We had fun parking in Sarah & Ryan's driveway for a few days--we fit a little better with our Journey than we did with the Condo!
We got there just in time for Lindee's 4th birthday. She loves the story of "Tangles" so Sarah made her a "Tangles" cake and I got to help decorate it! It turned out to be a masterpiece, with Sarah and Jenna's help.
Ryan & Sarah with their kids, Jenna, JT (now sometimes wanting to be called John), birthday girl Lindee, and Luke. What fun to get to share a granddaughter's birthday!
While we were in the Salt Lake area, we took time to go car shopping. We ended up with a little Dodge Neon. It is strange to have a car again. But, I must say, the Scentsy sign looks rather good on it. At least no one will laugh at us any more for carrying just bicycles on our car dolly!
This is where I turn over the Journey to Terry and I drive the Hippo towards home. I told him to remember that he could not put the Journey on cruise and go back and make himself a sandwich or anything!
Since Sarah's other kids were in school, we grabbed Lindee and took her with us. This is the first time she has spent the night anywhere without Mom and Dad or any brothers or sister. She did great. She got a little sad the next morning so we let her call Mom. We didn't know until later that Sarah was at the school helping out in one of the kids classrooms, and Lindee just left a voicemail! We thought she acted a little funny as she was talking, and she finally just hung up!
Here is a "bathing beauty" getting dried off after swimming in the hot springs pool. She is a little fish in the water! We had lots of fun with her.
Sarah and the rest of the family came that evening and stayed with us until the next morning when we headed to Idaho Falls to Shay's for Tyson's baptism. We broke in the Journey pretty well and found out there is plenty of sleeping room for eight!
We are so proud of Tyson for making the decision to be baptized into the Chuch, and of Shay for being worthy to baptize him. He is the last one in Shay's family to be baptised. Boy, the kids sure grew up fast!
Tyson's cousins, JT and Luke, are happy and proud of Tyson, too.
We got a chance to stop at Malad City, ID, before we headed back to Emmett, and visited with my Uncle Dan and his wife Joyce. They have such a nice place, out a ways from town. They have lots of deer and animals come right into their yard. Uncle Dan is my Dad's older brother. He and one other, Uncle Bill, are the only sibblings of my Dad's left. It was so good to visit with him and catch up on their news.
Well, I guess our season is about over and we are headed back to Emmett for a couple of months.
