We so enjoyed our recent time with my parents visiting! There are so many traditions they've established with the children, and even though they live so far away, they have such a great bond. I've loved seeing their relationship grow and deepen over time. And not to mention the complete vacation they gave me from the kitchen where my mom whipped up all our suppers, deserts, frozen meals and my dad took over the clean-up crew! Not that we didn't have any fun - we hiked around a beautiful lake near Logan, UT called Tony Grove and visited the local aquarium. They even helped the kids with their schoolwork one day which they thought was great! Here are some memories we made: We experienced the first cooooooolllllldddddd day at Tony Grove. It was in the 30's at the top - which was around 8500 ft elevation. Time to dig out the winter wear and hot cocoa!
The kids thought the fallen tree was the best place to explore and it's all we could do to keep little E from venturing out to the end of it which stuck way out into the lake.
No rock was left unclimbed! We were hoping to see some moose, elk or maybe even some mountain goats but all we caught a glimpse of were some free range COWS. Oh well! My quest for seeing wildlife in the wild continues! With all the noise we made hiking around the lake, any animal would've scattered long before we caught sight anyway!
On to the AQUARIUM! We just wrapped up studying coral reefs so this was a great field trip! That's a sting ray in the pool.
It's way fun to touch all the prickly and slimy sea cucumbers and starfish!
Esther couldn't wait to show DD her gymnastics moves! Not to be outdone, DD proved she can still keep up with a 3 year old!
More proof that you'd do anything for your grandchild. Esther loves "doing hair" and DD was her newest customer.
Warm wishes from snowy Utah! Kathy |
