We had so much fun visiting Mom and Dad on their mission. Jennilyn and Cooper were there too.
Chase was so excited when we finally got to pick up Jennilyn and Cooper from the airport. Then we drove a couple hours to get to Mom and Dads.
When we were packing, Evie wanted to bring this jean skirt and a white shirt for "missionarying with Grandma". I laughed so hard because I couldn't believe she thought these would be good missionary clothes! Maybe that is just an internal thing to think these are the clothes you need for missionarying. Anyway as soon as we got to Moms she wanted to put these clothes on and be just like Grandma. Grandma wasn't wearing a jean skirt but she did have on a long skirt and white shirt and Evie wanted to be just like her. Evie really wanted to do missionary work and would ask each day what missionary work we were going to do.
Jake got to go with Dad on an appointment. Then one day Jake and Chase went with Mom and Dad to district meeting.
This is right before we were leaving. Dad is trying not to cry- actually he was really happy it is just the best picture I have.
On this trip I realized that our kids are getting older and they were actually pretty entertaining sometimes. It is getting much easier to take them all places. I am not saying easy, but easier. One of the things I will remember is how much fun Jake and Chase had with Cooper. They really had fun playing with him and getting him excited. Here is a picture when I was waiting in line to check us in at the airport and the kids were sitting here waiting. This is something I never thought I would see even just a year ago, all of them except Nielie sitting there just waiting!
It was such a wonderful time visiting Mom and Dad and meeting their friends back there. I also loved being around them and Jennilyn and Cooper. I am so glad we were able to go. It is so pretty and was so interesting to experience another part of the US.

What a fun experience! Your last picture gives me hope. We just flew to Florida and got stuck in the Cleveland airport for 10 hours. Talk about stir crazy kids. We ran out of diapers and milk. What a trip!
looks like you guys had a great time...boy oh boy do we miss your parents around here! and it's been weird not having you guys visit this summer. Hopefully next year you can make up for it and stay a month or so :)
