A day out with the chitlins...

So yesterday the kids and I did our random chores, cleaned up the house a bit and then went to Provo. We were going to the "best in music" anniversary day shindig and had a couple of other stops to make along the way. We went to Sportsmans warehouse to look for a bbq box for the camp chef and got distracted by cots. So now Todd and Colt have cots to sleep on while they are in the tent next weekend. they will also be handy for when we are camping out at goat shows! so bonus buy there.

Then we stopped at I.M. Home a store that's near sportsmans warehouse in Provo. I had seen the sign on the freeway and kept thinking I should stop there one day. so we did. I was(and still am) in search of tall chairs or bar stools. they need to be about 30 inches high at the seat and a light colored wood. I'd also like them to not cost nine billion dollars, picky aren't I. thus far I am having NO luck finding them at all. expensive or otherwise. We did see some funky silver ones yesterday though.

The trip there was not a total loss, Colt has a loft bed and he has been pining for a loveseat or chair to put under it instead of his current crappy chair. Well I.M. Home was having a parking lot sale, they called it a tent sale but the only tent was a tiny popup everything else was just all over the parking lot. so I call it a parking lot sale! anyhow, he was walking along looking at all the loveseats and flipping over their tags when he found what is now I swear the love of his life. Ok, maybe not quite that bad, but I'm sure we are going to have to hear about it for a loooooong time. Its a tan microfiber loveseat that is very VERY comfortable and was marked down $300 which put it within his couple hundred dollar price range. so he bought it.

After buying the loveseat we went to the mall where we browsed around a bit and ate lunch in the food court.

We then went to the best in music store where tia was drooling over guitars and most particularly Basses, since she already has a guitar. Everything in the store was on sale for the anniversary extravaganza and she ended up buying the prettiest darn thing you ever did see! I love the color. I wonder what she'll buy next year.

So that was our lovely Saturday.
