Thai Feast and Girl Time

My dad planned and helped prepare a fabulous feast of Thai food while we were there.  He has some friends that own a Thai restaurant in Ogden.  On occasion he will go over and help them out in the kitchen, he loves cooking so much.  So while we were all together, he hosted a great family dinner at the restaurant.  He also invited Dave's parents and Kristin and Brian's family too.

Unfortunately, and I can just kick myself for this, I didn't get any pictures!  I just get so busy eating and socializing I completely forget the camera thing.  I feel terrible because it was such a fun evening that I probably can't do it justice with just words, but I'm going to have to try.

Anyway, we had one whole side of the restaurant reserved and they set up a buffet of food for us.  It was so good.  We had spring rolls, Tom Yum soup, green curry, waterfall beef salad, Som Tum papaya salad, fried rice, Pad Thai, fresh fruit, etc., etc.  It was a true feast.  We definitely took "all you can eat" to the limits!

I really appreciate my dad.  It was a fabulous dinner and a great way to get everyone together!

After dinner, our family went up to Kristin and Brian's house for a little while to see Payton's 7 pets!  Payton spent the whole day cleaning up the house so we could come over and see his pets and also so that he and Ashley could practice playing the Smash Brother's video game.  The kids had been invited to a video game tournament at Uncle Scott and Aunt Katie's house and the kids wanted to get some practice time in!  Payton is so sweet and such a good boy.

At the Holt's we saw Payton's fish, crabs, and of course their dog Beau!  We also got a tour of their motor home!  It was fun for Dave and I to visit with Kristin and Brian while the kids played downstairs.  

After our visit, Dave and I dropped the girls off at my dad's house with my sisters, Debby and Katey.  Ashley and Paige were spending the night with Debby for some girl time of nails, hair and movies.  They were so excited and it was so sweet of Debby to play with them.



Once we dropped the girls off, Dave and I went and met his parents at the movie theater for a 10pm movie!  I tell ya, the fun never stops!  We saw the movie, Pacific Rim.  It's pretty much a miracle I was able to stay awake.
