My Dad came out to visit for a few days after visiting my brother and his family in Utah. We were very excited to have him and loved our time with him. And although he had 1 day of not feeling the greatest it did keep him here one more day so we liked that. He arrived on Saturday and I had to work but he hung out with the kids and talked to me some. Sunday he went to church with us while Jen went to a class she was taking. We relaxed on Sunday and again on Monday. We did some shopping and just enjoyed being inside because it was soooo hot. 120 is HOT! Tuesday we went to Bass Pro Shop and REI and enjoyed a day out. Larry felt well enough to come which was even better. Dad helped us out by shaving Larry's head that morning since his hair decided to start falling out due to his chemo treatments but I think he looks good and it's fun to have him with us. Found a few things we of course want but had fun being together. We ate at Famous Dave's BBQ and loved our lunch! Relaxed that night and on Wednesday we took the little ones to see Cars 2. The opening Short of Toy Story was absolutely hilarious. Cars 2 was cute and the kids did well during the movie so it was fun. He was going to leave Thurs but ended up not feeling well Wed night so decided to stay one more day. YAY for us! Thurs we went to the pool to show him how well the kids are swimming and jumping off the diving board. Plus he got us the pass there and we wanted to show him the pool and say Thank You! We love being able to go and cool off. Maybe next summer we can get the kids signed up for swim lessons. Although it was 115-120 every day it was fun to be together. We got up early and walked and just talked. I have fond memories of going on early morning runs/walks with my dad and I'm glad those haven't disappeared. Jen and I try to go each morning and it's nice to have some time together as sisters. Love you Papa! You're the BEST! We are so glad you got to come and be with us. I'm thankful for my camera getting pics of him with the grandkids for memories. He was here for Kai's 2nd birthday and that means a lot to me. I want my kids to be close to him and to know him. He's the best ever! Love you Papa! Come back soon!
