Today we got to have the kids cousins come over to grandmas to play. After lunch we played tag tail zoo chase. It was so nice to be able to play outside during the day without instantly suffocating! Oh Utah summers are wonderful. We then made puppets and the kids put on a little puppet show for me. It was quite comical. My kids are loving being able to go barefoot in the soft green grass as opposed to getting poked and burned by the grass back home. We sure miss being able to do play-dates with cousins, so we truly love this time being around them. It is, however, really hard to be away from Daniel. The kids talked to him tonight at bedtime and loved telling him all of their adventures, and as soon as they said goodbye they told me they wanted to give Daddy a hug. Toast is used to having some body-slamming/wrestling time with daddy before bedtime, so he has been trying to compensate by subbing in Grandpa and Uncle Johnny. However, no one can give "hot-foots" quite as good as Daddy.-SO even though we love being in nicer weather and love being around family, we really really really miss our Daniel!

I'm glad you are having a good time! (While we are suffocating.)
When will you be home?
The puppet show looks so cute! I'm envious of the soft grass thing! Even when our grass is green and okay to walk on, it's never "soft."
Brian and I had to be away from each other for a long time like that, but it was before we had kids. I think that would make it harder.
I didn't know you guys were going to Utah. How long will you be visiting there? My kids looove getting to see their cousins in Nevada.
Every summer I do the same thing you are doing. Its so fun to be with family and away from the heat but I miss my husband so much! I guess its good when we get back together we really appreciate each other even more.
