Chester 2014: IV

Saturday was our last full day, and we had plans to fulfill!!! It was finally a nice warm, sunny, dry day, so we were able to go to all of our spots and get some good pictures of everyone. I had seen some places that I thought would be cool, so we packed everyone up and got ready to be photographed!!


After our picture session, we went and grabbed some lunch and then went to a store in Rigby called the Prepared Pantry. All I have to say is I LOVE this store!! It is a kitchen store (obviously) and they have all sorts of gadgets and stuff, but mostly they are known for their prepared or packaged mixes. They have things like cookie mixes, pancake mixes, bread machine mixes, and all sorts of stuff. The one thing that was the number one seller for me was a Mountainberry pancake mix with buttermilk syrup....OMG flippin to die for!!! I had never had or even heard of buttermilk syrup until Bev served it to us while we were there. I had to have some! When we got to The Prepared Pantry my sweet lover made a mistake- he let me loose- he turned to me and said "go for it babe...go spend some money..." and I was off like a prom dress! :) He took the girls and watched all three of them while I browsed, perused, and gathered, and by the time it was said and done I had a cart full of stuff!! He bought me 2 cookie/jelly roll pans, a French rolling pin, a pizza cutter, this rockin' cheese grater that has a storage container built into the bottom, a measuring spoon set that went all the way from a tablespoon down to a dash, pinch, and smidgen- I love those, a sno-cone maker, three flavored syrups, 3 cookie mixes, and get this- SIX buttermilk syrup mixes. They had a fantastic sale going on- if you spent up to 55dolaars you could have up to 6 buttermilk syrup mixes for a buck a piece!! I was all over it! The only sad thing is they didn't have any of the pancake mix I wanted, and when I came home and tried to order it online, it was out of stock, so I will just have to keep trying!


Saturday evening we had a small birthday party for Leslie, Louis' sister. Her birthday was the end of July o it worked out nicely that we were all able to gather and have a little shin-dig!
