Bryan lined up Luke's first lawn-mowing job and it lasted all Summer. Bryan was good to help Luke execute the details of this job. I was grateful for a husband that wants to instill the value of hard work in our kids and Luke for sticking with it! In fact, it's now a year-round business for Luke as he is shoveling her driveway and sidewalks with each snowstorm.
We drove up to Boise to spend time with our Nielson family! We had a great time being with aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course, Grandma and Grandpa! Swimming at the neighbor's is always a fun time-especially when cousins are involved!
We spent the rest of our time in Utah by attending Bryan's grandma's funeral. It was a small, but lovely tribute to her. My parents watched our kiddos so we could go and visit as long as we liked. We appreciated that time together and with Bryan's side of the family. I don't think the kids missed us too much. The following day, we took Tom up on his offer to borrow his jeep. We went for an evening ride above Mantua on our way to Camp Mantua. The mountains were showing off that night and it was gorgeous. I thought my mountain loving man might just tear up on me. We love Colorado, but the access of the Wasatch Front mountains cannot be beat.
We also completed our stay with a few visits to Peach City. I almost didn't believe a friend when she told me that it wasn't the same place we were use to growing up. She was right. It was much improved. The shakes were delicious!
Bryan went golfing with his brothers and dad in the morning. While he was golfing, I took the kids on a hike to a waterfall (that I can't remember the name of anymore). The hike was pretty short and sweet especially when this beautiful waterfall was our reward!
Our last stop of the day was a BBQ at Rick's house with the Nielson family. I failed to get any pictures of the adults!
We were able to come to Utah for Grandma Spainhower's funeral. We stayed with my parents and enjoyed visiting family, especially during these strange times of the pandemic!
