We were fortunate to be able to travel to Utah last week to attend Grama Jukes' memorial service. It was a beautiful service! Of her fifteen grandchildren, thirteen were able to be there. They sang "I See the Moon" together and I'm certain Grama was smiling down. It was wonderful to see so much family in one place to honor Grama. We got a lot of work done helping to organize Grama's belongings so that her house can be put up for sale. We brought home some amazing treasures to keep her memory alive in our home. The drive was beautiful, the kids were pretty much perfect angels 12 hours both ways. The hotel was nice, Mark and I both took turns swimming with the girls (someone had to stay with Brute in the room). It was really nice to get away for a few days!
This is how you sleep when you're driving across the desert :)
We had scheduled Elise's birthday party for Saturday but had to cancel it when we found out we would be out of the state. We had an impromptu party for her and she got to play with lots of cousins. She was a happy girl! We will reschedule her party for an upcoming weekend once we know what Mark's schedule is going to look like for Amador Fire.
Out like a light every night! They played their little hearts out everyday! Maysie only slithered out of the bed a couple times each night. She doesn't even wake up, I just look down and see her on the floor. Someday I hope she'll learn how to stay in a bed!
Brute thought the hotel was ok. They didn't let him swim in the pool and he didn't have a cushy chair to sleep in next to the bed.
We saw this awesome steam engine chugging along on our way home! The conductor blew the whistle for us and everything!
