Dinner with the Pope

Recently a group of us celebrated July birthdays at Buca with the pope.

It was a very fun night!! :0)

Jill was one of the birthday girls! Since there were three birthdays to celebrate, our waiter brought out three lit candles and two yummy desserts. Margo and I fell for a prank as shown below.

A lovely evening was had by all!

Candyland

Recently, KARE 11 shared a story about this awesome candy store,

so three of us headed to Jordan to check it out.

Selfies in front of the giant gumball machine

A fun pic in front of a phone booth with a candy cig :0)

Jill is going to be so excited!

Homemade caramel apples...yum!!

They have 114 different root beers to choose from.

We figured that we couldn't go wrong with Dad's. :)

Every imaginable childhood candy was available!!

Who knew you could whittle candy cigs?

Alison apparently spent many hours as a child doing so!

So she showed us how to do it...too funny!!

We also stopped by Nadia's Cakes in Maple Grove.

So many yummy cupcakes to choose from!

They even have "pupcakes" for doggies!

Thanks for an awesome day, ladies!

It was so much fun to relive some childhood memories!

Another Trip Home

Enjoying licorice ice cream at the park :0)

Eric, Jess, Rache, and I had a blast one day at the park swimming pool.

My brother, Dave, spent five months making some beautiful new kitchen cabinets for our parents. He and my nephew worked hard at getting them installed while we were home.

The rodeo parade was awesome this year and lasted longer than it normally does. It was also the first time in one hundred years that the different Native American tribes from Wyoming and Montana gathered together to ride floats and their horses in the parade. Then they hosted a Pow Wow after the parade was over.
