (or croquet skills for that matter, I was only halfway through with the course when everyone else was done.) We had a fun time seeing my aunt, uncle, and cousins that I don't normally see.

My aunt and uncle:

Wax anyone?

Normally I don't post about the random day to day events that go on in our lives. It would probably bore you all to death. However, the other day Brian really wanted to try these ear wax removal candles. You put one end in your ear and you light the other end on fire. The flame actually got pretty big, which made me a little nervous. Anyway you lay there while it is burning and then you can start to hear the wax getting sucked up into the candle. After the flame reaches a certain point, you blow it out. You can then open it up and see all the wax that was removed. I was amazed at how much it pulled out, it was really gross. I don't know if we'll do them again because they took quite a while to do, but they definitely work better than q-tips.

Manti Weekend

Last weekend my parents came down to visit us for the weekend. They came down Friday afternoon and then we all went down to Manti, Utah for the Mormon Miracle Pageant. I hadn't been since I was a kid, so it was kind of like seeing it for the first time. It was pretty nice, however we kind of felt that the audio was a little outdated. We finally returned home from that at about 1:30 in the morning. I don't remember much of the drive back because I was asleep in the back seat. On Saturday we went shopping at various stores and went out to lunch . It was a nice day. After dinner that night, we took my parents up to Bridal Veil Falls. The weather was great so it was nice walking the path to get there. We were able to get some great shots, including some of Brian climbing to the top of the falls.

It was a great weekend with family.
