Glen was able to take a day off to spend with Rebecca's family. We went to the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park.
There were lots of things for the grandchildren to use to creatively construct things.
When I saw this hand sculpture, I thought of Sarah and the hand she crafted out of clay in one of her art classes in high school.
Brooke did exactly what the instructions told her to do.
Her boat scene was displayed in the glass case.
We stayed until closing time. When Glen spotted a worker dumping out buckets full of popcorn into the trash can, he asked if we could have a bucket. She handed one to him. We took the free popcorn outside to enjoy eating it by the fountain.
We walked around Balboa Park.
For some reason, every time I saw Caroline that day, I just wanted to say, "Hi!"
The next day while the Goldens played, we took yet another group of missionaries to eat lunch at Tequila Factory before going on a tour at the Mormon Battalion.
One of our sisters saw a childhood friend who is serving at the Mormon Battalion. That was a fun surprise for both of them.
A sister volunteered to be the soldier this time during the tour.
The Hemingways were there in costume this time. He is the director of the historic site and they always join us after the tour to spend a few minutes talking to our missionaries.
That evening we got the chance to play Qwirkle. Hurrah!! Kathryn had been anxious to learn how to play the game. She was a quick Qwirkle learner and succeeded in getting the highest score. Good for her!!
The next day we had new leadership training meeting. I think Rebecca's family went to the beach once again.
After that meeting. I went to pick up Chick-fil-A so we could meet with our two new assistants and get them up to speed on what their new responsibilities will entail.
That evening we fed the grandchildren pizza and left them watching a movie under Brooke's care for a short time while we adults went to Benihana for dinner.
Brooke had us laughing so hard one day during our Jenga game.
She gave herself an extra challenge by pulling out one of the blocks by only using her toes and positioned it safely atop the wooden tower without making it fall. BRAVO!!
The Golden family's vacation week had come to an end. Glen made his famous French toast for them one last time. And then they were on their way back home to Utah.
Later in the day when I requested a report of how they were doing, Rebecca sent me this photo. OH NO....!!!!! Car troubles!! How awful!! I was feeling so sorry for them and then...
...I received this photo of a devilish grin on Dallas's face. He had thought it would be funny to pull a prank on his worrywart mother-in-law.
Haha!! Still laughing!!
NOT!!!!
It was very good news when we learned they had made it home safely. Whew!! We were so glad they had come to visit. And it seemed like Kathryn had had a nice vacation as well.

It was a great vacation! We're sad it had to come to an end. Now I get to live vicariously through Sarah and Abe.
