Enjoying the Family

July gave us a chance to spend a little time with our out-of-state kids.  We didn't take many pictures, but we enjoyed being with them.

We stopped in the "burg" to see Katie, Martell and Sally.  We didn't take the camera to the geology museum, but we enjoyed watching Martell give a tour to some cub scouts and seeing the exhibits and the famous fish tank.  Before the fish died due to a power outage.

We enjoyed playing with Sally and watching her play.  We brought the little grocery cart that has been living in the rafters of the garage for many years and Sally liked pushing that around.




Martell had class, but we talked Katie into going to the water park with Sally.  It was a  quick visit - just before nap time.  But we loved watching her explore firmly attached to her mother's finger. Her hair doesn't look that red indoors or even when it's wet indoors, but a little damp in the sunlight it seems quite red.















David and Mike and Nate enjoyed some good laughs and went to Sacred Harp singing.  We went to church in N&M's ward.  M played the organ and N taught the priesthood lesson.  Good to see them contributing and to meet people in their ward.
 

Sue and Mom/Grandma went to a quilt show.
We enjoyed taking the grands around to various places including Erin Thomas' marriage to Travis Mumford.  It gave us a good idea of their amazing strength and vitality and insight into their limitations in this 10th decade of their lives.





+One the way home we stopped at Shoshone Falls.  We've never stopped there before, but would like to see it when the water is high.

The last stop was one or our traditional favorites, Deadman's Pass overlook in Oregon where we ate our cheese sandwiches and drank our V8 juice and stretched our stiff legs.

There is never enough time to spend with all of you.
