Casa Bonita

Today we got to eat lunch while watching a gorilla throw a lady off a 30-foot waterfall! Then we ate sopapillas while the sherrif had a gunfight and eventually threw the bad guy off the waterfall. Then the bad pirate tried to get the princess to marry him, but the good sailor threw the bad pirate off the waterfall. Then the princess tried to marry the sailor, but he wasn't interested so he threw HER off the waterfall. Melodrama is SO much better in a gorilla-infested Mexican jungle with a waterfall and a goldmine (including Bad Bart's hideout). I haven't figured out how the wandering vendor selling flashing glow-toys fits into the scheme. Guy said, "This is the BEST restaurant EVER!"


The girls are the only ones in these pics (more to come) because the boys had run off exploring the arcade, goldmine, and waterfall. By the way, in Utah, sopapillas are called "scones." In other parts of the country, this treat has been called "Indian fry bread." I ate too many and got a stomachache, so I'm gonna call it "take it easy on that there treat."


Tiny's been toting this babydoll on every adventure for the past several weeks. It's kinda like the Flat Stanley assignment that so many first graders get (take a picture of Flat Stanley with you when you travel someplace interesting) but she was SO precocious that she invented the assignment way before first grade and invented her own character, too.
