Video by Request

So, um, what I learned last week was to double-check that my post actually got published and not just saved as a draft.  Oops.  So, below is what I tried to post from my i-pad.

Ally requested more videos of my kids, so here you go.  This is from today.  The temperature was over 100, so we didn't stay outside for too long.

And here's the rest of the adventure.  After I stopped Carter from playing with the next door neighbor's sprinklers.  (It's so exciting!)

This one's from Friday when Mom and I took the kids down to the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Energy Solutions Arena.  They had FREE pony rides!  Couldn't beat the price!  (But the heat was awful!)

 Here's another video from earlier in the summer.

 Enjoy!  (Oh, and another thing that I learned...or was at least reminded of...is that Blogger only allows you post videos that are less than 100 MB.  So, if you want the others, you'll need to come see them on my computer.)

So, because I'm at the computer and I know that I'll forget by Friday--here are some other things that I have learned this past weekend.

1.  The piping on couches and other upholstery is actually called "welting".
2.  Costco has a really easy-to-use photobook maker.  I can even use my Creative Memories software to make the pages and then use those pages in the book.  Here's hoping that their turnaround time is accurate.   (I used the software to make a sign-in book for my brother-in-law's wedding on the 1st of August.  5-8 business days is just fine.  Any longer than that will get me in trouble.)

Dear TomTom,

Just to let you know, the route that you planned for us today from Grandma O's grave in Avon to the dairy in Ogden, while technically shorter in distance than the traditional path back through Sardine Canyon and such, was not shorter in time.  The road was also tougher on my car than I'd like.  Highway 186 or whatever the number was nothing more than a dirt pathway.  And while the nature and scenery were beautiful--that dirt path was extremely bumpy and uncomfortable for over 25 miles.  I'm sure we gave the four wheelers and campers a good laugh when they saw us drive by.

Next time, TomTom, we shall NOT take the path less traveled.

Sincerely,

The weary Call family
