Trip to Washington!

We had such a nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa Wright. Wow G&G Dickson are getting so old. 94 and 96, and I'm pretty sure Grandma didn't know who I was at all. They just mostly sleep all day.


 I was so happy to get my 5 generations photo.  Avery was so funny. She was afraid of Grandma Dickson at first, and you could tell she wanted to go up to her, but when Grandma would look her way, she'd get shy and run. Eventually she went up to her and started talking, and then she climbed on a stool and counted, "one...two...three" and was about to jump into Grandma Dickson's lap. I grabbed her quick before she jumped. I think it would have killed Grandma. Avery has such a huge personality. 

We went to the Ice Caves while we were there. We went on quite a long hike to get to them, then the boys hiked a little further to this  waterfall, there were several falling into the ice caves, but they were all so hot, they took off their shirts and took a shower in the waterfall. (Dad, Conner, Uncle Lee, and his boys)




Conner and dad went deep sea fishing. Conner caught a salmon, but the waves were terrible, and dad got really sea sick. I don't think they'll go again any time soon. 

The cabin was fun. We were right on the ocean, it was really windy, and we flew a kite right off the balcony. Avery gathered probably 50 sea shells. As we'd walk she would hand them to me. I'd accidentally drop them here and there because I couldn't carry them all. She really got along good with Emi, she calls her Mimi, and Parlee is Molly. But she really loves them!










Steve came into town to see Sarah and go with her family to Lake Powell, he ended up getting really sick. Diarrhea and throwing up for 4-5 days. He was absolutely miserable. He had to cancel his flight back to Pennsylvania and stay at Sarah's house, because we were out of town, and he couldn't fly in that condition. It turned out to be salmonella. There were about 16 of the 36 people on the house boat that got sick, but Steve was the worst! He's back now, and we are proceeding with the wedding plans.
