a summer Saturday, as it should be

A few weeks ago Dave was a sweetheart and decided to spend a Saturday doing whatever I wanted to do, which was pretty awesome. First we tried out a new place for breakfast called The Original Pancake House in Sugarhouse and it was delectable. The best hot chocolate I've had, hands down. Also the banana pancakes with tropical syrup was awesome. Then we went to a store I've always wanted to visit but never had time, a consignment store called Home Again. It's a tad pricey for me but still gave me good ideas. Next we walked over to Barnes and Noble, to check out some books. After that we spent a few hours reading at one of my favorite places, Sugarhouse Park. We ended the day having a BBQ at my brother's house and playing outdoor games.

A perfect day in my opinion.

Cute chair and rocking horse...

I really liked this chair but Dave thought it was terribly uncomfortable, expensive (which it was) and too girly. Meh... maybe he was right. Maybe not.

I really liked that white basket thing...

Oh I thought this was kind of ironic... the teen books were right next to the expecting mothers section...

This book took the cake. Luche Libre (Family Portraits). Have you seen Nacho Libre? It portrays several Mexican entertainment wrestlers, with their families. Have you visited Awkwardfamilyphotos.com? Mix the two together and you get this book. Awesomeness. You should all check it out on your next BN visit.
