California Crashers

My parents came out to visit last weekend. We had lots of fun with them!

Ethan was constantly asking to play with Mimi and Grandpa! If Grandpa said, "I need to go to the bathroom," Ethan would run out to find Mimi and say, "Mimi, do you want to play with me?!"

On Friday, we went to the county fair. We showed up at 12:50, 10 minutes before they started to charge admission. Unfortunately, we also had to wait until the rides opened at 3! So we wandered around looking at the livestock and various exhibits. We also had some excellent fair food! I had a yummy footlong corndog while the rest of the family turned their nose up at my purchase and decided on some BBQ pork sandwiches. They said that their sandwich was tasty but that's not an authentic fair food item! Ethan kept asking us if it was 3 o'clock yet so he could go on the rides. It finally opened and he had a blast. Later in the evening, we dropped Ethan off at the babysitting group and headed to Longhorn Steakhouse for an excellent dinner.

The rest of the weekend, we watched conference, went out to eat several times, enjoyed some delicious meals and treats from Kristen, and spent lots of time playing with Ethan and Adalyn.

Ethan opened his Christmas presents several months early! We are putting his helicopter together in this picture.

Adalyn is now crawling! She mostly goes backwards but she has started going forward a little bit over the past several days

Some tasty wood!

Ethan loved this train ride at the fair
