Science Center. Take two.

We had so much fun on our last major outing before school starts. You could easily spend days exploring the science center. The children love it. Also the photos are all in reverse order, and I am way too lazy to go though and fix them. Enjoy.

We had a lovely last summer before school starts. Kaylee is super excited for school. I'm a little weepy.

Grandpa’s Funeral

Jon's Grandfather's funeral was lovely. It was a LONG drive to get there, but we are so glad we went. It was so very nice to be able to be with family and remember such a great man. It was a happy sad family reunion.

Jon's Grandpa was a Marine. It was awesome to see uniformed Marine's there and see them show their respect for a fellow Marine.

I was able to meet lots of family for the first time IN person. Facebook and blogs are nice, but only get you so far. Karen I hope we meet again in person soon rather than later. Karen family is also hoping to adopt. Go check them out.

The following day we headed back south to spend some time with the southern Utah family. We played lots of Canasta. I cannot think of Grandpa without thinking of canasta. It was a favorite of his, and so we play. Plus it's a wicked fun game.

248Aunt Shelly taught Kaylee how to make duck lips from Pringles. I love her cross eyed face as she tries to look at it.

All in all it was just a lovely trip.
