Team Ostler: On the Way to Fish Lake

On the Way to Fish Lake

This year for Thanksgiving we decided to make a trip to Utah. We stayed in cabins at Fish Lake for most of the week. Normally when we travel to Utah, Jim makes us wake up at 4am and we drive straight through for 12 hours until we arrive at his parents house. It is a rather miserable experience to say the least. This time we decided to relax a little bit about the whole thing. We didn't have to drag the kids out of bed while it was still dark and we drove to St. George and spent the night there rather than going the entire way in one day. I didn't take to many pictures when we were in St. George but here is a few. We ate dinner that night at Golden Corral. The kids thought they were in heaven with their dessert bar. I have never seen that many desserts in one place. They even had a chocolate fountain! Golden Corral is really the epitome of fine dining. ;) At least when you are 4, 6, and 8 years old it is!

I think my boys are kind of deprived when it comes to traveling because when we entered the hotel room (which was nice but not really anything spectacular) they dropped their jaw and Ben immediately said, "This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen!" Luke followed up with, "Mom, can we live in this hotel forever?" Wow! I'm glad that they liked it but I really wasn't anticipating that kind of reaction. It probably was due to the fact that the indoor pool was located about 20 feet from our hotel room. Which was nice because it was indoor and the weather was like 40 degrees outside. The boys were in heaven!

Stay tuned for more pictures from our trip. I have over 1,000 pictures (not all from my camera) from the cabins to sift through so it might take a while but I promise they are coming!!

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
