WOW!! What a Fun Weekend

We had the most fun weekend. Dad was home--he flew in late Thurs. night. Cheryl, Jason, and Ben came down late on Friday night to spend Conference weekend with us. It was homecoming week in Evanston so Nate had lots of activities planned and then Saturday about noon, Chelley and Jon came up to visit.

(Here's Nate on the fire engine in the Homecoming Parade)

It was a bit stormy on Saturday, so Dad did't get as much done on the shed as he had wanted, but Jason did help him get it closed in for the winter. After eating stuffed shells for lunch, Jason set up his new toy for everyone to enjoy. (He went shopping at the local Walmart and found a "Wii".) Everyone had a great time taking turns playing. It was fun to watch.

Jason and Dad put in my new gas heater, too. It is much like the one we had in the basement in New Park. It keeps the kitchen toasty warm.

We had apple crisp and cream puffs to munch on throughout the afternoon and evening, too.

After priesthood meeting, (Jason, Dad, and Nate went together), Nate headed off to the Homecoming Dance. He didn't have a date, but had a good time anyway.

Ben was a lot of fun getting into everything. He really got upset when grandma tied up the hutch doors so he couldn't get in, but found lots of other stuff to play with.


Cheryl and Jason headed home Sunday about noon and Dad's flight was out at 5:30.

Boy, is it ever quiet around here today. TOO QUIET!

I wish Jason would have forgotten the wii!! That was lots of fun! I attempted to make apple crisp with the apples you gave us, but Jon said it wasn't as yummy as yours =( guess I'll have to steal your recipe next time!
