I am definitely not a very good blogger. Writing every 3 months or so does not add up to a very good running commentary on my life! On second thought, maybe it does! Our car trip to Utah (end of July and first of August) to visit Marlene was a fun one and we all survived the car experience very well. We drove up in Carolyn's van with every seat filled: Carolyn and her 3 kids (all in car seats), Susannah, Travis and I. We made the trip in two segments so that each day was only about 5-6 hours in the car. The little girls were such troopers and rode the whole way without hardly making a sound. Although the DVD players may have had something to do with that! It was fun to have all 6 of the grandkids together. They got along fairly well, but I could tell that sometimes they were self-conscious because they weren't used to being around each other. We spent a couple days at the Willis cabin and went row-boating on the resevoir. We went to the park one night, and then spent an afternoon at "yarn-ball Grandma's" (Travis's mom and dad's place) She is referred to as "yarn ball Grandma" because she lets the kids get out the yarn balls and play with them...they had them all over the house and made major spider webs, and that is how they remember her. All in all it was a wonderful trip! Anytime we can get together with my kids and grandkids...it is a cherished time for me. They mean the world to me and I am so pleased with my children and the decisions they have made and the way they are living their lives. And, of course, I have the most beautiful grandkids in the world!
