We have had a week of visiting and catching up with our children and grandchildren who live in Utah and Arizona.  It has definitely been a fun filled week!!  No lack of activity.  We have loved every minute.  Some random shots of this activity:

When we arrived in Salt Lake City on Monday, June 2nd we had lunch with our dear friends, Lu and Steve Duke.  How wonderful to spend quality time with them!!

We took the opportunity of visiting our old neighborhood on 'C' Street (in the 'Avenues' of SL) where Wayne did his Internship at LDS Hospital.  How fun to visit here again after 43 years.

The house on 'C' Street where we lived was still there!!!  We had our family Christmas card foto taken on these very steps back in 1971!

A little 'grandpa time' with Ollie while we were at Kevin and Lauren's home.

I think Claire was excited to see me!

It may have taken Wayne and I a L-O-N-G time to hike to the 'Y' but WE MADE IT!!!

The gang after we made it to the top of 'Y' Mountain......David and Becky's family along with Kevin and Lauren's family with Wayne and I.  Andy and Geralyn's family had mutual events they had to attend to and couldn't make it.

Becky did a little 'signing' while here in town!  Fun to go with her and watch her 'in action'!

The girls had a little birthday shopping at Charming Charlie's in South Jordan.  We all came away with a little bag of goodies!!!

An appearance at Persnickety Prints for Becky.  Fun times meeting some of her fans!

A little group shot after the 'Persnickety' event.

I needed a little yarn for a pet blanket Claire wanted me to make for Oreo.  Just can't keep my fingers still.

I even made a little blankie for Gracie (Julie's dog).

Nothing says it better than a BYU CHOCOLATE MINT BROWNIE and milk!  Oh my heavens....can't it get any better than this!!

Somehow we ended up with a screw in the tire of our rental car.  Don't know how or when but we had to get it removed.

Oreo's blankie all D.O.N.E.!

A nice mural in the BYU Wilkinson Student Center.

We had a little guided tour of the BYU Campus....fun to be carted around and see everything again.

The new PROVO CITY CENTER TEMPLE is coming along nicely.  

 A little family time with Mel and Denise at Kevin and Lauren's home on Lauren's birthday.

Claire and I with Oreo's blanket.

Lighting the candles on Lauren's birthday cake....Wayne and Ele.

Delicious dinner at Kevin and Lauren's......pulled pork!  Lauren is a great cook.

A little sister/brother bonding time.....love it!

And then there is cousin i-device bonding time.  What have we done to our grandchildren!!!

I crocheted an i-device cover to Seth and Ethan's iPhones and Claire's iPad mini.  Glad I can make these things for the grandkids.....

We still have a day and a half before entering the MTC and more family time coming up!  Stay tuned......
