It was nice when the grandchildren were able to get out in nature. Hiking seemed to be an enjoyable activity for everyone. What child doesn't like to climb up a steep incline? Makes me glad I sat this one out!
Rebecca's and Sarah's families were excited about the plan to go to Bear Lake a second time--this time to include Jacob's family. The little ones enjoy the sand and the water so much. The adults were enjoying the water as well.
Work before play this particular day. Our children have been taking turns mowing the lawn since Glen has been laid up following foot surgery and can't do it himself. It has usually been Dallas and Ben alternating turns.
Sarah got a turn in when she was here earlier in the month. This time Jacob insisted he take a turn. Lincoln was very insistent he also help with the mowing and the dumping. Pretty soon Jonah joined in with the yard work.
Looks like Kade is a little lawn mower in training. 
Laurie always wants to have Mandarin food when she comes to town. Their family also wanted Cafe Rio, Costa Vida, Chick-fil-A, In-n-Out, etc. All the restaurants they don't have in Omaha. It was a take-out week for us.
When Sarah was here before, she did the meal planning and meal preparing. This time I wanted Sarah (and me) to have the week off from cooking, so we happily got take-out for many dinners which pleased everyone.
The family took an evening hike to Alta's Cecret Lake. There were wildflowers everywhere making for some beautiful scenery and photos.
The day they went geode hunting in Dugway driving for a couple of hours and then for an hour on a dirt road made me really nervous. Besides being extremely hot and Sarah nearly running out of gas, it sounded like they had a fun adventure.
