Visit from the Wards

We love back-to-school time around here because it means we get a visit from Kevin's parents during their trek west to drop his sisters off for school. They (his parents and sister, Staci) arrived in Pocatello on Thursday evening and stayed with us until Saturday morning. Then on Saturday we drove to Rexburg, ID to visit Staci's new apartment at BYU-Idaho. We enjoyed a nice dinner and shared a hotel room with Fred & Carolyn in Rexburg that night.

Of course, they showed up bearing gifts! They are so thoughtful that way. Owen and Wesley were showered with nice gifts, lots of love, and lots of attention! Who could ask for anything more?! We were sad to see them leave, but look forward to seeing them in December.

We went to the park on Friday afternoon and Owen couldn't get enough of playing soccer with Grandpa Ward.
