Busy Weekend

I went to Logan with my two of my sisters, a brother in law, and my daughter this weekend. My nephew graduated from High School, so we made a party of it.
I put off getting ready until the night before, (as is typical of me) and as I tried to sleep that night the thought occurred to me that I hadn't taken time to make a card for him yet. I went over the list of things I still had to do in the morning, and I knew I would never get them all done, so I got up at 3am and made the card.


We got there around 2pm. We had reservations at the famous "Bluebird" restaraunt at 4:30, so we just walked around Main Street, and saw the sights until then.
The Bluebird is famous because it has been around since about the 1920's. It's pretty cool inside - high ceilings, the old fashioned counter with the soda fountain behind it - but rather than try to describe it, here are some pic's...


My sister could only get enough tickets for herself and her son for the graduation ceremony, so the rest of us entertained ourselves by going shopping at Border's (bookstore) for a few hours, then we just went to our motel room and my daugher and I had some mom & me time.
The next morning, we went to a park that was a mini zoo. We had fun looking at all the animals...

I'm sure these two were discussing who they like in the next presidential race...


Jenny hanging with her emu (not to be confused with EMO) friend...

Another eagle - this one was a golden eagle - I just liked this shot (Jenny took this one)

My 2 sisters and my BIL looking at the ducks...

The swans were kind of hilarious - they were such posers! We were watching the cayotes pacing around thier cage, and they would just casually swim past, as if to say "this moment of peacefulness was brought to you by..." Or maybe they just thought that we had been ignoring them long enough and wanted to cut in...pretty funny nonetheless.

We met Susie's boys at a pizza place for lunch, here's my sis and her hubby sitting outside...

Then we drove out to Hyrum where there is a beautiful "hidden" lake (you can't see it at all from the road)...and we hung out there for a while.

Tried to get me some "artsy" looking shots here...

The boys being boys (the blond is the graduate)

It's a good thing we had this peaceful afternoon, because the drive home was a nightmare - road construction and then rush hour traffic turned a 2 hr. drive into 3 1/2 teeth clenching hours. I thought when I got home I would have some quiet time, but hubby arrived home from his buisness conference about an hour ahead of me, my son dropped off his 2 girls for a sleepover at grandmas while they went camping, my newlywed son came back up to stay and work....
*Sigh*
