Granny Day Camp

We drove to Idaho Thursday evening. Our home in Idaho Falls is still vacant, awaiting renters. We felt that we had done everything we could to get the house ready on the inside but we were very concerned about the yard and came to the conclusion that in order to get renters, we needed to spend some time overhauling the yard. So, although gardening is not the way we wanted to spend the weekend, that is what we did. (I nearly cried when I saw how overgrown, dry, and ugly my once beautiful yard was when we pulled up Friday morning. I was smiling by the time we left Saturday evening though. Lots of hard work and many hours transformed it once again.)

Lucky for us, Granny Jane didn't have to work Friday so she offered to keep the boys at her house. They had a great time. She prepared many activities and kept them busy all day! They had a treasure hunt, went on a nature walk, had ice cream cones at Rupe's and got to play an arcade game, and made a cute kitchen craft. We wouldn't have been able to accomplish as much in Idaho Falls if we would have been worried about the boys. Thanks Granny (and Grandpa) for the entertainment!

What in the heck does that stupid house of yours look like. you can't tell us it was going to make the rough and tough Natalie Styer cry and then not show us an before and after pictures. You are just teasing us like you did back in the day.
