What a light show that was!!
Tyler especially enjoyed the parrot that was hidden up in one of the trees.
We all ate our share of lobster, shrimp and crablegs.
Mom's dinner wasn't complete without a baked potato, but Rex stuck to the seafood basics.
Gusti tried the diet version - just one shrimp. LOL Yeah right! Kira had pizza - what else!
A visit to mom and Rex's and Grandma and Grandpa's just wouldn't be complete without Grandpa's Barbecue, complete with all the fixin's - potato salad, baked beans and rice. But wait, where's Grandpa in this picture?? (Unfortunately he wasn't feeling so great.)
Jeffrey discovered American hotdogs. I mean, it's not like we don't have "wurst" here, ha, ha. I think he basically had them for lunch every day and sometimes again for dinner as is the case here.
Tyler would forego the "hotdog" in favor of just the bun.
Ally, Anita, Kelli (and her 2 kids) made it to the Olive Garden too! Oh what memories. Soup, salad or breadsticks Ladies?Besides what I've already mentioned, we hit Krispy Kreme Donuts (the light was on), Ally introduced us to Sonic's Cherry Limeade, Gusti shared her favorite Café Rio lunch with me with sweet pork and to die for enchilada sauce. During our quick visit to BYU, Kelli treated us to a cone at the Creamery. Ally, Anita and I devoured a huge bucket of extra buttery popcorn and a diet drink while watching Mama Mia, at least most of the butter didn't land on MY hips, but on Ally's jeans - sorry we didn't share with you Kali, Gusti and Jamie. But we didn't leave you behind when we went to Cold Stone Creamery afterwards. And definately worth noting would be Anthony's Swedish pancakes on Sundays and Papa Murphy's Pizza on Fridays. Let's see, did I leave anything out?? ... Halloween candy!! Need I say more?

There is one thing I truly miss from Utah, and that's Cafe Rio. If I'm ever back in Utah, that'll be my first stop. I particularly love the sweet pork. It's great in their salads, but my favorite is the sweet pork enchiladas - TASTY!!!! I actually took both Henry and our family to Cafe Rio before our wedding. I guess you guys didn't join in.
Anyway, as for Halloween candy...I still remember my first Halloween in the States (which was also my first time in the States), and everyone being so excited about the candy. People kept telling me about awesome Hershey's chocolate. Little did I know. I was excited, too - but when I had my first bite of Hershey's chocolate, I pretty much spit it out because I found it so gross. Hahahaha... I think that's so funny now. I had no clue chocolate could be gross. :)
I love Cafe Rio and the pork is my favorite. I can hardly wait to go myself when we are out there later this month!
wow- you post more photos than I do... that is quite a feat. Thanks so much for coming to stay with me. It was my favorite part of fall!
man you guys have some great family genes. your mom looks great!
Cafe Rio. I miss that too! I just realized that with this financial slow down, maybe we'll eat less fast food and not need quite as much health care. I think it's totally funny that Fran and you do the same thing. When she visits Germany we must visit the Greek Cheese shop, eat lots of fresh bread, eat a hearty Schulze breakfast each morning (and for me get some really good sausage).
