The first of October my parents drove 2,500 miles from Utah to Erie PA for a visit. My sister told me that my Dad said "Nothing sounds like more fun to me right now than a road trip" and my Mom's response was "Sounds like Hell on Wheels to me"! Those of you who know my Mother will know that she reserves swearing for the utmost of important occasions, so this was big! They came across the land in "the rig" their dually Chevy diesel truck with the camper on the back. It was a beautiful time of year with leaves changing and plenty of places to stop along the way. It took them about a week to get here, and about 4 days to get home. The kids were thrilled to see Grandma and Grandpa and of course play in the camper. Me, Reagan and Dylan spent a long and rainy night out in the camper with only about 10 "we are going inside moments" .... but we survived the night and came in for breakfast bright and early.
We hit the beach one night for a hot dog roast. There wasn't a sole in sight it was nice spending our time; running around, playing with the frisbee & sticks, eating, throwing Wally in the lake and trying to keep Jack out of the lake.
The folks were here over General Conference so they got the experience of watching it online with us. We have a windscreen I mac and once we got Conference to load (in English not French) it was great. We also did our share of sitting around watching the cute kids while they were here! Reagan did a little TaeKwondo for us, Dylan did some Light-saber moves and Jack showed his talents by eating things and getting into stuff. (pretty much his everyday) We also got to hit the Quaker Steak and Lube, and Wes had some time away from studying to come with us, YEAH! Thanks for the visit Grama and Gramps!
Glad it was warmer this time around :-)
