Our Favorite Company

Right after the Alaska trip, Papa and Grandma Beutler came for a visit (7/25-7/26). It was so good to see them. They brought us treasures as usual, including a rototiller and about 7 boxes of canning jars....both of which brought images of work to my mind! I appreciate their constant thoughtfulness and look forward to the "work" as well.

Papa and Corban decided to take a little nap together in the yard. They sang themselves to sleep...

Mike cooked up some of the fish he caught while in Alaska and Grandma Beutler made us her delicious "Apple Betty" dessert. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm GOOD!!!

We LOVE Papa and Grandma and love having them come!

Cari with Papa and Grandma:

Two weeks later, Grandma and Grandpa Ferrin came for a visit (8/8-8/10). We loved being with them too.

We played pickleball with Grandma at our city's BRAND NEW PICKLEBALL COURTS...

It was a fun way to get some good exercise! We're going to have to play this game more often.

On Tuesday we went to Zion National Park. We rode the shuttle bus through the park, stopping to have a picnic lunch. It was a beautiful day.

  That night we met Mike at Golden Corral for dinner (He had to work earlier in the day.). Then, some of us played pickleball again. We had a great time together. It was so good to have Grandpa and Grandma Ferrin visit just before our summer vacation from school ended. My mom cleaned my house the next morning before leaving. It was great! THANK YOU MOM!!! We love you Grandma and Grandpa Ferrin!
