Labor Day

I had so many good intentions to be productive on Labor Day, and I think I even had Quentin on board too. Our garage is in desperate need of a thorough clean-up. There are leftover construction materials from the theater/preschool room, scattered tools that need to be organized, and items meant for the DI that need to be taken over - not to mention it needs to be hosed or sprayed out. We had geared up for it and planned on doing it Monday morning. But then we realized the city clean-up for fall isn't until October. Why would we want to have a pile of our junk sitting in the middle of our garage or, even worse, in front of our curb for a month? So...that was all the excuse we needed to wait a few more weeks!

Instead, we went on a nice, long bike ride. We went on the Legacy Trail and started in North Salt Lake. We rode to 500 South in Bountiful and back. We were gone nearly three hours, but it was because we took a few stops or detours. On the way back, we decided to not stop and we discovered that it only took us 40 minutes one way. It was a fun day. We all love to bike, and the weather was just perfect!

Then we visited Mom and got her bike fixed up - a bike that Grandpa had given to Grandma a long time ago. Grandma loved riding it but can't anymore and gave it to Mom. We'll have to take Mom on Legacy Trail with us next time! Mom also had an extra girls bike. Makenna has already outgrown two bikes, and this other bike was a perfect fit! The two girls rode around Mom's neighborhood and even met a new friend.

Then we decided to go to Firehouse Pizzeria for dinner. I love, love, love that restaurant! But after being told there would be a 20 minute wait and waiting 55 minutes, then sitting down and not seeing our waiter for another 10 minutes, we decided to leave. It was already 8:00 and a school night. So we went to our other favorite place, Cafe Rio, and had a yummy, quick dinner.
