Grandkids!

We had a delightful visit from Jim, Rebecca, Emily, and Jared.  They arrived on Thursday evening and on Friday we went to San Juan Hill. 

 The kids climbed San Juan Hill, and we got pictures, but somehow I lost them and erased everything off the SD card before I realized they weren't with these.  This shows the petroglyphs and ruins at the River House ruins.

And this is the River House Ruins with Jared, Rebecca, Emily, and me.

As we were leaving, several cows had chosen the road to rest in.  Guess the soft sand must have been comfortable.

 Tanner, Sara, and Hyrum arrived on Friday at dinner time. On Saturday we took them to Bridges, Mule Canyon Ruins, Moki Dugway, Goosenecks and Bluff.

Here we are at Bridges enjoying the view.

                             We enjoyed a picnic lunch while we were still in the bridges park.

                                        Here we are at the Goosenecks of the San Juan

On Saturday evening Sara made a cake for the sex reveal of their expected baby.

When they cut it open, out spilled pink and purple beads! It's a girl!

On Sunday we all went to Monticello for Jack's blessing.  This picture had too much light, but it is four generations, Tammy, Jayden, Jack, and Gary.

And here I am feeding Hyrum after lunch at JJ and Tammy's.

We then drove to Provo where we spent the night and then met Gerritt and Melissa and spent Monday with them.

Our first stop was at an ice cream shop where Melissa got a special doughnut.

We walked across the street and saw the Provo City Center Temple.  It was Monday, so we couldn't go inside the gates, but we could see everything we wanted to see.

We then went to the Monte L. Bean Museum on the BYU Campus. The kids loved it.  This picture is blurry, but you can see a snake painted on the stairs slithering between the kids.

Gerritt and all the kids showing their big mouths!

Caitlin playing with the ant farm.  The ants were metal discs and they had magnets on sticks so the kids could move them around the ant farm.

We went to Kwint and Gina's house that evening where we had dinner and Family Home Evening.  Here we all are:  Kwint, Gary, Abby, Ben, Kaeleb, Gina, Caitlin, Brennan, Gerritt, and Melissa.
We had a wonderful time enjoying grandkids and kids on both sides of our family!
