We gathered with all the family one day at my brother Michael's house.
We ate.
The kids swam and played.
We had a little ping pong competition.
We visited.
And the kids watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in their cool theater room. Mike even supplied all the kids with candy bars and popcorn which they loved.
We don't have Ferry's in Utah so we wanted to make sure to take a ferry to an island one day.
Mom and daughters.
Angelo, Cora, Charles and Shaun.
Shaun, Ellen and Robin.
Cora and Nora were on the search for cool sea shells and dead baby crabs. They found a ton!
The older kids mostly collected sand dollars.
On the top of the ferry, we had a fun time at certain spots on the boat, with the extreme winds.
Scott and I went jogging together a couple of times and one day we jogged a trail and then also did all the exercises they had throughout the trail.
We love this hike at St Edwards Park. It's gorgeous, all shady in a very wooded area, and then you finish out at the water.
Charles and I found a tree to sit in and watch the water and the kids playing.
The day we left we made a stop at my dad's grave. We sure love and miss Grandpa.
We are sure grateful for Gran, we love her and always hate to say goodbye, so...until next time.
On the way home we went another route so that we could stop by Fred and Robin's place in Eastern Washington in a little wheat farming town called Colfax. They've been there over a year now as Fred started work at a hospital in the town. It was fun to see life in a small town and to get a little extra time with the Garnica's.
On our way from Colfax to Idaho, we saw "Nora Street" and had to take a picture for our Nora.
On the way to and from UT to WA, as always, we stopped and stayed with Becca and Blake in Idaho, and we're always grateful to them for their kindness and hospitality. We sure love being with family.
