Salmon Fry

June 1

Nate and I drove to Logan this morning for a baby blessing of our closest friends the night before. When morning came, we all went on the lookout for yard sales in the area--one of Nate's favorite things to do. Nate and I figured that once school starts in August, we will essentially have little to no time in finding furniture and other baby essentials for our little one. So we better start now, getting as much of a head start as we can. Kenz and I ooed and awed over the baby clothes. I tried to find clothes that were gender neutral, since we haven't figured out what we are having yet. I'm a bit bummed that I don't know if we are having a girl or a boy, but I'm hoping for a boy...is that bad? Although I tried to stay gender neutral, I kept leaning toward the boy clothes. We hit a few more places before heading back to their house.

Lil' Hank fell asleep in my arms. :)

 I hung out with Kenz waiting for her family to arrive while the guys ran some errands.

Nate is getting some practice with Henry

Around 3:30, we headed over to Aaron's parents' house in Garland (city) for the Salmon Fry. We had to wait a bit for the guys to make their appearance. Nate, Aaron and Kenz's cousin went to look at a pawn shop for guns (go figure). When they arrived it was time for some salmon. Every year, Garland (city) has an all-you-can-eat salmon event called the Salmon Fry. Apparently, people from all over the states will come to eat the fresh caught salmon from Alaska. All you have to do is raise your hand and they bring you more salmon and more of their buttery sauce. This has been one of Nate's favorite traditions with his buddies from high school.

 This is the look of contentment

 Yum. Yum. Yum.
I wasn't the biggest fan of fish when we first met, but this became a definite exception. I love it!
After the salmon fry, some of Aaron's mission buddies and the rest of us went to do some shooting. It was a lot of fun.

 We went back to Aaron's and Kenzie's house for games and a surprise, hilarious visit from Garland (friend that grew up with Nate and Aaron...I know it is a little confusing). It was a great ending to a great day.
