Grandpa's birthday


On February 27, after the temple open house, we (sans Becca and Mariah who were still on the high school arts department trip to Disneyland) traveled to the E-Center to watch Bear River win their state semi finals game of basketball. Then, we continued around the Oquirrh Mountains to stay the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Bradfield in Tooele.The next day was Grandpa's birthday.

If you look at the picture, he didn't just turn eight. The blue candles each stood for a decade. So, he was 71.

We had a great time getting to know Aunt Daryl again. (She's staying with them now.) We helped Daryl with her puzzles, enjoyed the crisp spring air and enjoyed seeing John and Christy's children: Kara, Aftyn and Paige. We even went bowling with Grandpa and Uncle John.

Later, Grandma cooked a wonderful spaghetti dinner, which Aunt LaWrene and Uncle Don Wayne came to enjoy with us and Grandpa blew out candles.

The kids had a blast swimming in the Tooele pool, which they love because of the lazy river and water slide.It was a wonderful weekend, but we sure were happy to see Becca and Mariah again when we came home from church on Sunday.
