Our Vacation

Well....our vacation started with a dinner and Grandma and Grandpa Z, followed by spending two nights at Grandma and Grandpa W. The 2nd day was full! We got our family picture taken and individual pictures of Jacob and Jonathan. Then, Garrett took me out shopping for clothes for Valentine's Day and the boys had fun with their grandparents, Aunt Amanda, and cousin Vincent.

This is a big hug for Grandma and all of the boys with Grandpa.

We got to eat lunch with Great Grandma and Grandpa P. They were so sweet with the boys and thanked us so many times for stopping to see them.

Then, we traveled on and stayed two nights with Uncle Carl and Aunt Carol, who were so kind to us, with fantastic breakfasts, good conversation, and pictures. I got to know them for the first time, really!
(Jacob was ready for a nap)!

We spent the days with Great-Grandpa Neilson, who fixed us a fantastic stew and sent us home with all kinds of goodies. He also spent some time with me, filling in some missing information about his mother. It was a lot of fun!

This is the boys at the park by Great-Grandpa N's house - the same one his father played at when he was a boy. Jonathan loved going down this pole.

The other boys loved the swings and anyone who saw me trying to extract Jacob from the swings probably thought I was kidnapping him the way he screamed!

I didn't take any more pictures, but we got to go to church with Aunt Jolene and Uncle Ron. Aunt Jolene taught a fantastic lesson on the spirit. We got to watch two fantastic shows - Mrs. Potter (the author of Peter Rabbit) and August Rush. We stayed two nights there. We were even treated to a visit from Cousin Julie and her husband Greg and family. It was great.

Then, we spent an evening and morning with with Grandma and Grandpa Z before traveling back home. It was a wonderful trip and it is nice to be home. Thanks to all those who helped us with places to stay and yummy food to eat!
