I have come to find out that "going to get drinks" is a Utah thing. I was suprised to find this out when I moved to New York, and then again when I met Chasey. I would say, "lets go get a drink and go for a drive." No one knew what I was talking about or thought it sounded fun, except the other girls from Utah!
Just to fill the non -Utahans in on the drink scoop, here it is! Ever since I was little I would go get a drink from the gas station with my mom or sister or whoever, and then go for a drive around town ( So did every other Utahan). My mom would go with her friends at night to get a drink. Then they would sit in the driveway and talk for hours.When I got older I would do the same thing with my friends, but the driving was filled with gossip and music! When I moved to Provo it was the same routine. I dont know why it is such a fun thing, but it was and still is! Like I said no one in New York got the whole concept, but the Utah nannies and I LOVED cruisin' down by the beach with our drinks. When I say drinks I mean Diet Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper... soda drinks. Its something that I grew up doing, and still do today.
So.......
why would it be any different with Rylee?!?! We go for our daily drink fix every afternoon. Dont worry Ry gets apple juice or water, while I get my Diet Dr. Pepper. Every once in awhile Ry gets a few tastes of my drink. She has figured out how to hold the cup and suck from the straw, so she thinks she has to have my drink now. She cracks me up when she drinks mine cause the cup is as big as she is!
She definately has her mamas jeans!

You are so right! My husband and I actually talked about this the other day, how it is so Utah to go out just for drinks. I have never heard of anything like that anywhere but in Utah! :)
One of my favorite things to do. My kids and I go every couple days. I get a coke with lime and the kids get Sixlets. perfect!
I love to go get drinks with friends or my mom or sometimes... even by myself. Then I just enjoy my drink and drive around...
