It's tradition that Joan and whoever she can gather up come for their spring break every spring. She drives down from Boise, arriving on Monday afternoon, then on Wednesday, goes and gets Tom at the airport and this year, brought Devin's Sarah and her two darling daughters back with her for the rest of the week. We shopped all day on Tuesday and talked each other into buying stuff we don't need. It's tradition. On Wednesday, she came to my Keynote rehearsal with me (that also is tradition) and then we went power shopping at a cute quilt store that was madly closing out their stuff to close their doors (sad.) We grabbed a few things at 40% off. We then met Pam (yep, tradition!) for a delicious lunch at a new Italian place that Pam knew about. The chef is an ex- Princess cruise chef and the food was delicious!
On Saturday, between sessions we had a fun, but windy picnic out at one of our awesome neighborhood parks. I did terrible at getting pictures, but the kids had a great time on the unique playground toys.
During the priesthood session, we went to our beautiful city center park. We rode the carousel and played in the rocky stream water play place. The kids had so much fun.
I have two share to Eva- isms from their visit. When they first arrived, I think she was a bit scared of Ken and I. That was Thursday. On Friday, Ken was late getting home for work and we were already around the table, eating dinner. Ken came in and Eva said, "Why's that guy here again?" We all cracked up. On Saturday, when we went to park at the carousel, Joan pulled into a parking spot. From the back Eva popped up with, "This is a lovely parking spot." So cute.
By the end, both girls warmed up to Ken. On Sunday morning before they left, he was holding both of them on his lap. Thanks all for visiting! It was very fun. And thank you, Sarah for the BYU fudge. It was so yummy. If you're going to the BYU bookstore soon, people, may I suggest the Heath fudge? (Sorry, there just wasn't time to get a picture of that before it disappeared) It is so good. Happy Spring!

So fun to see pictures of the fun week I heard about! I'm glad you had such a fun visit with those wonderful people.
I love all of your happy traditions! The Italian place sounds delicious! How fun for you to be together - those little girls are so cute!
It sounds like you had a fabulous time! Can we go to the city center park and have Caleb and Lily ride the carousel when we come visit? That looks like so much fun!
Isn't that just so fun to see that comment? That we can just drive down and visit Grandma Kay and Grandpa Ken very soon?
