The best part of visiting NY is being able to spend time with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. It's unbelievable how fast the kids all grow in a year. My Dad (Grandpa Don) and
stepmom (
Gramma Gretchen) had a picnic
barbecue at their house one afternoon. They have a fun yard for the kids to run around in. This is our family in front of one of their pretty flower beds.
They had a little pool for the kids to swim in. Below are
Dagan, Logan, Morgan and their cousin Charles (who looks like he may have just submersed himself without intending too). It was predictable NY weather--hot and very humid, so the pool was very refreshing for them.
Morgan wasn't too sure of Grandpa Don's dog--he's a bit larger than our 13 lb. dog! Morgan made many attempts to befriend him cautiously.
My Dad is a "hobbyist" if there is such a word. This makes him both fun and memorable to the kids. He flies model planes, does train layouts and recently purchased this little helicopter shown below.
Dagan and Logan thought it was one of the neatest things they had ever seen.
Here they are as junior train conductors in the basement, amused by Grandpa Don's Lionel trains. We've sent a couple of things in this layout for Christmases and it's fun to see how we've contributed from Utah.
We went out for pizza with Tara's other brother, Justin's, family. Peyton, who is 3 yrs. and the same size as Logan who is almost 5 yrs., is the leader in the picture below. They kids did some really cute poses on their own just playing with each other and having fun.
I was able to get together with one of my close friends from high school right before we left town. I remember Katie as having one of the most cute, kind and sweetest personalities of anyone I have ever met--which hasn't changed a bit! It was fun to reminisce and catch up.
