Last night, Adam and Amber went to the McCallum theater with David and Rose for this big talent show the City of Palm Desert puts on every year. It's a BIG deal! There were over 700 performers who auditioned and there were 100 finalists. The show/competition was 2 1/2 hours long, and well worth the $15 a ticket! There were SO many different performances! I think all 4 of our favorites was DEFINITELY the Pastor who was a Ventriloquist. He was HILARIOUS! We went to support a young man in our ward. He played drums in a jazz band. They did a great job! Our city has a ton of talent! Addi doesn't like loud noises, so when the bands with guitars were playing, she was kicking and having a hard time... but Adam and Amber held her and comforted her by rubbing Amber's belly. It calmed her down, and we're happy to know that she can definitely hear! We went to Ralphs for ice cream afterwards and ate it in the car. It was a fun date night.
Today Adam and Amber both had the day off. The day started off at the gym. Then we had a nice BIG breakfast at home. Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and...sweet potato fries... We didn't have any hash browns, so we just went with it. They were pretty good with the rest of breakfast. We played Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, then went and got the mail. After that, we went down to Petco to see all the pets. We don't want to get any pets, but we enjoy checking them out. It was a lot of fun. They had all kinds of animals! Chinchillas, lizards, turtles, tiny sharks, baby snakes, bearded dragons (we thought it would be fun to have one of those), frogs, zebra finches... the list goes on forever! The only thing they didn't have was dogs and cats! We were kind of sad. But, we moved on. After Petco, we went down to Target. Adam decided that he would start picking at the guitar again and start playing, but the Target we went to didn't have anymore guitars. Maybe next month. We left Target and headed down to Henry's. Henry's is a chain of specialty and natural food stores. We've never been, but seen lots of good ads for it with all the other grocery store ads we get. So, we thought we'd check it out. Turns out, we LOVED it! We'll be down there again, no doubt about that. Finally, we made it to Bed, Bath & Beyond. We've had a $50 gift card for BB&B since our wedding, but haven't used it yet. Amber wanted to make sure she used it well. We had a fun time in the store looking and playing with all the fun gadgets, and finally used the gift card. We got things we actually needed, and are very happy. For our date dinner, we had homemade fajitas. They were AMAZING! Adam does a great job at making his specialty fajitas. It was a great Family Day, and we were happy to have the day to spend together.
