La Caille
I had the privilege of going with Kyleigh on her French class field trip to La Caille, one of Utah's premier luxury restaurants.. A European looking chateau that serves authentic French food! Needless to say we were in heaven! Loved our meal..everything from the escargot to the banana foster dessert which was french vanilla ice cream flambed with banana and Bacardi silver rum sauce. Oh my! To die for. I'm afraid I've always been a little partial to anything rum flavored, ever since I accidentally had an alcoholic drink containing rum on our honeymoon in Puerta Vallarta. oops! It was so delicious..sorry to say! :0 Anyhow, good thing I'm not a drinker. After a most delicious lunch, we explored the chateau and walked the grounds taking in the beautiful scenery.
Kyleigh and one of her best friends pictured with Miss Trotter, their French teacher.
Kyleigh's face tells it all...she wasn't too sure about eating the snail! I've had them before on our cruise and loved them then so I was actually looking forward to the moment...
Had to get a picture of the carrot. We've always joked that the reason we've never eaten at La Caille is because it costs a $100 bucks just to eat a carrot!
the deadly dessert...wish you could see the flames! Very cool!
pics taken while exploring...i fell in love with the fireplaces..
I so enjoyed this experience together. We have dreams of traveling to France for her graduation present. Just four more years...Hoping the dream comes true! ;)
The Race
Last Saturday we participated in the SLC 5k in honor of my sister-in-law Shari, who passed away from cancer last year. The race proceeds go to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Here is a pic of Team Shari! 30 family members came out to support, walk or run. We had a great time together!
This one is for you Shari! My brother Brad, pictured here, said, "Shari is probably looking down on all of us right now. She would be proud." Geez we miss her. *sniff*sniff*
Kate's first Sunday dress
After a six week break I returned to church on Sunday. We managed to get thru Relief Society without much drama. Thank goodness. Little Kate had this stink'in cute dress on that her Aunt Melanie gave her along with this darling "church" blanket that her Aunt Karen made for her. It has "Teach Me To Walk In The Light" embroidered on it (one of my favorite primary songs) with pictures of the Temple, Book of Mormon, Baptism etc...so cute!
We had the matching shirts...
A lot sleep deprived but ready roll at 7:00 am

Oh good heavens! That Ms. Trotter must be OLD. I remember going to that restaurant with her in MY Jr. High french class. Wait, maybe it's ME that's old.
ReplyDeleteGood times. Did you go with me?
I'm tired just reading about all your "adventures". Such cute girls! Such fun things...but still I bet you are exhausted!
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant looks amazing! I would take French just to get to go on that field trip! :) So cool that you all did the race to honor your sister in law too. The t-shirts looked great! And I love the adorable church dress - and the shoes are sooo cute too!!
