We didn't take as many pictures as we should have, but it was a good week. Kaitlyn loved showing off her dress up skills. And perhaps casting spells on people, or whatever she is doing in this picture.
In fact, that is what prompted us to make the wings and cape I mentioned in the last post.
They also loved showing Grandma and Grandpa their new swingset.
We spent most of the week just hanging out, eating my mom's favorite donuts she can only get here, and shopping at the stores she can only find here. But their favorite part of the week was heading to the cabin. Saturday morning Christopher ran the Hobble Creek half marathon, which luckily enough was the same canyon our cabin is in! So I drove him down to the start in the morning, and then went back and picked up Grandpa and Kaitlyn to come watch him run.
Kaitlyn liked hanging out on Grandpa's shoulders. She also liked pointing at every runner that wasn't wearing a shirt and saying "Look, Mommy! Naked!" quite loudly.
Good thing daddy wasn't "naked". Daddy had a great time, actually! 1:32 was his official time. He was the most excited that he got a medal. Apparently they only give medals to the first 100 men that cross the finish line- and he was the 95th PERSON. Way to go babe!
Well, back to the cabin for food and family.
My mom's three siblings all live in Utah, and were able to come down to visit her with us. They are fun.
And Christopher loves to show off on his dirt bike.
My Uncle Bob took over the four wheeler, and started running around the track with Cydney (my older cousin's daughter). They had a blast - minus the time she fell off.
He also loved taking his older sister (Aunt Betty) on a spin. She spent most of the time shrieking, but I think she liked it.
It was nice for them to have their whole family together! My grandpa is 96 years old, and has only lately started to have health problems. I was so glad he was well enough to make the trip down to see us.
