Rachel's Personality

Rachel loves to have crazy outfits and awesome facial expressions.  Here are the many pictures of Rachel in the last couple of months.
 It was 70 degrees outside and this silly girl has long sleeves on and her winter hat.
While shopping she found this hat that she was totally in love with.
 Another outfit
This was just before Scott got home from work.  Yep she stayed in her PJ's all day long and wouldn't take a bath.  When she gets home from school or us running errands she puts her PJ's on and hang out in them all day long.

Texas Roadhouse

So while we were in Pocatello we hooked up with Bonnie to eat dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  It was kids night and since Rachel was the 1st kid to show up after an hour and a half of them being open she got spoiled. 
 The balloon guy was the 1st one to show up and she told him that she wanted a monkey.  So she got a monkey in a tree.  So totally cool.  After that the lady with toys showed up and she ended up getting one of everything they have.  She got a compass, a flashlight and some dominoes. 
The fine thing she got was her face painted.  She wanted to be a lion and they didn't have enough paint so they just painted her one side of her face but it looks pretty cool.  She had a fun night being spoiled and I enjoyed my time catching up with Bonnie. 

Playing in the Snow

We headed over to Pocatello so that Scott could interview for a job at Portneuf Medical Center.  So we dropped Scott off there and Rachel really wanted to go find some snow to play in.  I was going to look around for a place to live.  We eventually ended up at the ball diamond that the church owns on booth road.  Here is Rachel playing in the snow.  She liked throwing snow balls at me.  The snow was really really wet.
 Thumbs up for the snow.
 Running and making all the feet prints in the completely untouch snow.
 The next few are of her making snowballs.

Here is one of her snowballs.  I didn't really have winter clothes for her and so she just made due with what we had.We played there for about 1/2 an hour before it was time to go pick up Scott.

Final Activity for Spring Break

Saturday we decided we would do our final activity for spring break.  Rachel had seen my fondue set that I have in the cupboard and she was like what is that.  When I told her about it and how you do it she started bugging me to do it.  Well I got a coupon for the Melting Pot where kids get to eat for free during this week.  So we headed out to the Melting Pot for lunch.  There was only another group there when we got there.  Rachel had the biggest smile on her face through the whole thing.
 She was so excited about these "swords". 
 Scott eating the cheese fondue.
 Rachel's first bite of cheese fondue.  This was so much fun for her. Who doesn't like playing with their food.
 Oh the salad was delicious.
 Each of us cooking our main course of meats.  Rachel was cool with having to wait and cook the 1st one but after that it was taking to long for her.  We just dumped several pieces of meat in at one time so that there were lots cooking together and then used the rescue spoon to get them out.  We even took some of this home because we wanted to make sure we saved room for dessert.
 Scott got the Melting pot signature dish and I got the Meat lovers plate.  Mine had teriyaki chicken, filet Mignon, and sirloin. Scott had shrimp, BBQ Pork, chicken, filet Mignon, and sirloin.
 And the final course.  Chocolate fondue.  YUMMY!  Rachel really loved getting to dunk the strawberries.  It was so fun and for it taking two hours Rachel was a rock star.  After the restaurant we then headed to the Idaho Aqurium.  She earned it as her reward for keeping her panties dry for 7 days.
 Playing in the 1st tank as you walk in the door.  She loves the water and was completely drenched by the time we left there.
 The Iguana.
 Yes she was touching this lizard.
This was where she could play with the starfish, crabs and whatever else was in this display.  We just let her play until she was drenched and then we headed home.  We had a fun spring break.
