since i last posted

Since last Tuesday, when I posted last, our week has been a whirlwind. We'll start with Wednesday in which we began the day with dentist appointments. All 5 @ one time. We occupy 2 chairs @ a time and we were there for 2 hours. All is well with the Wardlings teeth. Penny puts on such a show. The hygienists all get a kick out of her visit. Of course the hygienists pass along loads of goodies to take home.
Late Wednesday night, Grammy and Papa came to town. They spent Wednesday night and Thursday night with us. We went to a park close by and had a picnic dinner. Ricky and his Mayra came to the park and ate with us and later we were joined by Clyde's other brother Rusty and his Lauren and their twins.

Friday morning when Ed and Becki left, they took Erin and Jacob along with them for the week. Josh and Libby stayed with Grammy and Papa over spring break and so it was now Erin and Jacob's turn. They are having a blast with Grammy & Papa @ the beach. Then mid morning, we had more company...Maylee and Jared came by for a visit and spent the night with us. They brought along their new addition...Oola. Stay tuned for more to come on the adventures of Oola in the Brown house with the Wardlings. We went to Libby's talent show (which I will post photos of soon) and then we checked the Wardlings out of school and hit the Emerald City. We ended up @ a history museum downtown. (Again, I'll post pictures soon.) This was one of my favorite works of art in the museum. The museum itself is a converted church and so they kept the stain glass window. I just thought it was very pretty.

After the museum, we hit the fountains, where the Wardlings had a blast getting wet. They ran in and out of the sprinklers until they were nearly soaked. They had such fun!

The talent show, museum, and sprinklers didn't only wear out Miss Penny....Jared was asleep before we made it home.
Saturday we went by Sister D's costume shop for some vital pieces of Clyde's trek wardrobe. I just love being in the costume shop. There are so many works of art that Sister D has created. She is such a wonderful gal!! Speaking of the trek, I finished my clothes and we are doing the packing tomorrow. We leave Thursday morning. It is supposed to rain every day.

Fun to see the updated photos of all Wardlings and one tired Sholar! Looks like you had a grand time. I'll bet your 2 are enjoying the beach! Thanks for sharing photos. I'll watch for more postings. Have fun on your trek! It has been raining here too. Manda left for 4H camp today. They were expecting possible snow. They camp up above Sun Valley! Love Auntie Jewel
