Revolving Door

We are SOOOOOOOO lucky to have such a wonderful and loving family.  We had so many visitors this summer due to a wonderful lady and her choice to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Starting on July 19th we had our first visitors arrive.  Over the next 27 days we had various people coming and going.  Our wonderful visitors were Aunt Katie, Uncle Kalani, Grandpa Gene, Grandma Tammy, Aunt Jessica, Grandma Nona, Aunt Barbie and Uncle Colby.  Here is a little bit of what we did while they were here.

New 20-gallon fish tank.

Katie, Nate and Kalani headed out to the blueberry patch.

Lots of playing in the sand and holes dug.
