Another Buffet - yes, I'm serious

So, the very next day after eating a ton of Thai food we made plans to go to another buffet.  We wanted to spend a little more time with Grandma Church.  Our first week in Utah, we went over to visit and played Rook and we also saw her on July 4th, but that was pretty much it.

We wanted to see her again and we also know that she likes to eat at Chuck-A-Rama buffet.  So we decided to meet Grandma Church for lunch.  Even better, was that Kelley and her kids came too and Grandma Smith was also with us.  My sister Debby and my dad, dropped off Paige and Ashley on their  way to airport.  Deb was flying home after spending a few days with us!

I don't know, maybe its because Utah has big families or is more cheap but Utah does buffet's much better than Chicagoland.  We don't eat at buffets at home.  There really aren't any good ones.  Not that Chuck-A-Rama is a beacon of fine dining, but its really not too bad, especially for a buffet.  Besides it's always fun to eat at a place that has its own slurpee machine.

Again, it was a fun time and again, I have no pictures.  Kelley and I sat at a table with all the little kids, so we had our hands full filling our plates but pretending that we were getting more food for the kids!

After lunch we all had plans.  Dave and I were going to the first of our high school reunion events.  Ashley was going with Grandpa and Grandma Smith to Hill Force Base to serve a bbq dinner to the airmen and their families.  And Paige was saved by Aunt Kelley and her kids.  Paige went with her cousins, Ali and Nicki, to their house to work on a play they had been creating since we got to Utah.  Seriously, Kelley was a saint to not only take Paige for the day and feed her dinner, but to sit through the whole production of the play.  Somehow, I never saw the play - I can't believe I allowed that to happen ;) !
