Grandpa and Grandma Pack!!

For the last few days we have had Grandma and Grandpa Pack visiting with us. They flew in to Las Vegas on Friday afternoon, rented a car and drove to our house in Ivins. The kids were really excited so we let them stay up late and Ethan figured out how to text and was texting Grandma every few minutes with an update on where they were. It was fun to see how excited the kids were.

On Saturday morning, Grandma and I went to the temple for an early morning session while Bryan went to EFY with our youth and Grandpa took Ethan and Courtney to breakfast. When we got home and the kids played for a while, we loaded up lunches and drove to Snow Canyon for a hike. It was pretty cold but we had a great time hiking the petrified sand dunes.

Then we loaded back in the car and came back home to warm up and take naps. When Bryan got home, he, Ethan and Grandpa went to basketball practice. Then we had dinner and played at home.

Sunday we went to Church. It was our ward conference so Bryan didn't have early meetings which was good because we stayed up way too late and all of us slept in! We spent the afternoon playing games and having fun. Then at 6 p.m. Courtney got to have Grandma and Grandpa all to herself while Ethan, Bryan and I went to a Stake Baptism Fireside. It was for all the kids in the stake turning 8 years old this year. They explained about what would happen on his baptismal day. They even let everyone walk through the font so the kids could get a feel of how it would be that day. It was great for Ethan and he has been so excited!

Bryan then ran to a youth fireside while I went home and got the kids in bed.

Monday morning Grandpa drove back to Las Vegas for meetings, Ethan went to school, Courtney went to preschool and Bryan went to work. So Grandma and I went shopping!! We picked Courtney up after preschool, went to lunch, did more shopping then went home to nap.

And today, Tuesday, we dropped Grandma off at the shuttle station so she could get back to Las Vegas and meet Grandpa for their flight home. We had fun having them here and the kids are sat to see them go, but we'll see them again in June at Ethan's baptism!!

Thanks for coming!
