A visit from Grandma and Grandpa C.

Grandma and Grandpa C. came to visit us in July (yes, I guess I took a summer vacation from blogging.....I will slowly try to get caught up!) Here are some of the highlights from the time we spent with them....
1. We went to Bonneville Dam
(above) we were able to see a few fish trying to swim their way through!!
Kayleigh's favorite color is blue....she was wearing blue, and we couldn't resist taking a picture of her in front of these beautiful blue flowers!
After our visit to the Dam, we brought Grandma and Grandpa to one of our favorite hiking spots....Beacon Rock. It was a gorgeous afternoon for a hike!






We made it to the top!!! Gotta love the view!
We also went blueberry picking while Grandma and Grandpa were here. (and of course, we had to make a blueberry pie!!!
Jared was quite a piker, even thought he doesn't even like to eat blueberries!

Kayleigh wanted to see who could get the most blueberries picked.....she would walk around, and see who had the most berries in their bucket, and make up teams.....she was a lways on the winning team!!! she was a great picker....although, I think she ate them just as quick as she picked them!!!


Kayleigh was sooooo excited for Grandma to come visit us.....she kept saying when grandma comes, I want her to do my nails.....so, Grandma and Kayleigh had a "nail date!"

After Jessica had told grandpa all about one of the youth dances she had been to, he asked her if she would save a dance for him.....so, here is Jessica and Grandpa dancing together.

Other parts of the visit not caught in a photo, but worth mentioning:
*a trip to Sheridans for yummy custard!
*Grandma reading to the kids and tickling their backs each night at bedtime
*I have 2 sisters who live close by.....part of their visit to the NW included spening time in each of our homes....on the Sundays that they were in town, we gathered at one of the homes for a Sunday afternoon dinner and visiting.....so fun!!!
Thanks for coming mom and dad!!! It was fun!!
