When my sister came to town...

Not a lot of blogging this past week, my very favorite sister came to visit and it was so grand!! We did fantastic things like find what has to be one of the best street names ever- Fiddlesticks, wow!! Good thing we were prepared to document this fine find...
We also took time to appreciate Cousin Ben's aquatic skills, fully clothed is definitely the way to go! Fortunately, Uncle Allen waded in to remove Ben's belt before it was completely water-logged...
We celebrated Miss Kendell (thinking aloha here with Gramma Sharlene) turning the big 1-0 (she is pumped to have turned an even number, we are all so relieved)-and how great to have cousins in town for the momentous occasion...
We also had the fantastic and original idea of heading to Thanksgiving Point for "$2.00 Tuesday" along with every other resident with small children along the Wasatch Front! Kari, Brody, and Curtis all get super-sport points for waiting in a long line to get to see smelly (and yet kind of cute) pigs and geese behind a fence. We were planning to take in the dinosaur museum, but the 45-plus minute wait to get in there greatly influenced our choice of attractions, although Uncle Allen and Aunt Jessica get bonus points for waiting in that very long line so the other boys could get up close and personal with the dinos...

Thanks for coming, Auntie Kari and Jack and Cole and Brody!! Next time we'll get a picture with the sisters both actually in it!!

Happy Birhtday to Kendel! She is a darling 10 year old! I have to agree, even numbers are good. Glad you had fun with Kari too! xo

Oh the walk down memory lane was most enjoyable. I'm still thinking that when we finally get to live next door to eachother...we move to "Fiddlesticks Lane" Love it-love you!
