{GREATS}

One of my favorite things about going out to Utah is being able to visit Nate's and my Grandparents.  I love the excitement that Brynlee has about going to see her Great Grandma's and Grandpa's now that she is at the age to be able to remember them better.  Brynlee and Gracen were able to see 3 Great grandmas and 3 Great grandpas!

 It is such a blessing to have them in our lives!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Fackrell's house was the first one we went to.  Brynlee and Gracen went outside and found walnuts and acorns with Grandpa Thompson while we were there.  They also got to see some deer that had wandered onto Great Grandma and Grandpas property!

Next we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's house.  They have a lot of old toys for the kids to play with and Brynlee always remembers the toy kitchen that is down in the basement.  She is always excited to go play with it.  Gracen found this little pull horse and loved it.  They don't make toys quite the same anymore, and the kids always seem to love the old ones they find at Great Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Brynlee felt the need to be a little silly and ran outside to smash her face into the window.

Goodbye kisses from Gracen!  He loved seeing his GREATS!

My Grandma and Grandpa live down in Arizona.  We were able to see them the 2nd week we were out there and so any of the pictures I may have taken are lost on that SD card.  It was fun to see them!  I love being able to spend time with my Grandma and Grandpa!  They were visiting my aunt and uncle up in Preston Idaho so the kids and I drove up and visited with them for a few hours.  Grandma took the kids and me on a walk down and around the farm.  Brynlee and Gracen got to see some cows, a duck and a dog.  Being out on the farm like that reminded me a lot of my childhood when we would go to my Great Grandpa's farm and visit.  I loved being there, and there was always something fun to discover!

I am so happy that we were able to spend time with our Grandparents and feel very blessed that my children are able to make fun memories with their Greats!  We love them all!
