Say Cheese!

It was a joy to be able to spend more time with our grandkids this week. While Joseph went back to DC, worked, and flew back here on Saturday, Tracy and the kids spent the week here. They stayed at Ben and Shannon's during the week, but came up and stayed here after Joseph got here. I went down to Stevens Point everyday, though, and we did something fun.

This awesome park is in Steven's Point. We visited just before Janet flew back to Provo.

We ate ice cream at Briq's and strolled around the square to see Chalkfest.

We went to the Splashpad at Marathon Park. The girls rode the train and played in the water. I think they really liked it. Macey LOVED it! She was amazing. She took right off and played in all the water spouts, followed the big kids around, and when she got sprayed in the face, it didn't even phase her.

We also went to the Children's Museum in Stevens Point. I think the girls had fun. We all forgot our camera, though, so no pictures.

Afton is quite adept at figuring out mechanical and electronic things. She totally cracked us up the whole time with cameras. She gets one, turns it on, points, says "Say Cheese!" and takes a picture. The funny part is that she always points it at herself, thinking she's taking a picture of you. We have demonstrated how it use it correctly, and helped her do it right, but she refuses to believe us. When I downloaded these pictures, there were 58 pictures similar to the one above. I think the girl has a future as a photojournalist!

Thanks, Joanna and Sarah, for getting married so close together! It gives us a great chance to be together and to spend precious time with our family.
