On Saturday we got together with some of the other Marker family and had dinner at the Crown Burger in Salt Lake City. Every time we go there I remember the first date that Dennis and ever went on there and the time when I met his family for the first time. Ronna asked me what my shoe size was - hinting about my ring size of course. It's a Marker traditional spot.
I had an extra little surprise this time when I happened to run into a friend from college who was in town for a hunting convention with is brother. So fun to run into people in unexpected places!
We were able to park right across from the Energy Solutions arena because of Dennis' school pass. Kind of nice! We all enjoyed the nice little jont to the gateway from dinner. Grandpa and Grandma treated us all to going to the museum in loo of Grandma's 60th birthday that is coming up this week. The children all seemed to have a lot of fun playing together, and I think the dad's were having as much fun as the kids were. I was sitting there watching Dennis talk to the youngest of the clan, Todd, with my camera ready, so sure that Todd was going give me a big cheesy smile. . . . any moment now . . . unfortunately I think he was just so captivated by watching Dennis' face that he just sat there and stared.
Drayden, Bonnie and William were so fun to follow around and watch. Pure enjoyment! The girls all had so much fun playing together as well. In fact after we got home and we were looking through the pictures, Khora told me that she and Emma didn't even know there was another level to visit. They were just having so much fun where they were.
The two big boys teetered on boredom a couple times, I think, but they adapted by having a game of hide and seek with the other boys. Toward the end of the night they were having so much fun that they were even enjoying the Construction site just like the little kids.
On the way home that night we played our traditional game of "what was your favorite part".
Bonnie - the sand and the hospital pad with the helicopter
Khora - the farmland and store
Afton - the store and farmland
Isaac - making the track with the pipes for the balls to go down with uncle Kevin
Jacob - the vacuum balls
Me - watching everyone play
Dennis - playing in the water with Bonnie, the climbing wall with Khora and making animations with Afton
