What I cooked today:
Spaghetti Sauce: This is always a crowd pleaser! And it worked out well, since I made it before we left, and it was ready when we got home. Yummy.
Update:
We realized this morning, that we forgot to take pictures of the Anniversary couples! So, we snapped these pictures up in Monarch.

Both Grandmas joined 3 of the kids and I on our trek to White Sulphur Springs today! It's about an hour and a half drive, so we arrived right around 1pm, which was perfect for lunch. We had burgers and salads (and an awesome Gyro) at a corner deli, and then headed up to 'The Castle'.
This museum is really cool. The house was built in 1892, by a wealthy man in White Sulphur Springs. It is furnished with all period pieces and old photographs of the family, or other prominent people of the time. We had a really great time, and our 'tour guide' was a young kid (about 18) who was very polite and knowledgeable. He and Allen got along really well, as he challenged my son to trivia questions for the entire hour or two we were in there!
After the 'Castle', we went to the Hot Springs, which is a pool inside of a motel. The water is refilled each night, and was at about 100 degrees. The kids went in, while the Grandma's and I sat and watched. As the name suggests, it smelled a lot like sulphur. Lots and lots of sulphur.
After the hot springs, we headed back towards home, stopping at Memorial Falls to hike up to the waterfalls. It was a great hike, not easy but not too difficult either. We got some great pictures up there!

We headed from the falls down to Monarch to meet Patrick and Grandpa and Ryan for dinner at the Lazy Doe. But, alas, the closed the kitchen at 6:30pm tonight! I'm not sure why, perhaps a private party, since the smells from the kitchen sure smelled good when we got there around 7pm. But, fortunately, I had already started Spaghetti Sauce for dinner, so we still got a great meal.
