what to do in our town on a friday night

Friday nights are pretty hoppin in our town...

that is if you work at the DQ!

Brett & I mentioned to Trent & the neighbor kid that we were going & -boom- they were out in the car- hiding.

Ha ha- NOT.

Brett had been gone for two nights on business. It felt like a two weeks. When he got home... I had just finished meeting with the webelo scouts (trent acted like a 2 year old beast), had no make up on, a huge zit on my chin & was wearing a lovely pair of sweats, ratty ol' BYU t-shirt & sandals. I'm kind of fancy that way. Lucky for me he over looked all that & took me to dinner (no I didn't change) and shopping where he insisted he buy me a new camera. That guy is a keeper- I tell ya!these are the first pictures taken with my new Nikon D40!!! WOW- it's amazing & I feel like a professional photographer. I've been shooting up a storm & loving it.

I guess the flash was a little bright-

I took about five shots of these two & this was the best they could do.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before- but the local DQ is a mad house on the weekends. The owner- her son was on the same mission as Brian & has been home over a year now- told us at the fabulous scout field trip last month that it's the top performing DQ in the west! I believe it- there is at least 10 cars in line at the drive threw & a full parking lot nearly every night. This night was no exception.

We bought some Star kisses & Dilly bars & headed back home to eat them in the grass & look at the stars. We have had a lot of cool, clear nights with super starry skies. The big dipper & North Star are in plain view just out our front door, its fantastic.

After setting up a blanket in the grass I turned around to see these two.

They were pretty bummed that I wouldn't let them out.

I didn't feel like seeing them get nearly hit by a car or apologizing to some innocent neighbor after they accosted someone. Ya- it had been a long day.

What do you like to do on Friday nights?

Is there a local hot spot in your town?
