Two weeks at Grandma’s house

After the McKay family reunion, the kids went down to Orem with Grandma/pa Anderson and spent two weeks at their house—without parents. I only know a fraction of what went on there, so here is what I’ve been made privy to:

7/6/15 – Day 1 at Grandma and Grandpa’s house

This girl has never met a life-form she wouldn’t touch, I don’t doubt her for a minute when she says that she is going to be a veterinarian. Both kids said they touched a ball python too.

7/12/15 Carter’s birthday

Aunt Sara and her family stayed at Grandma’s house for a few days, including Carter’s birthday. I believe this was the first family birthday party that either of my kids has ever had on their actual birth day. Daddy and I tried to participate via Skype, but it was difficult.

7/15/15 Camping in the Uintah Mountains

Grandma/pa loaded up their camp trailer and took the kids up into the mountains for a few nights of camping. They said it was cold, but they had fun.

Grandma/pa Dewey flew the kids home to Texas on Monday, July 20. We couldn’t wait for them to get back!
