A Return to the 'Cavins'



Last Friday my staff showered me with gifts for Boss' Day. Considering that they have not worked for me very long, and how well they treated me on that day, either I am doing something right, or they haven't figured out how big of a jerk I really am. One of the gifts was a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew witha picture of me in my very own pinstripes. I was also given a bag of Chocolate Overdose Cookies, (chocolate-dipped Oreos) and two dozen doughnuts. For lunch we went out to Caputo's. They're trying to fatten me up, and it's working...




During the celebration Kate called me to let me know that Pat was planning on booking the cabins at the Camperworld near the Nebo loop and asked if I wanted to take the kids. Kate couldn't join us, as she had to work her new job the next morning, but I decided to go, so we could have one last outing before the snow falls.

I arrived at the cabins to find that Pat and Drew ditched us, so it was just us and the McCartys. Being mid October, it was a bit nipply out (did I say nipple?). Fortunately Scott had plenty of wood, and we made a rip-roaring fire. As per tradition, we made Navajo Tacos for dinner and scones for dessert. And for second dessert we made s'mores. After the kids went to bed I had third dessert, which consisted of Chocolate Overdose Cookies and Mountain Dew...


Hey, Whit...your marshmallow is, uh, on fi...oh nevermind...

The next morning we cruised the Nebo loop, stopping at 'Mini-Bryce Canyon', and stopping on the pass to get some pics of Nebo and the changing leaves. It was a short trip, but I am glad we went.


I think the kids had a little too much sugar on the trip, though. Saturday night the Tooth Fairy killed three birds with one stone at our house, when Patrick, Samantha and Bean all lost teeth in the same day. For Bean it was her first.
