Way better than T.V.

While we were unpacking we found our bug zapper, aka old sparky. This thing is huge, pictures don't do it justice, I know, for one to brag about the SIZE of something usually admits a "short" coming or inadequacy, but... not so in this case! It is supposed to be effective for like 2 acres, the box that it came in touted it as "The Executioner"! I plugged it in while I was out on the deck grilling it was awesome! The kids were inside the house watching T.V. and came out running, I don't know if it was from the lights dimming as we drained the power grid or if it was the sound of an electronic chainsaw frying the exoskeleton from unsuspecting bugs, needless to say, we spent the next hour or so cheering as bugs from all over Lindon made the commute to the house for our entertainment. At one point we were afraid that we might burn the house down from all the sparks and smoke this thing was spitting out! Like I said, way better than T.V.

These huge slabs of meat are Salmon, they look like and were the size of roasts, they were awe inspiring to say the least (once again bragging about the size of my meat?). Dale caught them in Alaska, they even brought us some Halibut, also amazing, but for some reason, Jami didn't feel the need to share? I felt like Fred Flinstone flipping these huge Salmon steaks, they were so good, thanks Dale and Angie!

We were so lucky to have Aunt Shauna & Uncle Todd at the house to enjoy the fireworks and slabs of meat! Ysabel once again has a new best friend, Shauna was able to come and stay with us for a few days and Yzzy was in heaven, they played all day long, painted toe nails, took pictures, played air hockey, chatted, chatted and chatted more!
Shauna, you are very, very patient and you have a big fan, and it took all the talking we could and lots of promises to get her to stop packing her bags to head to St. George to move in!
