The Sokols got to town Thursday night and we had an adult only dinner at BJs. It took forever and we learned our lesson about trying to go out with so many of us. That night Anna and Juliet spent the night and we all got up to take family pictures. We survived the pictures and then came back to our house to eat sweets - sticky buns, donuts, and orange rolls for breakfast. Lee's family headed back to CA.
Later that afternoon we met up at Container Park. It's an artsy, shopping area for start up businesses with a park area in the middle. They had a huge tree house and these foam building shapes. Seth and Anna made a car and Cam and Anna checked out performers on a little stage area, while the adult checked out the little businesses that were in stacked shipping containers.
As it got dark, they lit this giant preying mantis structure and fire shot out in rhythm with the beat. Juliet was terrified by the shooting flames.
We picked up free pizzas from CiCi's for Dave, Jeff, and the kids to eat while watching the BYU football game, while the moms went to Cafe Zupas to have a quiet meal.
The littles slept over at Grandma & Grandpa's with the Sokols and had some adventures on the Strip. That night we had another grown up meal at Hot N' Juicy Crawfish. Dave and I got crawfish and shrimp. Tthey came with heads and feet in a bag of spicy sauce. Prepping them to eat totally freaked me out and I did squeal a bit.
It was good but messy.
Jacque was soaking her hands in the sauce and sucking them. She ate like a caveman. My hands smelled like the spices for 2 days!
We finished up our meal with deep fried oreos at a neighborhood bar.
We ended our long weekend with the Sokols at the Sunset Station buffet Monday morning, right before the they headed back home.
