After ten minutes, the boys were chattering nonstop. Was it the Poptarts or the discussion of which way the toilet flushes on the other side of the world? Within twenty-four hours they were drawing plans of the future house they would build together.
The instant camaraderie was a bit of a relief for Kellie and I, because we already knew we were lifelong friends. Have you read Selwyn’s Sanity? Every post is lyrical, gorgeous writing alternating between heartbreaking and hilarious. Kellie is in Utah for the Segullah Writing Retreat and the sublime thrill of devouring Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
We are trying to introduce them to the best of Utah and America: cookouts in the canyon, Temple Square, swimming, Costco, Cafe Rio, Lagoon, a neighborhood parade, birthday parties, fireworks, marathons on the Wii, Lake Powell, Jolly Ranchers, Cafe Normandie, wild games of tag in the basement and nightly arm-wrestling. All of which begs the question–
G’day mate!

Sue

Rachelle
Looks like tons of fun! I loved their terms for different things~ bubbler~ how cute.
Jess
Oh she most definitely will! I love that spunky girl! Can I come to your house some day so Leo can see what life with brothers is like? I think he’d find it perfectly satisfying!
Tifani says...
Even if Tracy comes over, you will still need girls to balance things out. Can we come, too?
La Yen
How fun– I love her blog, and am so jealous of all those who get to go to the Segullah retreat!
And while you are up to the Lagoon, grab some spudnuts. Oh, gravy, the spudnuts…
