Logan, Corn, Webb's

Last Monday we headed down to Logan for part of the week. Casey was helping put on the roof at David's house. The kids and I got to spend time with Grandma and Katherine. Tuesday the kids played around and we baked cookies to do a tea party at Nana's.
Wednesday morning Katherine took Kendal to get back to school hair cuts in the morning. Kendal was hoping for maybe an inch cut from her long locks, but she ended up with four inches off. Wednesday afternoon we went out to Nana's for a tea party. Nana had her best China out and the kids were excited to get to use the little tea cups. We had a wonderful time eating finger foods and chatting. Nana complimented Peter on how well he behaved. Kendal admired Nana's China cupboard contents and shell collection. She talked up a storm and loved asking Nana about her special things. We stayed longer and the kids got out the playschool circa 1960's play set they enjoy at Nana's house. 

 Thursday we met up for lunch at David and Anica's apartment pavilion. Afterwards the kids played a bit back at my parents till it warmed up enough to go over to the splash pad in North Logan. After dinner we headed home so Casey could start work Friday morning.



It's been a fun summer being able to visit family a bit more, help David on his house, and see its progression. We wish we were closer to help some more, but we'll do what we can in coming months.

Saturday we were thinking of things to do when Mom D told us corn was ready. The kids jumped at the offer to go to Grandma and Grandpa's so away we went for the next two days. Almost everyone made it out to join in and help with corn. We made it out at lunch time and spent the rest of the day picking, husking, cooking, cooling, cutting, and bagging corn. We had all of the kids there running around, eating / amounts of corn, getting wet, and just having so much fun with each other.

We stayed the night and got to join Grandma and Grandpa for church. Peter got to go to class with Grandma and Kendal was happy in a class of all girls. After a lunch the kids played and some rested till it was time for the Webb party. Casey has many fond memories of Sunday nights at his Grandparents house with cousins as he grew up. It was fun seeing all of the cousins grown up with families of their own. The next generation running around and spending time together. Someone said they thought Grandma and Grandpa (Webb) would be smiling down from Heaven and I know it's true. I love family and I love that family is eternal!
