Who knew???

This weekend we were able to have family come into town!  Little Lily was getting blessed and Mike and Brittany were sweet enough to do it here in Provo.  I know it had nothing to do with us living here…but it sure made the drive to the blessing nice and short!

Ahma, Joy, and BOTH my parents also came into town for the blessing!  It was so exciting to have them all here!  So, what do you think the first order of business is?  A trip to the Cal Ranch store of course!  I know, everyone is in shock.  My Dillard's, Nordstrom, Rodeo Drive shopping mother was so excited to go to a Cal Ranch store…complete with her bedazzled sandals…to buy who knows what. 

Last time Joy and Ahma visited Mike and Brittany in Idaho they introduced them to the Cal Ranch store in Idaho.  Joy bought a coat and my dad really wanted to get one.  So we shopped and shopped for a coat for my dad.  Trying on the brown one….

 

Discussing the pros and cons of each selection…

A different brown one this time.  Dad really wanted to wait for Mike to come and see what his thoughts were on the whole jacket thing.  Mike came and the two of them shopped and shopped for just the perfect coat.

Proof both my parents were here at the same time (they normally have to travel separately so one can be at home to take care of things there)

The kids quickly found the perfect aisle for them….the toy aisle!  My mom was so excited because everything was 50% off!  She was like a kid in a toy store…wait….

The final tally….

Joy and Ahma – pretty much something from every aisle in the store, candy, water jugs, grass seeds, gas cans, a crock pot (and yes because of all the shopping they did…they hit up Dillard's next..some of these things I’ll have to take down to them next time we drive to Cali)

All the kids – each got a new toy

Dad – nothing, nada, nil,  zilch!  After all that shopping not one longed for coat.  The irony of it all.
