Cassidy and Truman's Visit Continued........

Truman loved playing in the little wading pool. But only for a short time, then he would get out and wander around, burning his feet on the hot sidewalk, and getting grass all over himself and not liking it.
Finding Nemo.
For the Keel Reunion we spent the day at Cove Fort. It was fun to see everyone, since we don't get to see them very often, and I was glad they got to see Truman too. Most of them had never met him.
After we got there, I discovered that my Uncle Donnie and his wife were serving a mission there, so that was pretty fun!
For some reason, maybe because we were so busy chasing Truman around, we didn't take very many pictures. But here's Cass and Lex..........not sure what they were trying to do.
Next it was off to Phoenix to visit the Fallstroms. Of course we stopped at our favorite In N Out Burger on the way.
It was Isaac's birthday the day we arrived, so he got to open presents as soon as we got there.
Cute little Isaac. Happy to you!
One of the things we did while visiting was go watch Isaac and Sareny at their gymnastics class. It was so fun to see them trying different things, and feeling good about themselves.
Isaac's class was a combination of gymnastics and karate so we got to see him doing both. It was super cute to see him trying to kick and do the karate moves.
Sareny really loves her gymnastics class, and is pretty good at it.
I'm sure she loved having us all there watching her!
Hillari lives in a neighborhood with the best swimming pool. We love to take the kids there, so that was one of the fun things we did.
Hillari's three kids are all like little fishes. They swim every day, and are getting pretty good at it, even Finley.
Bampa and Truman
Sareny spent quite awhile just snuggled up to me while I talked with Hill and her friend. For not being a very cuddley baby, Sareny sure likes to snuggle now.
This shows the huge bucket that periodically dumps a ton of water on you if you aren't paying attention. I personally hated when that happened. And so did Truman, so he is completely happy watching from a distance!
We had so much fun during our visit. We went to see Cars 2 on our last day there. Truman is still too young to really love movies, so he got a little naughty after awhile. But he did see enough to totally love "Light-Mean Queen" and "Mainer" as he pronouces them. We stopped at Walmart on the way home and I bought him a Lightning McQeen and Mater and they became his new favorite cars. We left to come home on Finley's birthday, so before we went to the movie she got to open her presents. She was so cute.
Bampa helping Finley color. She is the best little "color-er" there is! She will sit with paper and crayons for hours. And she's pretty good at it for her age.

Playing with Finley's Marble Works set.

Me and two of my girls. My eyes may or may not have been closed in this picture. I really can't tell, and don't care at this point. I just want to get caught up on posts by Christmas!

Cass and I had made 4th of July outfits for the kiddos, so we tried to get a cute picture of me Bampa and I with our grandkids, but it was pretty hard to get one with everyone looking at the camera.
We had such a fun time visiting with the Fallstroms. We always have fun at their house, and love to see them and the kids. Stay tuned for the final post of Cass' summer visit.........

You have some fun photos! It makes me think of how much fun we had in Phoenix. Watching the kids at their gymnastics lessons was cute. And I forgot how good Finney is at coloring! We had so much fun hanging out with the Fallstroms. I wish we saw them more often.
