Visit with my Dad

My dad came into town, and we went to lunch with him at the Blue Iguana. It's a Mexican restaurant, and the food was really good. I had never been there before and would recommend anyone who loves Mexican food to try it. It was nice visiting with my dad.

After lunch we were all walking out and I asked my dad to take a photo of Benton and I. So while he was doing that, a lady walked past and asked "Where are you guys from?" and it made me feel silly, I just replied "Oh you know, from the Layton area". I couldn't help but laugh, so here's our silly photo of us out of towners...


My dad ended up bringing with him a tote that had stuff from my childhood, it was so fun looking through everything. I found this doll that I absolutely loved, my mom told me that it's probably about 60 years old now, Benton thought it was scary, so I'll let you judge for yourself...


She has a cracked head as you can see, but I think she's so cute (I'm probably biased)

Aww the doll is super cute, but without her hat I agree with Benton, a little creepy. Looks like you guys had fun.

Very cool, I love pulling things out from my childhood, I am sentimental like that. Ok, put the Blue Iguana on the annual brothers and sisters holiday dinner list!

yeah . . I have to agree with Benton: it's slightly creepy ;)
We eat at Bennihana's quite a bit and I've always wondered about the Blue Iguana. Maybe next time we're down there I can persuade Tim to forgo the sushi!

oh my goodness! I remember that doll. I don't think she is creepy, but I can see why Benton (or anyone) might.

Hmmm, I think that doll is a little scary too. I am sure you love her though, brings back good memories for you at least!

I think it's a really cute doll, I feel sorry for it with the cracked head, but still really cute! I love Red Iguana I have only been there once, but it was fantastic, I just never make it down to Salt Lake to go there.

I have a baby Souli thinks is scarry too. I don't think she is. I love babies. It so fun to spend time with our dads. I've never been to that restaurant.
