the Smorsgasbord

This past Friday, after many weeks of planning and anticipation, we finally made our way to the palace of eating; Shady Maple. Originally, Mimi and Doug were planning on taking John and Abe down as treat for their help at the Messiah Sing Along and as a celebration of Mimi not being nauseated all the time. But, as I got accepted to BYU and Dad's prospects for this job looked brighter and we discovered that Mike had never been to the smorsgasbord, we made it into a whole family affair. Its been years since most of us have been to Shady Maple. Last time we went Dad called the new, bigger establishment an abomination, so we never returned. With all the special occasions though, we decided to venture back and we were not disappointed. The new building and set up of Shady Maple is very different from our much loved old one, but it still has bits of the old place around it. The classic 3D pictures were still hanging on the wall. Doug went crazy (as it was his first time at a smorsgasbord too), Shana and Abe tied in the competition to see who could eat more food, and Mike beat them both. Mimi enjoyed eating food without feeling sick and Bekah loved being able to have 3 servings of ice cream. It was just a lot of fun for everyone. We plan on returning in another 5-10 yrs.
