Em moved to Arizona. I have to write it so that my mind will hopefully one day fully process that implications of that news. Em moved to Arizona. It felt like she was as permanent as Macey's grocery store in Provo because she had been there for so long but suddenly Nick got a new job and BAM they were moving. Not moving, moved. They are currently wearing sun screen and playing with lizards next to their pomegranate tree while I am digging around finding socks for Liv to wear on her hands because I can't find any gloves for the snow. Anyway, even though she had only been away three weeks, she decided to come for a week to stay and it was heaven. As usual.
Unless your arms are amputated, nails is a classic activity that is timeless as bras. It just has to be done any time there is a gathering of females. It's just the way it is.
Since American Falls doesn't have many world renowned sights and activities, taking them to the pharmacy was a big event for us. It was delightful. I would say the Rockland Pharmacy is by far one of the top 2 highlights of things to do in this town. We are clearly still working on Grace's forced smile...
We also had the honor of being chosen as the chili cook off judges at the scarecrow and chili feed auction so we gave Em and Cole a taste of the town and they were thoroughly impressed.
It's safe to say that there is no one my girls mutually adore more than cousin Cole. We are all very well trained professionals at lurping around and staying in our pajamas so that is precisely what we did...
We also went to the big city and did a little shopping. I wanted to put my hand over my heart when we walked into Targets hallowed halls. It had been far too long.
We also discovered a pumpkin patch that puts commercialized Cornbellys to shame. We found the real deal, saw off your own, take a tractor to the field pumpkin patch and it was the most quintessential fall thing I have done thus far. Observe.
It looks fake. But its real. Idaho crisp fall air, green tractor type of real. It was so delightful.
It even came complete with "dig for your own potatoes" in a bin. I'm telling you, this state gets better every day.
In case you can't tell, she doesn't have a black eye, she is a puppy. Free face painting was only the beginning of our perks.
It was fall at its finest. We finished by picking up Wingers salads for dinner and then after the sidekicks were asleep we watched Shark Tank and then just talked about nothing. And there's nothing I love more.
It always feels like too long until we see them again. Cole will give Grace the emotional support she needs in the meantime...
