Today is July 1st and that marks Day 31 of this trip. We are in grandparent mode and taking care of four grands while their parents take a vacation and few days together. We're in Billings, MT and starting to get into the structure of littles and teens. What a combo! Oldest teen works for her uncle during the day and that leaves us with three. Today, we are attempting to water the lawn AND teach Mariel that water is not of the devil. She is truly afraid and runs from the water for quite awhile before venturing close to it but running alongside it.

Road Trip - Days 23-30 - Billings
One more week left in June and we are staying at Matt's house. However, Rhiana is throwing a birthday party for Isla today and she doesn't know we are in town yet, so Gammy and Grandpa will surprise her. When we arrive, it's GREAT! Littles are excited and my daughter is so surprised. This is so fun. Now to just play and enjoy the day.

We are halfway through June and loving the weather and time with family. This morning we went to Echo Lake Cafe for breakfast and met up with Jill and her family. The grounds around the restaurant are simply beautiful.

We are at Moms and blessed with a visit from our Niece/Nephew and grands. Yep, any form of grand works for us. We love time with them all. Here they come and I can't believe how much Avrielle has grown.

Road Trip - Days 7 & 8, Last Day in Provo and Travel to MT
It's our last day in Provo due to a booking error by me. It sucks, but every now and then I blow it. This is one of the nows. We have to check out of our little house this morning and once the work is done and the car loaded, we are off to meet Cassie and then - THE ZOO for the day. It is about a 45 minute drive, but at least the traffic isn't terrible. In we go with my reciprocal membership for the adults and Cass's coupons for the little. The first thing we see are chalk drawings happening all over the grounds.

Road Trip - Days 3 & 4 in Provo, UT
Yay for time with grands and my daughter. I treasure this each year as we get a chance to reconnect and talk while spending time with the littles. Today, I've left Mister alone at the house so he can work and am off to the library for some fun.
