Father's Day

We had a wonderful Father's Day this year. We went to Parc Cafe for breakfast.
Grants first Father's Day.






The restaurant was a little crowded so we walked over to Liberty Park to open gifts.




...
This little story is for Phil and his anti-Village ways.
So I (Hayley) have a Father's Day gift and card for Grant. I ask Wyatt to carry it into the restaurant because my hands were full. So after we finish breakfast and start walking to the park I realize the card is gone. So we look in the restaurant, not there, we look outside (we parked right in front so it couldn't have fallen far). We ask the lady at the counter if anyone turned it in... no...hmmm? So there is this young guy waiting to be seated. We ask him, "did you happen to see a card on the ground here?" he answers, "yeah, some guy came and picked it up?" (Grant and Larry are now all over this). So they say, "well what did he look like? Is he still here?" So the kid explains that it was an overweight, middle aged guy. Then Larry asks if the kid will go in the restaurant and see if the guy is still here. So they go looking for this guy. Well standing outside the door, ready to leave is this guy holding a newspaper with a silver card tucked under his arm with the words, "Grant Milo" written on the front. So Larry walks up to him and says, "that's our card". The thief looks embarrassed, mumbles he was going to turn it in, and awkwardly walks off. So my question is, who in their right mind steals a fathers day card!!! I leave the village for two hours and look what happens. Salt Lake freaks.

Freaks is right! We all group hugged and ran to our cars after that. I was frightened for my life in Liberty Park.

Can't wait to see Monet in person-- and that will be soon. See you at Zion's. I have been reading about the drug cartel in St. George. I hope we will be safe. j.

'Grant Milo' in city-speak means, "Hey dude, free lunch on the munchkins coming up from the Village!!" I'm surprised you didn't know that. Never carry a card, Father's Day or otherwise, around with 'Grant Milo' on it. Us City Slickers will get ya!!!
