Ciara's Birthday!

We started off Ciara's birthday with breakfast at IHOP!

Mom made her this amazing blanket! Now I want a beach blanket!

And late afternoon we were off, heading to Kirtland for a few days. We stopped for dinner at Cracker Barrel, where it's never a horrible place to have a long wait because they have their country store to browse in as well as these cool rocking chairs to relax on.

While Noah was in the bathroom, the rest of us were checking out the menu, deciding what we were going to have. Both Heidi and I mentioned how gross the trout looked...and then when Noah came back and the waitress took our orders, Noah ordered the trout! Heidi and I both started laughing but he swears it's delicious.

After dinner, while we waited for last minute bathroom trips and shopping, the kids decided to play a game of hide and seek. They sure know how to pick the good hiding spots, ha ha!

We rolled into the hotel in Kirtland a little after 9. It was definitely in a sketchy part of town and the smell of weed was pretty strong in the elevator. But, we know how to roll with the punches and we were all looking forward to the church sites the next day.
