A visit of loved ones from far away

Our family from Nebraska & Missouri came for a visit. This is our nephew Jake with Luke. We had a such a nice visit, that I forgot to pick up the camera and use it. I feel bad because I do this almost every time they come.

Here is a picture of our family with Jake. His sister Gabi & friend Whitney were shopping while we had some adventures in the outdoors.

Grandma's need to have at least two hands. They are loved on all sides. This is Faith & Dallin walking with my mother in law. They love to be near her.

On my way down for an emergency bathroom break I found this fun formation. Even though we ended up on a different path and people, who aren't used to the elevation, were tired; they followed me back up the path a little ways to see it for themselves.

They were not disappointed. That must be Goliath's foot!


Our boys love spending time with Jake, besides being Awesome, he is also the only boy cousin they ever see. They are surrounded by girls out here.

But Hey, even Faith likes Jake. He is just a great kid! Grandma likes being with all of these silly kids.

Gabi & Whitney LOVED the Gateway Mall. They were so great with the kids, but who can blame them? They are teenagers and this was more their style. It sounds like they had a Blast!

Talk about style! They loved getting air on the trampoline.

Jake got some serious air too, but man, look at that stretch. Awesome!

We all loved having Dave around. We can play games, joke around and just enjoy life together without any worries. He makes you feel happy to be near him.

And Jean too. She is always so positive & low stress, that she makes it easy to have house guests. She is holding the reason for the visit. This is our niece, Baby Carssen. She is so tiny! They came for some work for Dave & to see the baby get blessed. Sweet little Carssen was a little tired right then, but she was really so good!

The end of the trip was not a dream come true, but this picture expresses the reason we are so happy to still have this guy around. We sure love ya Dave!

Thanks Jake, Jean, Dave, Gabi, Whitney, Grandma & Grandpa Bennett for coming to spend some time with your Utah clan. Sorry I didn't get more pictures, especially of Grandparents. We really do love you!
