Today we picked up Clarence and headed out to run some errands and then go to a pizza place for lunch offering gluten free pizzas and pastas. We got 2 pizzas and a lasagna that were quite good.
Next we stopped by the factory outlets to find some good deals since we had a little time to kill.
Then we headed to Midway to the Homestead resort where we went swimming in a natural limestone crater with wonderful 95 degree water. Since the crater is 65 feet deep it is often used by scuba divers for training. When we went 7 years ago we were allowed to float on some noodles and free dive, but since some bozo overestimated his swimming abilities, everyone is now required to wear life jackets. It took a bit of the enjoyment out of the swim but it was still fun. Eric brought his waterproof GoPro so we had fun taking videos.
For Clarence's official birthday dinner we took him to the restaurant in Sundance. This is one of my favorite places to visit especially this time of year. We had another wonderfully tasty meal! My baby back ribs fell right off the bone and into my mouth and the cornbread was scrumptious. Ally had "the best salmon of her life" and Eric had a sensible chicken salad. Then came the dessert menu again. Ally decided to stick with cheesecake, this time was a butterscotch flavor. I ordered a lemon cream parfait and Eric got the banana split brownie sundae. We swapped them half way through being sure not to miss out on all the deliciousness. It is a good thing we have been keeping up on our morning exercise routines :)
After dinner we explored the beauty of the area and took lots of pictures. Another fun day and was a memorable way to celebrate his 76th birthday. Happy Birthday Clarence/Dad/Grandpa Wells!
