Part 2

On Friday we saw more grandparents.

Grandpa Ray and Grandma Ellen (and Iggy)

Grandma Mary and Grandpa Frank

Abby, Briton and Hannah got to see all their Casaday cousins that evening while my parents took my sisters, significant others and us to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. The kids got their picture taken. The adults did not. (They were busy eating a lot of food.)

Friday night we planned to attend the University of Utah gymnastics meet. (Oh, how we miss being regularly attending fans!) On the way, Briton started crying and crying and crying. This is pretty out of character for him so we pulled over to try to figure out what was wrong. We never did. But...the car wouldn't start after that. Sad. We think it must have been "meant to be" that we figure it out pre-meet and not too far from home because otherwise it would have been difficult to get everyone home and get the car fixed. It turned out to be a rather simple fix and all was well. (We didn't make it to the meet though. Oh well, maybe next year when they come to U. of M.!)

On Saturday, we got family pictures taken with the Wessmans. We are excited to see them!

We celebrated Briton's and two of his cousins' birthdays at McDonalds that morning. It was a really fun and relaxed way for the cousins to play and acquaint/reacquaint themselves with each other.

That evening we went to the Discovery Gateway children's museum with lots of family members. It looks like the camera followed Briton most of the evening. He loves playing kitchen. He must have found a tool set because he is cutting vegetables with a saw.

I recognize that Hannah is not showing up a ton in the pictures I've posted thus far. Rest assured - she gets to be the star in the next post!
