Summary

Dale and I took a weekend and headed to Salt Lake.  We enjoyed hanging out with our kids.  They do know how to have fun.
The purpose of the trip was to visit KC and his girlfriend, Heather.  We had a great time and totally enjoyed having her with us.
She became like a daughter to me, at least in the mind of a very talkative quilt shop owner, but I'll take it.
This past week author, Avi, came to talk to the students in Manson.  I have read Something Upstairs by him every year during our Revolutionary unit.  I have enjoyed every book I have read written by him.
It was exciting to listen to him tell of his life and then answer endless questions from the students. 
This past weekend we went to Spokane for a sibling dinner.  I enjoyed the food and the company.
All of Dale's brothers and sisters were there with all the usual joking and teasing. 
On our way home from Spokane the next night we helped the sorely missed grandkids trunk or treat.  
Rock was totally in character as Buzz Lightyear.  
Ryker let us put the lion suit on.  If you haven't seen how he reacted the first time this suit was put on look at Aaron's blog.  It was a riot.  
This has been our month.  We have enjoyed visiting with lots of family and friends.  Bonnie and I took in a musical in Seattle and also a quilt show in Wenatchee.  Parent conferences are over and now relaxation can seep in.
