It's always fun at Grandma's house

Chilling in the backyard playing with the hose and eating Popsicles

One of many forts they made during the week

Dallin thoroughly enjoying his s'mores!

Julia wearing goggles while roasting a hot dog because the "smoke was burning her eyes" :)

I love the fire pit in my parents backyard - my kids and I took full advantage of it too!

Dallin lovin' the extra swimming time

Lorraine scoring more points with the kids

Lovin the pool time at Aaron's pool even though he was out of town

Lorraine even slept on the trampoline with Dallin and Julia!

One of the weeks that Jared was gone, we decided that we would go and visit my family for a week to help keep my sanity. My parents had just gotten back from being in the Nauvoo pageant with my four younger siblings and my two youngest siblings were starting school that week too, so we tried to lay low and not be an extra burden, but between my parents awesome backyard, my brothers pool only 15 minutes away and my sister who was killing time before her next semester started at BYU Idaho my kids were very entertained. Thanks mom and dad for putting up with the extra noise and toys strewn through your house - I guess that is payment for all the years of free babysitting I gave to you guys! :)
