Turtle Hell

Today we visited the turtle farm and the city of Hell.

The little DIVA

7 month old turtle

The turtle was trying to fly away!

Yay for Shark Week!

The hatchery!

Feeding the turtles

After we saw the turtles we went to Hell and back!

Grand Cayman!

We made it to Grand Cayman! We got here on Saturday. Josh had to apply for an international drives license so he could drive here.

The van we got is TINY. Most of the cars here are pretty little.

Whoa!!! The steering wheel is on the wrong side and so are all the cars!

We are staying in a condo that is right on the beach! Its beautiful. The beach and the water are just perfect. Water temperature is wonderful and there isn't seaweed!

I could live right here!

I am here in Florida...

and its definitley not the Florida that you think of when anyone mentions Florida. Fort White, Florida (aka Cave Country) is in the red neck woods of Florida. There are dozens of beautiful springs that have underwater cave systems, that crazy people scuba dive in. The water in the springs is cold at first but it is so much better then sweating to death in the 100 degree weather with 100% humidity.

The girls (minus me) doing their Cavern course with Josh.

Floating down the Ichetucknee river!

We watched a spider spin its web.

I will posted more pictures later.

Pistachio Crusted Chicken

Josh and I got a HUGE bag of pistachios from Costco, one while eating a hand full of them a thought came to me 'pistachio chicken sounds really good!' I googled it and found a recipe that seemed easy and I had all the ingredients except the Dijon mustard but Megan gave me a little of hers! Josh had spent the day in Wendover with Michael taking an advanced pistol class. I had dinner ready when he got home.



After dinner Josh showed me what he learned in his class!

Pistachio Crusted Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped pistachios
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch strips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Mix together pistachios and bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper until smooth. Dip chicken into Dijon mixture to coat, then coat with bread crumbs. Place onto prepared baking sheet.
3. Place into preheated oven and turn the oven down to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake until the chicken is no longer pink and the pistachio coating is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

A few Saturdays ago...

Josh and I went on a bike ride and then we went to Noah's soccer game! It was so cute!

That evening we went with Megan, Dave, Brinlee, Michael, Emmy, Kevin and Malorie to the west side of Utah Lake so they guys could shoot guns and we made a fire and had dutch oven food! Our first attempt at dutch oven. It turned out good. We made BBQ chicken and potatoes, we planned on making peach cobbler but we didn't have a can opener. It was freezing but we had fun! And we found out its illegal to burn a wooden pallet in Utah county!

Josh ruined Emmy's target...

here is a closer look!

I havent kept my goal :(

I have a few things that I want to blog about, I even have one blog started but I can't get the pictures to work.  I am blogging from work right now (which I probably shouldn't be doing).  I will have even more to blog about tomorrow, so hopefully I can find the time to catch everyone up on my life.

I get a new niece tomorrow! YAY!
