I have to start off with how great Kim and her boys looked. I have heard how big Kim had gotten for a month or so now so it was a shock to see her looking so good. Cooper and Chase are adorable and I am really grateful for the time I was able to spend with them. I miss Kim and it was nice to see her and I'm glad Pete was so spontaneous. They are so fun to hold!
We did a lot of Utah things. First on Oscars list was to eat at Millie's. We ate at Millies a great deal when we lived there. It is just a couple of blocks from our old house which is for sale . Banbury Cross doughnuts was also on the list and visited twice.
Hans was also able to have a sleepover finally. He had grown tired of Siobhan and Oscar having people over and this was his turn. He and Landon had a great time together. This is Hans telling him a story involving Grandpa Fish which led to a whole discussion on how many grandpas each boy has. " Yes, you both have Grandpas that fish." "Yes, you are both lucky. " "Yes your dad is bigger than Uncle Pete but they can both be in charge."
Olive did not have a sleepover but she did get to go to school with Grandma. She made a lot of friends and is now obsessed with going to school. If only Washington had a clothing optional preschool.
I was so happy that my sisters-in-law all came up everyday. I know it's a hassle sometimes to load everybody up and drive but the kids had so much fun together. Even Olive had fun despite this picture. I am glad that the cousins made them feel at home by taking off their clothes as well. I wish that Jocelyn and Nathan could have been there also.
I love to see Olive and Darwin together. We watched Darwin for awhile when Gretchen was working and he holds a special place in my heart. I was so happy that they sat together for this picture.
There are so many pictures that I should probably stop here for now. I wish we had taken some pictures when we saw Ryan and Trisha. That was a lot of fun also. Overall, we had such a great time. We have been so homesick for Utah and being there just made us want to stay. So ,we'll see how the downtown store pans out so that we can get back. I think that Hans would like that. After a week there, when we sat down for dinner at the hotel last night Hans made us wait until someone said a prayer.
