We had a few days back at mom and dad's house. One afternoon we took a flight in Papa Jeff's plane, the Musketeer. It was a bumpy ride, but the kids didn't seem to mind at all. Both of them were asleep by the time we landed. We also got to check out a one-of-a-kind Sikorsky plane that shares a hanger with the Musketeer. It has toured the African continent and is all teak and wicker on the inside. 1930's glam anyone? So cool. The flight was great. We love seeing the valley and the mountains from the sky.
The rest of our stay was full of the usual wonderful. Grace and Thea's dog, Toby, were inseparable. Poor Toby was pretty dead tired all weekend long. The kids helped with the horses. Grant got a ride in Papa Jeff's new front loader. We got to spend some time with my Grandma Bettie. Cori and I took a cruise in my mom's mustang she is having restored. We also got to take a day-long date. We went to the Temple in the morning (the Temple where we were married) and then that night we went out to dinner and saw Avatar- in 3D. (As an aside about that movie- I can't disagree that the story line is Fern Gully meets Dances with Wolves. Nor can I argue that is isn't full of every cliche in the book. But, it was SO GREAT.)

I have loved hearing about your vacation... sounds like so much fun! And I also loved the dialog between Grace and Grant in a previous post about the Olympics. I kept thinking about that and think it's so cute.
