Rec Center

Tim made it home (finally!) and we picked up my cousin's son Conor and headed to Vernal. We ate lunch at Wendy's (Jarek's choice) then spent a couple of hours at the Rec Center. I had intended to take the kids to the Rec Center several times this summer... we finally made it for the first time last week. It is really nice but they're pretty strict, the lifeguards walk around with their whistles in their mouths and blow them constantly. They have a huge rock wall that Jarek and Conor both attempted to climb before we went into the pool, but neither one of them made it very high. After the pool we came home and I made dinner. Jarek had requested lasagna, which I don't do, and deviled eggs (odd, huh?), so the lasagna was Stouffers but I did make the eggs. He also wanted this Pillsbury chocolate caramel crumb cake that Tristen used to request for his birthday all the time, but of course we couldn't find it anywhere (I think they may have discontinued it....) so I improvised on that too and put dollops of caramel in a regular chocolate cake and made my own crumb topping. It wasn't quite the same, but Jarek seemed to like it anyway.
