Today we walked to church, which was only a couple of blocks from our cousins' house. Church started at 11 am, so when we got home, it was lunch time! After napping, playing games and talking with cousins, and making a cake, we enjoyed a scrumptious "breakfast" dinner on Nicholas' Birthday. Nicholas received books to read for some of the trip. We spent the rest of the night reminiscing about Brian and Darin's childhood.

Day 4: Nicholas' Bday
Today we walked to church, which was only a couple of blocks from our cousins' house. Church started at 11 am, so when we got home, it was lunch time! After napping, playing games and talking with cousins, and making a cake, we enjoyed a scrumptious "breakfast" dinner on Nicholas' Birthday. Nicholas received books to read for some of the trip.

ReplyDeleteWe haven't had Internet access consistently, so when I posted the last few entries, that was while Brian and a child were asking about closures of the 14 at the visitor center in Greybull, ?? and I opened my laptop and discovered I had Internet access on the street corner in Greybull. So, when Brian came back I quickly scrambled to post the last of whatever I was on...and now we are in Nauvoo....just finished the pageant and decided to try to finish up some entries and low and behold....my computer asked me if I wanted to join someone's Internet access. That in a nutshell is how life has been for the past few days. AND I WILL post his picture tonight, unless someone disconnects my free wi-fi. So, that is why I haven't posted his pic, but I will give him his limelight soon.
