4 for 1

This will be like 4 different posts in one... Lets see last weekend we went to Yellowstone as our first real camping trip because Brandon got lots of new camping gear!! it was a blast. The first day we went to Lake (where I worked and saw the few random hot pots along the way to Tower. Its amazing that if you even go two feet of the main path or walk the entire boardwalk loop how there are no people. Its sad how much people miss because they won't walk the extra bit to see cool stuff. That night we got skunked on camping sites so we had to drive out of the park to cooke city where every campground along the way was only for RVS so finally we found a "camp ground" that was basically just national forest land where you could pitch a tent and build a fire, no toilets or camp sites or anything. It ended up being way nice because it was quite and peaceful. The next day we drove through the park and saw Norris, Canyon and Tower and camped at Norris. Then we spent Monday going to Old Faithful and the few in between and driving home. Oh i have to tell about the most delicious Mexican Restaurant we found in Afton on the way up. It was called the Agave and we totally just took a leap that it would be good and boy were we right. The Molé was so good I bypassed the chips and food for the sauce and just started drinking the sauce with a spoon.... I love sauce by the way and this was just wonderful. We loved it so much we starved ourselves all day Monday so that we could eat it again on the way home YUMMY!

Ok next part of the post: My sister got me a cookbook from Kitchen Kneads which is this awesome specialty kitchen store in Logan, its one of my happy places. Since I got like 4 of the same cookbook I decided to take it back so I could get some fun stuff. I also decided I wanted to get whatever I wanted (Brandon got the home depot gift cards so I thought it was fair) so I got this!!!

Is that not the cutest thing ever? To make it even better, its mini, like 4 inches long. I know its so useless but it said you can use it for small pastries or ravioli or i thought just for small things... I don't know but I'll find somewhere to use it you just watch! I also got a pretty blue snow flake cookie cutter, a pink spoon and a recipe book stand. I'm stoked

Part 3: I got some exciting things at the store tonight, i got some stuff at the case lot sale and 3 cartons of the good ice cream that was on super sale and grapes and cantelope and all kinds of yummy things which made me happy which leads to part 4

Part 4: Why can't anyone bag!!! Isn't that their job? Seriously how hard is it. Case: I brought my own bags which often means you will be walking with them and therefore need sturdier bags... this was my situation. The bag man decided to put both gallons of milk, lettuce, grapes, peaches, two things of meat and pickles all in one bag which was so heavy I could barely pick it up. In the other bag he put my cantelope and a thing of juice, SERIOUSLY??? I just don't understand why every time I go to the store they either put like one item per bag, pack them stupidly and just be plain annoying. I think they should have bagging training because no one can do it. Ok the end

Love your post. The baggers drive me CRAZY also. Last week I went shopping, bought some food and a can of bug spray. They started to put my bug spray in with my fruit. HELLO? Another time I bought a roasted chicken and they put it in with my chocolate chips. When I got home and noticed it I had one large bag of melted chips. "I see stupid people."
