More From Megan's Visit

We loved having Megan here with us!  We did plenty of homework and meal prep and other at-home things, and Megan was a great help with the kids and they loved being with her!  (With the exception of Luke, who was distrustful of Megan if he had any suspicion that I was going to be leaving the premises.)  She and I did some shopping and watched some movies (including Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - a must for sister time).  Megan also treated the kids to special beverages at a soda bar near our house and tagged along for things like a local ballet company's performance at the library.

Jack enjoyed the ballet for about two minutes.
All of the other kids, even Luke, were completely enthralled the whole time.

Pointe shoes!
 

Refreshments at a local bakery after seeing the ballet.

We were even naughty one morning and took the kids to school an hour late so that we could all go out for a special breakfast at a bakery in Provo.  Did you know that being naughty can sometimes be delicious?  Don't tell anyone I said that.

Megan and I also took off for the weekend to spend time with Oma and Opa in St. George.  This is the only picture I have to share from our trip: when O&O took us out to dinner at the legendary Chuck-a-Rama buffet.  It did not disappoint.  Even after waiting in line for 30 minutes just to get to the cashier.

O&O said this was their first selfie.  Do you believe it??

While in St. George we visited our favorite jewelry store and took a drive through Santa Clara and the mountains, stopping for a tour of the Jacob Hamblin home.  We went to church at O&O's ward and we did lots and lots of catching up and storytelling.  (I'll share some of Opa's stories in upcoming TBTs.)  It was a great trip and I really loved getting to have that one-on-one time with Megan in the car, and adult time with Oma and Opa without the chaos of kids in tow.

Megan, if you're reading this, thank you for coming, and you're welcome back any time!
