August 2016 Random

August 5 2016-Great Grandpa's Birthday

I made Grandpa pose for a picture with the kids on his Birthday!

Madi had a visit to the ENT Dr. She is still breathing loud out of her mouth. The Dr. told us that her adnoids grew back-AGAIN-and her deviated septum needs to be fixed again. We decided to wait until she is done growing before doing the surgery. Poor Madi!

 The potato pit-what's left of it:(

I spent many happy days here growing up. We would sort potatoes here every fall until the new shop was built. When we were waiting for the next truck to come in we would go run around and play. We would run up on the top, climb the mounds of potatoes, etc. One time Ruth Ann was running down the steepest part of the hill and totally face planted. I can still see it in my mind. Oh the good old days...

Hiking with Kelsi and girls-August 2016

While Kelsi was here we were also able to spend some time in Bryce. We didn't actually pay the money and drive into the park-we did all of the free stuff surrounding it. We did a hike in Red Canyon first and it was the perfect amount for the kids. They had so much fun climbing up all of the rocks and smelling the trees that smelled like butterscotch. It was just a fun day to be together.

Red Canyon

I love the hoodoos. So cool looking.

Mossy Cave Hike

We drove a little past Bryce to do the Mossy Cave Hike. It was a good one for kids too and there was a little waterfall that we got to stop and play in for a while. 

Kelsi has a friend in Kalamazoo from Tropic so we drove into town so Kelsi could say that she had been there. We ate our lunch at the park and while the kids were playing on the playground Syd had an unfortunate encounter with a bee. It stung her on the bottom lip. It immediately swelled up SO big. We loaded the kids back up in the car and stopped at Clark's to get some Benadryl. This picture was taking after it started going down. She was pretty self-conscious about it so I am surprised she let me take a picture. She kept saying, "I don't want Dalton to look at me." 

We drove back to Ruby's to let the kids look through the rock shop and get some ice cream. It was such a fun day!

Kelsi's visit-August 2016

In August Kelsi and the girls were able to come out for a visit. They had a wedding in Denver and then drove to our house for a few days. It was fun to show them around Circleville. We spent a lot of time on the golf cart, the playground, Stan's, and the dairy. Charli wasn't sure if she like the calves or not but Avery did.
