Fall Vacation Visit


Dad, Mom, Heather, and the kids went on a fall vacation this month and stopped at our house as part of their trip. They arrived Saturday evening in time for a late dinner. This next morning, Mom, Micah, and I were on the breakfast crew and made pancakes, sausage, and blackberry syrup.

Dad and Mom got a new van right before the trip, so we all got to ride in it. It was Mary's first time in any of Grandpa's big vans.

We had a fun trip to pick out fabric while the rest of the family went to Goodwill and found some deals.

We enjoyed time outside in the warm afternoon, and even did some yard work which was helpful.

There was lots of game playing.


Joshua and Natalie grilled pork chops for dinner Sunday night; it might have been the best batch yet.


Mary got lots of attention.

After Joshua went to school on Monday, the rest of us walked to the Mongolian Grill for lunch.


We took a trip to the Smith Family Bookstore downtown; Joshua met us there, and we all came home together.

Monday night we had fun all playing a game together and eating chocolate, chocolate chip cookies.

This was followed by some late-night weight lifting where Evan impressed us all.


We had to say goodbye to the family Tuesday morning, but it was a great visit. Mary took a long nap that afternoon; all the excitement must have worn her out.
