Cindi, Jayden, Julie, Halle,Parker and Mary Braun, Tillie & Finch came for a visit

Cindi and Jayden came for a few days.
We didn't think we would get to see Jayden this year because of our mission, but Cindi surprised us by bringing him with her.


He played the piano for us.

A game of hid and seek in the bushes. Can you see the top of his head?

Mary and her children came (Mary and Cindi were roommates in college).
We loved getting to know her sweet kiddos.

Jayden loves working with Grandpa in the garden


He chopped down some weeds.

Rexburg got a new pool this summer. It is so awesome for younger children.
Jayden, Tillie and Finch loved it.

Jayden went down the slide

They had a fun time with Cindi

Sliding together

Fun

They loved the shallow water
Getting ready to go in the lazy river

The inner tubes were large

Finch loved it too

The lazy river is about 3 feet deep

Jayden could stand up in it
Last year Jayden didn't like the water very much but loved it this year.

He would even put his head under water

Going down the stairs back in the shallow part

For being only two, Finch loved everything

Jumping off the side to Cindi in the deep pool

Whee

More jumping

Floating on his back

Thinking about kicking off the side of the pool

Getting warm for a minute.

Playing games on the Game Cube

A friendly game of croquet

Finch loved being outside with the older kids.

Why go on the walkway when you can climb over

Made it!!

Cindi and Mary
They loved for Cindi to swing them and they land on their feet.

I could not get the boys in the air.

They had a fun day!!

 Jim (Lorraine's husband), Lorraine, Glenn and Larry
 On our way home we went by Glacier National Park
 In front of the Glacier Inn.
A couple offered to take our picture, he had worked at the Inn 40 years ago as a grounds worker.
 We took the Highway to the Sun, it was narrow, straight up and of course road work too but it was beautiful!


 We found we really like the KOA camp grounds. We really enjoyed having our trailer but was an expensive trip with gas prices so high and the Durango didn't get good mileage pulling a trailer. But all in all a fun trip.
The house Glenn grew up in. Meet the family that just bought the house and are fixing it up. The last owner sure let it get in bad shape. Glad a nice family lives there.
