UTAH TRIP, forever ago, ugh!! Grace and I traveled to Utah a few months ago to see the family. We had fun!Grace got sick for like three days so it slowed our travels a bit but as soon as she recovered it was crunch time. This trip was the first trip where all of the Hymas grand kids were in town all at once. Grace got to spend her b-day in Utah and even celebrate with her birthday bud and cousin Mason!!! We tried to take a big group photo but the kids had another agenda! It was pretty comical.
The highlight of the trip was going to Grandma Betty and Aunt Jan's house!! Those two women are always happy to see visitors and take the time to just sit and catch up with you. I have the best conversations with her and just feel so at ease when I am around her. That is what Grandma's are about in my book. We planted flowers, and played in the back yard mostly. Aunt Jan gave Grace a ride in the wheelbarrow, which by the way Grace now wants one for Christmas. I tried to explain to her that wheelbarrows aren't just for riding in and then quickly asked myself "but why not?" I decided wheelbarrow's should be for riding not working. Grandma betty sent Grace home with a grocery sack full of goodies stemming from dolls, to a "twirly baton" and a watering can for flowers. I just love those two women, they are so incredibly sincere and loving!!
Grace and I also got to go see Kung Fu Panda with one of my oldest and closest friends Tricia and her little man. I have known Tricia since I was 15, it is always so much fun to be around people who really know who you are!! Tricia is really the only person I have kept up with from High School so I love our roots!!
When we got home the birthday fairy had visited Gracie here, she left her a bike. A good friend of mine told me about the birthday fairy and we decided she needed to visit our house as well. Grace had a hard time figuring out the peddle situation on the bike so Russ asked me to demonstrate ... silly me trusted him, what he really needed was a good laugh.
We had fun in Utah, thanks again to G-Ma Betty for taking the time to play with us! We Love you so much.
