Thatcher

We went to thatcher for the weekend on the 18th.  it was jack's very first visit there, and wouldn't you know, i forgot my camera.  we were like halfway there when we remembered.  so i only got a couple pics from Shanna's cam.  The kids had fun playing with Spencer.  they went back to see the new colt about fifty times.  so did i.  
we also went to the pioneer day parade.  the girls really like seeing the floats.  we ended up going back to grams house before the fireworks started though cause it was raining.  so we just watched them from there.  
i took the girls up to the cemetery to show them where grandpa is buried.  they wanted to put flowers at his grave.  Anny didn't want to stay very long because she thought it was scary.  it was funny cause this cemetery doesn't look a thing like the ones portrayed on movies and TV with all the fog and creepy noises.  so i don't know why she was scared.  she said she didn't want to go back ever again.
when we were ready to leave Ellie couldn't stop crying.  she said she was going to miss grandma.  they say i used to do that too when i would leave thatcher as a girl.  poor thing, she didn't stop till about 20 min down the road.  its something i would have expected from Anny, but not from Ellie. 

I'm going to use this one for my next Christmas card.
"as sisters in Zion..."  just kidding!
Anny and grandma

The girls waiting for the next float to come.
