Down South

My college roomate Valerie Salt has been inviting us down to her cabin "Down South" at Fremont Utah for several years. This weekend Steven and I took her up on it. Valerie was a wonderful hostess and we really had a grand adventure. We were so busy having fun that we forgot to take pictures of where we were or what we did. But this is what we have.

Her property borders the BLM lands. We went on four wheelers up above her cabin. It was like snowmobiling on four wheelers.

Valerie and Jeff spend a lot of time just hiking the mountains .

So we went hiking too. Its a good thing that I have been walking this winter or I probably would have just dropped dead with all the hiking we did.

This is a dandy cave we saw. Valerie already knew about it.


This petroglyph was on the roof of it. We hope no one finds it and ruins it.




We really had so much fun. Thanks Valerie for letting us come.

Babysitting

We babysat Xander this weekend

Heidi and Jared had a party to go to

He was a perfect little boy.

Leisa and Cole came to visit too.

Cole loves Grapes.

He is always so disappointed when he

can't eat the rubber ones on my kitchen table

so I went and bought some.

Aren't they cute eating them.

Xander thinks that when you sleep out or over

you should eat powdered donuts.

and he did.

I got some new puzzles to do.

One is a super Why puzzle.

It came with a magnifying glass.

Xander is really good at puzzles.

Thanks for letting me play Grandma.

Visit to Isaacs family

We went to visit Isaac and his family in Moscow Idaho.

The saddest part was that we forgot to take our camera .

So we didn't get good pictures just using our phone.

We had a really good time.

The children were darling and are growing up so fast.

Thanks Isaac and Jennylyn for letting us come and spend the weekend.

Grandkids are fun!

Leisa came and spent the weekend.

Cole is sure growing up.

We all went to Xanders birthday party.

I can't believe he is four all ready.

Heidi made delicious Cafe Rio Burritos for us.

Chelsea came and visited a couple of weeks ago.
Serena is sure growing.

All the grandkids love their Grandpa
