No credit cards!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So I have been in Bear Lake area for two weeks now. Nate and I came here for my annual Crane family reunion. We stayed an extra week to do things in this area for a vacation. Well, everything we had planned failed!! Bear Lake doesn't know what a credit card is and also they don't know how to stay OPEN for people to shop. Montpelier only has one grocery store, and they aren't open all the time. We drove clear over to Afton, WY, on a Monday, they were closed MONDAY's.

We usually pay for everything on credit card and they pay it off at the end of the month. Well the following places don't accept credit cards: Minnetoka Cave, the antique shop in Paris, the county assessors office in Paris, Family Dollar in Montpelier and I'm sure there is more. It has been so frustrating.

I wanted to go boating and the boat needed to be fixed. I spent three days doing that and then I didn't have a driver, flagger, or baby sitter. So I've been here two weeks and I haven't gotten to go boating. I went to the lake twice already but with no boat. The North Jetty where it is closest to launch the boat is closed still because Utah Power is still pumping water into the lake, and what else has gone wrong? I'm sure I'll think of some.

However even though I've had some disappointments it has been so nice to stay in my hometown and visit and relax. Things just move slower here and it is nice. I've gotten to visit a ton with old friends and went for several horseback rides and moved cows with my dad. I've gotten to really visit with my parents and have some good long talks with them. I feel like I know them and what their lives are like again. I also feel they have gotten to know me and my baby Connelly alot.

How fun - - kind of. I know what you are saying about the inconvenience of place like that. It's a different pace. We were at our cabin last weekend. We should have met in Afton for fish and chocolate!!

Sun Valley, Idaho 2021

We stayed at a cute log cabin by the path that goes from Sun Valley to Hailey. There was a huge open field where we were able to throw the ball and play with the dogs in the snow. We ate lunches out and cooked the other meals in the cabin.  Connelly got  the French dip, Nate got the Pastrami, Kate got Macaroni salad and I got the Acai bowl! This was our fourth year going to SunValley.  We love to shop at the  thrift store, Gold Mine.  We found a lamp, board games, Sorrel snow boots for kate, beanies, and Corral plates for the kitchen!! GOLD MINE! Connelly went to Bald Mountain for the first time.  He was able to ski just as fast if not as fast as me.  The ski runs there are so long.  I never took the kids because they are  so long and I thought they wouldn't last two runs.  Connelly and I did 5 runs!!  It was so fun.  Then we got the souvenir pins for Dolla...

Connelly 3 years old

I haven't blogged or done a cute updated pix of Connelly since his March birthday when he turned three. He is so fun. I have no energy because I'm pregnant but he has a ton of it. He loves to ride his bike and play with his friends from sun up to sun down. He believes he is pregnant too and he has a "baby Kate" in his belly like I do. We are looking forward to Oct. 13th as much as ever in this horrid heat. I hate being pregnant in the summer. I love summer, I love being in a bathing suit, and this summer isn't what I love because I don't look good in a bathing suit and I hate the heat.

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...
