First stop after a long drive was to my sister Merry's house. They had new kitties. This trip was all about cousins and kittens!
We then made it in time to pick some veggies at grandma's for dinner. I always forget how beautiful it is. Look at the view. Wish I could raise my kids up on the hill.
They loved working in grandma's garden.
We brought their old bikes to ride around. You can see my dad working on part of grandma's new chicken coop.
Even grandma has a kitten
That poor kitty never found a good hiding spot
O and his buddies. It's so nice to go to grandma's. Both Wendy and Teddy live there.
Jarom made grandma and grandpa visit the magic tree house
My brother baby Joe is getting really good at the piano. Little fingers always love to help make music.

Right after the wedding I hurried up the hill to the river. My parents took the kids up there for a nice cool dip. Daddy coming to Merry's rescue. Those are her two babes. She has THREE more. She is a champ!!
Me and little sis Merry
mud pies coming right up
Of course Jarom makes a friend and steals their floaty.
Taking a break
And this is the end result - dead tired

Going for a little ride
Jarom wanted to take everyone for a ride.

Mikie to Bella's rescue, she had a sliver
Down to Folsom to get fireworks, but they were all sold out!!
We improvise with some snaps and party poppers

John and Merry (Mary?) had another baby!!?? I didn't even know that she was pregnant! It has been a while since Forrest has worked with them, but John didn't say anything about another baby! Tell them congratulations.
I'm really bummed we didn't get to see you, by the way! Stop by next time.
Bridal Veil, Camp Nauvoo, your parents house--all the prettiest places in the hills. You and Merry are so cute. You look the same as you did in high school.
i can't believe i never commented on this. i have looked it over more than once. i'm a big dork but i love looking at all your little pics and the way you tell the stories, for example, the simple caption "got dizzy." so cute and succinct! anyway i love it so much when you guys are in town even though it is a whirlwind, it is such a FUN ONE!!! claudia and lowell smith have created some greatness up there on the hill, it's like a little empire of babies, love, growth, and beauty. so nice to see all this.
What a wonderful trip! It was so great to see you and my grandbabies on the 4th of July! Thanks for letting me model my new clothes. That was so fun. Love you honey, Nana
