The Utah mountains had just received a fresh layer of snow, just for us Minnesotans, since we have not had much snow for several winters. And we were not that much below the snow line, but it was at times hot and steamy
.
We had lunch at the Golden Corral and just happened to pick a table next to the desserts, especially the ice cream machine. Ellie had difficulty eating her lunch. She said, "With that ice cream machine being so close, I can't stop thinking about it." So we eventually gave in and she had a cone and a bowl. She regained her appetite. It's a miracle.
One of the rare moments he did not have his pacifier.
I also had a birthday while visiting Kyle and Tiffany and fam, but I did not want to make any big deal about it. You know, it is just another day anyway. So this was my birthday cake.
Again, I had to wear the birthday hat. Hey, wait a minute! Why didn't Charlie have to wear it and I did?
Since Tiffany is the proud owner of a Vegemite juicer machine (or what ever you call it), she made leftover chocolate cake smoothies for everyone. Mmm, Mmm Good. Oops, I spilled.
Not to worry. I can handle this.
Slurp slurp. Almost done.
See what a good smoothie slurper-upper I am. Cheese.
Hi Grampa! It is so funny at times because Charlie would crawl over to you, climb up your pant leg, look up with a sad puppy dog look and you knew what he wanted. Translate: pick me up before I scream.
We played outside on the patio and drew chalk drawings all over the fence. We do this each time we visit. Charlie likes the fresh air.
One morning was movie morning. Ellie watched a movie on Gramma's computer with headphones. It was " Happily Never After". But it was kind of scary so she wanted the earphones off so we could hear the scary parts. Erik watched "The Incredibles" on a portable DVD player
Ellie felt like a big girl.
Group photo before we left. See you next time on Skype.
