Calling All Shortcuts!
I was recently called into YW and am trying to get my projects done for the medallion. I have made a goal/resolution to prepare our family's 72-hour kits in their entirety. Hence, I would like all your "Know how's" and insider tips to accomplishing this. Anything you have tried, anything you've heard through the grapevine would be greatly appreciated.

Time Goes By
I have been so busy lurking on some of your blogs that I have neglected mine own. So, here's what's been happening as time goes by.
Our 4th was quaint and quiet. We ventured to WALL-E for the first show of the day which was PACKED to the gills. But it was nice anyway. Sam has a habit of climbing up on my lap and falling asleep. I'm tired of paying for a seat for her.......We had Chris' parents here for a BBQ and then watched the Thanksgiving Point fireworks. How cheap are we? We didn't even purchase any fireworks this year. Shame Shame
This last week, I was set to attend Youth Conference for Thurs and Fri. Chris canceled his patients to stay home with the kids. Well, no one from our youth went. Why go and get sucked into cooking for 100's of kids when we could go on a little vaca with the family. So we made reservations for Cherry Hill and ventured north. It was lots of fun. We spent time in the water park and playing mini golf in between quick trips to the store for things we forgot to pack. It was actually comical what we forgot: pillows, dutch oven, spatula for flipping pancakes....I don't know if we spent more money on things to replace what we had left at home or the actual activities. Tyler is a little fish, Zacory is Mr. No-Adventure. We had to talk him into trying new things. And Samantha gained so much confidence when she realized she could touch the bottom of the "big" pool. We were all sun burned (darn sunscreen) and water logged when Saturday approached.
Saturday, we went to the Eccles Dinosaur Park. It was lots of fun and there were so many activities to participate in. If we lived North of SLC, I would consider a membership there. It was beautiful and held our kid's attention for hours. Of course, we could've spent longer there, but due to our prior exhaustion we didn't stay very long. Our kids were running out of steam and fast. So we came home a little early much to the relief of our precious Sasha. She really did miss us.
Family fun
I didn't know there were quails in the pre-crustacean period?
Chris just being himself, one of the boys.
