Alexis & Mona’s Visit

Mike and I have thoroughly enjoyed having my niece, Alexis and her friend Mona visit us in Blanding.  I brought the girls home with me last Friday and they will be returning tomorrow – Wednesday.  Here’s what we’ve been up to…

 

Friday afternoon we made seven, yes seven, different foods in two hours.  Some of the items were  Seven Layer Dip, Pasta Salad, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Jalepeno Poppers, Fresh Salsa, Chicken Enchilada’s and Lexi’s Cheese Cake.  Lexi requested all of her favorite foods that we have made in the past.  (It seems we have a Mexican food theme here!)

Friday evening we went to a Ward Dinner at Blue Mountain Ranch.  It’s only about 15 minutes from home.   It was a delicious dinner!

Sleeping arrangements…  The girls took both of the mattresses off of the bed and put them on the floor.  They love it!

Saturday – the girls help me set up at Farmer’s Market.  Then they went exploring.  Afterwards, we went swimming at the pool!

On our way home, I drove them over to the ruins that are on the edge of town.  They thought this was cool!

I have included this picture for one reason only.  By the time they leave, we will have gone through SIX BAGS of tortilla style chips.  With fresh salsa and seven layer dip, we’ve eaten a lot of chips!
