It is always more fun with the party dad around. So, when Sean flew in to visit, we were all very happy. First stop was the Saturday morning farmers market, where we shared our favorite street pirogues with him.
Syliva was excited to find lots of strawberries in Grandpa's berry patch.
She was very proud that her basket got more than mine. (Although I think Grandpa helped her fill it!)
Grandma Liz is becoming famous for her superb waffles. Tasty, and speedy. Three cheers for her new waffle maker: "Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah!"
We have had some afternoon fun hanging out at the LDS institute. It is tough to believe I graduated from there almost 20 years ago. Asher's tennis playing skills seem to translate over to the ping-pong table. He was fierce.
I had a good time playing a fierce game of pool with Sean. He claims her became a pool shark at the McMullin family reunions in Canada. Mattias was thrilled to have a piano to practice on.
We also got to watch the first time 80 mph winds came off the mountains, and tore though the neighborhood. It knocked down a section of Brad's fence, and one of his apricot trees in the back yard. Luckily they had the McMullin branch clean-up crew from Wisconsin to help clean the yard.

The up side of the storm was that the power went out, and it was kind of dark and chilly. Mattias lit a fire in the fireplace and made us hot chocolate, while we played cards. It was cozy.
Another day found us again in the Rattlesnake. Sylvia seems to think everything is funny.
The best part of this Rattlesnake outing was the swarm of butterflies by the creek. Syliva loved trying to catch one on her finger. They seemed to like Sean's blue pants best.

Wow, hadn't seen this one. Some great pictures, I love the one of Sylvia in the river. That one at the end with the butterfly was great too, can't believe you actually caught one of those!
