We be Trippin'

The boys and I flew back home for a fun trip to see my brother who's leaving on a mission and all of my extended family.

Everyone but one person of my grandpa's 100+ posterity was there. This included all of his 8 children and spouses, their children and spouses and his great grandkids (a true miracle). The only missing link was Tan the man himself. He needed to save his days off to see his parents who are leaving on a mission next month. Pretty exciting times for us.

Grandpa got everyone tickets to Tarzan that wanted to come. With 20 minutes left in the show Liam turned to me and asked, "Are we outside?"

Grandpa's house

Homemade rockets.


Money hunt. Grandma chucks in some sweet change and the kids fight to the death to find it in the sawdust.

Before the hunt Liam was stung by either a wasp or bee on his cheek. 30 minutes before that he was stung on his arm. I kept asking him what the bug looked like to get an idea...

Later in the day he showed me this creature that Julian's holding. "Mom, this is the bug that bit me."

We really had such a fun time! Is Katie still with you in Montana? Hope the move goes swell.

Will you please bring that rocket thing to the cabin? I'm quite sure I can find several uses for it.

Looks like a ton of fun!!! I'm glad you were able to go and spend time with your family!

Preston saw one of the pictures of Liam and said, "He is my best friend, my BEST friend!" So cute! We sure miss you. Thanks for your wonderful blog so we can stay in touch! :-)
