So it has been a busy couple weeks and a while since I have been able to take time to post. So lets see if I can catch everyone up a little. Fernando works for Rio Tinto which is the company that owns Kenecott, long story short they also owned the land that they built the Daybreak community on in South Jordan.
Daybreak is one of those communities that is straight out of a magazine. We fell in love with this community while driving through it and dreaming, and well needless to say right now we will just have to keep dreaming. One reason is that it is all the way in South Jordan and that would make quite the commute if we were looking for free childcare in the future...(once again please keep in mind we are just planning for the future, not announcing anything). The community is made up of some very beautiful homes with some great architecture, anyway I could go on and on about the community. Well the reason for me bringing this up is that the community had an event or should I say the builders had a large event to bring in prospective homeowners in to look at there homes. It was a huge open house in a nutshell. We decided to go because I figured it would give me time to drool as well as get ideas for decorating.
loved the brick wall, although we believe it was foeOK yes there was another reason for going as well. The real BIG reason would be that if you attended you would receive free tickets to the new Disney Pixar movie Wall-E, and if anyone knows Fernando and if given a chance to get free movie tickets to a new movie just opening that same weekend he would snatch it up in a heartbeat. So with that in mind Fernando said we might as well see if anyone else would like to come along. So I went ahead and asked around. I was able to get Cindy, Matt, Melisa, and Cameron to come along for the fun. After doing the inviting we planned the day out we met up at our house and carpooled down with a sack lunch in hand.
The plans for the day were as follow meet up and be on our way by 10 am in order to be at Daybreak at 11 (start time). We didn't want to miss out on one of the major reason we showed up (free movie tickets) because we were sleeping in or playing around. So off we went we were able to get there and man I think everyone else had the same idea. There were a ton of cars! We then unloaded and started on the adventure.
The beginning of the adventure. Filling out the important registration forms so they can track you down and try to sell you something, but so we can get our Wall-E tickets.
Fernando and Cameron getting ready for the fun ahead. (the sun was bright)First goal get the tickets, while second was to walk through some of the houses and get some ideas. Well we did it! We accomplished the first task of getting the tickets. Yahooo...now the rest was cake, well OK cake for those over the age of 2. Lets just say taking Cameron through a bunch of homes that are not his or families can be quite the adventure with lots of neat things for him to touch, hide behind, and run around. He did pretty good, but we didn't want to push it so we cut it a little short and headed on over to the theatre. It was a pretty hot summer day so instead of eating our lunches outside we decided to use the theatres tables and chairs. I am sure the employees of the theatres saw our 2 coolers and bags and thought wow these people are really prepared for the movie. No worries we didn't get in trouble though. We went ahead and enjoyed our lunches in the dining area and then cleaned up and headed into the theatre with a few minutes to spare. Our timing was great!! We then were able to enjoy the movie Wall-E. It was cute. Cameron did really well for being in a theatre for over an hour I was very impressed. He got a little squirmy, but heck what 2 1/2 year old wouldn't.
The adventure gang, minus the camera woman Melisa.
After enjoying the show we made our journey to Cindy and Matt's house for a nice refreshing dip in the pool. It was great to take time and sit in the shade and watch Cameron have a good'ol time in the pool. He is a little fish who thinks he is ready to take on the pool all by himself. Little side note about Cameron being a little fish. Melisa had dried him off to get ready to go home and she turned her back for a minute and Cameron had decided he still wanted to swim so he ran over to the stairs and started to jump in. I yi yi... I haven't seen Melisa run so fast in a long time. I guess that little guy can make miracles happen!!...lol No worries he was OK, just scared his mom and got a little scolding. After the adventures of the pool, movie and idea shopping it was time to head home. We were all pooped and ready to head home.
Melisa and her little fishy.
It was a very full day, and lots of fun. Thanks sisters for coming and hanging out with Fernando and I we really enjoyed ourselves. love ya.
