Texas Cousins

July 14-18, 2012

We have these wonderful cousins and sister that make such a great effort to come and visit us every year all the way from Texas.  This year we weren't sure if they would make it because Ruth is about 7 months pregnant and she had to get approval from the doctor to make the long drive.  We weren't sure if they would be able to until about a week before.  She got approval but she had to stop every couple of hours and walk.  What a sacrifice! We love having them here even if its just for a few days.

We didn't do much this time because we just wanted to kind of hang out and enjoy spending time together.
We didn't take to many pictures but these are some of the fun times.

 Presents for the Texas cousins:

The kids did make their annual movie.  It was a re-make of Spy Showdown because they just did not like the first one.  Here is the link.  We have some awesome actors in the family.

We went downtown to see City Creek and Temple Square.   We took the Frontrunner so we didn't have to try and find parking and all that.

We went up to the top of the Church Office building.  We had never been there before and this is the view from up there.

What is it about kids and water?

 We also went to the Church Museum (the children's section)

I love this picture mainly because I love it when my mom plays with the grandchildren.  She is so cute!
