Dad and mother

My parents drove out from California to visit for 5 days. That is such a long drive, but it was so worth it having them here to mix and mingle with all of my clan at their convenience. They stayed at the Baymont by Hale Theatre, so we had to take them to the latest musical playing..The Wedding Singer. A bit wild for them, but we also took them to Jenny Oaks Baker on Temple Square one evening, so quite the extreme in entertainment! Mother was a real trooper, for not liking to travel these days. They made it home safely.

Meeting of the Greats!

My parents, Rosemarie and Don Twogood, drove out to see Dave and family, so we took some new photos of our clan with them.

We get to see them summer and Christmas each year while they are stationed in Nebraska.

Sheila arranged a visit with her cousin Jenny and kids while they were in Oakley, so we spent a fun evening meeting Ellie, and playing with Luke.

Cousins unite!

Some of the cousins gathered for some backyard water fun. I picked up some water guns of all sizes, filled a couple pools, set-up a slip'n slide, and they all used their imaginations as usual.
