After five of the longest months of my life, we were finally able to go to Las Vegas to see the Wilkins family. Gracie texted a month before, asking if we could attend her dance recital. Perfect! We loaded up and only ended up leaving 30 minutes later than we planned...a small miracle! We had a tetherball pole that Papa had found tossed out in someone's yard during quarterly bulk trash pickup, a post hole digger to place the tetherball, ice chest, bedding, suitcases...all for a few days of love and fun.
Papa and Mike got the tetherball pole sleeve dug and cemented. -

| Grace showing Papa she is all ready for her recital. |
 |
| She LOVED her make up! |
 |
| Josh was all prepared with a bag of legos and trucks to play with. |
 |
| While Grace prepared, and Mommy and Daddy saved seats, and Papa went for flowers, Adam, Josh and Grammy hit the playground. |
 |
| Papa did his best to get these! |
 |
| Flowers from Daddy and Mommy |
 |
| Flowers from Papa and Grammy |
 |
| While Grace had a little awards ceremony, the boys and Grammy returned to the playground. |
 |
| Grace's friends all receive awards. |
 |
| Grace had to have some playground fun, too. |
Papa and Grace spent a lot of time with her easel. Papa taught her place value and she did very well.
The next morning, we headed off to the Wetlands Park
 |
| Adam was documenting evidence of a beaver. |
 |
| Joshy found an ant buddy. |
 |
| They had THIS in the Wetlands Park Visitors Center. Ugh! |
On Saturday night, since it was Mommy and Daddy's 12th wedding anniversary, Daddy and Mommy went to the temple and then dinner, and we had pizza and movie night at home.
Papa also finished the tetherball!
Sunday was time to work on the computers, and get ready for church. We left after Sacrament Meeting, so as to get home before dark.
We had an awesome weekend and were so thankful they invited us!!!
