Weekend Extravaganza!!

This weekend the kids and I went down to Vernal, Utah with my parents! My grandparents and Aunts live down there and we wanted to join them for a visit. My parents flew in on Thursday afternoon and Ragnar drove me down to meet them. First we drove down to Heber, Utah and spent the night with the Blickenstaffs our old friends from Humble, Texas. They have a beautiful cabin that they let us stay in and we enjoyed a nice dinner and some fun chatting. Ella loved the rocks around the cabin and the fun swings! The view was beautiful and it was a little chilly in the morning and evening.



















After Heber we left the next day to Vernal to see my grandparents. We arrived and had a nice dinner and played cards and enjoyed the nice weather. The next day we went for a picnic at the at "Remember the Maine" park. Ella loved the slides and my dad even showed her a few tricks flipping around the bars! We had a yummy picnic!




















The next day we picked peaches and played outside and we enjoyed time with our other grandparents the Haws! I think Ella was confused about grandparents, because we had two sets of great grandparents and one set of grandparents, so everyone was grandma or grandpa, but she had a special place for Grandpa Speers who would play with her and Aunt Natalie who would have a tea party with her!We had a fun few days and were glad they put up with our little munchkins! We love you grandmas and grandpas!

Ragnar was looking a little lonely at church on Sunday. Now I know why. Your weekend looks like lots of fun. I love that your dad is having such a good time on the playground.
