Yesterday we skated at the NEW Ice Ribbon in Bount Yesterday we skated at the NEW Ice Ribbon in Bountiful. 54 E 100 S. 

We actually went skating twice over the long weekend, once at the indoor rink at the South Davis Rec Center in Bountiful, too. 

Both are fun places to skate. But I hadn’t skated in 25 years, and my boys had never really been (except for some chaotic group classes we tried a few years ago). 

Just going to the rinks as a family and renting skate walkers was so much better than the group classes. So that’s our tip. 

Yesterday, I even used the granny (skate) walker, which is kid size. No shame here! The ice was super slick after the Zamboni had done its job. 

We like the Ice Ribbon better than the indoor rink because you can easily sit down with skates on by the outdoor firepit. Plus the handrailing is a bonus (indoor rink doesn’t have one). 

You can enjoy Fiiz refreshments onsite too. They offer hot and cold beverages plus macarons. I’m on a health kick and enjoy their flavored waters. 

We reserved our skating ahead of time at southdavisrecreation.com. The Ice Ribbon is open daily in the afternoons. 

Prices for general public: $6 per adult; $4.50 per child. Members: $3 per adult; $2.50 per child. $2 ice skate rental per person. $5 to rent skate walker. 

Not wanting to drive to Bountiful? We have a list of all the ice rinks that are open during covid. LINK IN BIO. 

Have you been yet? Where do you love to skate?

Winter often makes us think of ice skating. And fo Winter often makes us think of ice skating. And for many of us, the kids are out of school this Monday AND Tuesday. So we thought we'd share this list, updated for covid, so you can see who's open AND have something fun for the kids to do (if you're like us and didn't head to Southern Utah). Our actual website post has more details and website links. LINK IN BIO.⠀

After my kids finished their schoolwork at home ye After my kids finished their schoolwork at home yesterday, we decided to take a little field trip. They always love going in to Salt Lake. 

I didn’t even tell them we were going to the Gilgal sculpture garden. They’d never even heard of it. 

I’d been 20 years ago when I was an editor for the Ensign magazine. We’d been invited as a staff to see it. Back then it was private property and visits were by appointment only. The garden was unkempt and things were falling apart. So it was a somewhat strange, ho-hum visit. Our guide kept making us listen to his songs while he played on the guitar. 

Fast forward 20 years and the garden is very nice and tidy. There are a few benches if you want to sit a bit. There’s a brochure you can read to learn about the sculptures by Thomas Child, who died in 1963. This time, I actually found myself admiring his work and wondering how he achieved such precision without a lot of power tools. 

Gilgal is an interesting visit, and not everyone will appreciate it. You probably won’t stay long, about 30 minutes. It’s located near Trolley Square, so you could easily pair the visit with that experience too. 

I might add that we brought our dog on a leash. I had doggie doo bags and needed them. There’s a trash bin at the park but no baggies are available. Please bring your own. Also, no amenities (no bathroom, drinking fountain). 

Any questions? Have you been?

Have you ever been snorkeling or scuba diving at t Have you ever been snorkeling or scuba diving at the Homestead Crater in Midway? It's so fun--and warm. It's a geothermal hot spring. Groupon has a deal going on right now for $30, Mon-Thurs, for 1 40-minute soak. 4 individuals is $60, and 6 is $89. Prices include snorkeling gear.⠀

This is our last stop on our Cache Valley factory tour. I'm a Cache Valley native and have never actually been to this factory outlet. We ran out of time during our last visit to the area, but I'm curious and will stop in for some pics another time.⠀

Stop 4 on our Cache Valley factory outlet tour. Th Stop 4 on our Cache Valley factory outlet tour. The ever-popular goldfish crackers, as you know, are made by Pepperidge Farm. What you may not know is that they’re made at the Richmond, Utah, factory.

For at least two decades, probably more, my Aunt Janet made these crackers to support her three children. She was a single mother and worked many long hours to provide for her family. 

Due to covid, the Pepperidge Farm outlet store is not open. The notice on the doors does not indicate when they may reopen. We’ll try to give you an update when we have more info. We have family who live in the area, so we visit often. Also, if you find out, please let us know. 

When they are open, you can buy a variety of their factory seconds, including cookies, cakes, and Campbell’s soup products. Located at 901 N Hwy 91. 

Nearby is Lower Foods Inc. They are a meat wholesaler. I honestly don’t know much about their products. About 25 years ago, my dad worked for them briefly. They weren’t kind to him, and I haven’t been inclined to purchase their products. 

But I do mention them here because they are a factory outlet in the area. 

So don’t drive up yet for Pepperidge Farm, but it’s near the other places we’ve been telling you about, if you’ve been following our factory tour. ☺️

Continuing our visual tour of factory outlets in C Continuing our visual tour of factory outlets in Cache Valley. This is 3/5. @gossnerfoods is a favorite stop for us whenever we’re up in Logan. Scroll through the pics to see a few of our favorite things there. The cheese is so fresh. You’ll find a variety of fresh cheese that’s not perfectly shaped in blocks like it is at the store. But it’s the best tasting and priced at a discount. This place is worth our stop every time. And they have amazing ice cream too! You can get a cone or purchase larger quantities. 1051 N 1000 W, Logan. Winter hours Mon-Sat are 8 am to 6 pm.

We’re continuing our tour of factory outlets in We’re continuing our tour of factory outlets in Cache Valley with this next stop at Casper’s in Richmond (address above). If you’ve ever had a Fat Boy or Casco, you’ve tasted one of their fabulous products. During covid, the lobby of their malt shoppe at HQ is closed, but their drive-thru is open. You can order a variety of yummy treats, freshly made, or purchase packaged factory seconds. The product taste isn’t compromised, but the packaging may be a bit off or not aesthetically perfect. We show a price pic from their FB page, but it’s likely not current. But their website is caspericecream.com. You could call before making a long drive to learn exact pricing. We’ve also messaged them, hoping they’ll comment with pricing. @fatboyicecream The view across from the malt shoppe is a beautiful country setting. It’s a fun drive.

Have you been to the Lazy One factory outlet in Lo Have you been to the Lazy One factory outlet in Logan? We love shopping there. I’m sure you’ve seen these cute products at boutiques and shops while on vacation: Bear Lake, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, and more. Well, they’re made in Logan and you can find great deals there. I picked up some adorable clearance items, starting at $1-3. 

In addition to clearance items, they sell their new stuff at reasonable prices too. I saw pj tops for $17. So it just kind of depends on what you want. And it’s a fun place to browse. Pjs, socks, aprons, kitchen mitts and towels, baby onesies and pjs, bibs—lots of cute stuff. 2885 N 200 W, Logan.  @lazyone_outlet
