Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

Well, I didn't think they would ever get here! But so far, we are having the best weekend. My parents got here about 2:00 on Thursday. As soon as we got the car unpacked, we headed over to the school to get the girls. I wish I had taken my camera. The look of pure joy on their faces was priceless! Of course, grandma brought some gifts, and I was included! Even better, we got a lovely package from Grandma Puppy the same day. And I was included! My parents gave me the cute Kiss Me toad, because I love frogs, and the Walnut Tree book. And Kristy sent me this darling heart candle! Thank you everyone!
Everyone else got gifts too, but this is my blog!
We spend a great afternoon together, hanging around outside. When Nate got home, we headed to Barro's for dinner. Yummy! After dinner, we came home and played Apples to Apples and Ticket to Ride. Both games are a lot of fun.
Friday I kept the girls out of school. We headed south and took in lunch at the Cracker Barrel and then went to the Ostrich Farm. We LOVE the Ostrich Farm. We had so much fun. They have deer to feed, emu, ostrich, donkeys, and lorikeets. Lorikeets are a little bird that you hold out a cup of nectar and they come land on you and eat. Now, I hate birds, but this is a lot of fun. I think birds think my curly hair is a nest, because they love to sit on my head!
The ostrichs will bite, you can see from my dad's hand how rough they can be! (But I think he provokes them a little)

After the Ostrich Farm, we wanted to head to the Mesa Temple to check out the new photograph exhibit they have on display there. If you live here, or you are planning on coming to town, please go visit this exhibit. They were the most beautiful and powerful photos I have ever seen. It is called Reflections of Christ, and it will surely bring tears to your eyes. When we walked out of the Visitors Center, we noticed a bride and groom getting their photos done. Megan exclaimed that it was the photographer from the exhibit. And she was right! So we were so honored to meet him.
