Fun with Tim and Brandi

We had a great weekend with some of the grandkids. We kept Elsa for Time and Brandi so that they could go to see "Sunset Boulevard" in Salt Lake on Thursday night. On friday Ashley took off for Moab for a race and Scott was already in New Mexico playing in some golf tourneys so we kept Byerly, Lily and Ivy all weekend. After work on Friday we took all of the collection of kids up to Tim and Brandi's house for the weekend. We did need to returen Elsie to her parents after all. It was the perfect weekend to have the kids there since there was a parade in the morning. In small town USA all you have to do is walk around the corner and plop down on the grass to watch the parade. There were plenty of floats, cars and trucks in the parade throwing out candy, so the kids were having a great time. Elsa figured out pretty quickly that if you run out into the road trucks will throw candy to you!

In the afternoon I took the kids to the zoo and as it turns out they had all kinds of booths set up for kids. The activities were really fun and the kids had a blast.

Meanwhile, Joel and Tim were home all day doing house projects and having a great time working together. They installed a new water heater and framed in the storage room and one bedroom. They also got shelves built in the storage room. They both love projects! All together it was a fun and relaxing weekend.
