A weekend in the Banana Belt

We went to my parents' house for the weekend and it was a super weekend. The weather was fabulous, it was light jacket weather, and the kids LOVED being outside without any snow. I loved being outside without any snow too! Matt helped my dad a little on the timeshare and also did a little bull work for some Wayne County cattlemen. It truly was a great weekend.


The girls were outside also helping their grandpa work on the house (okay, not really - they were chasing the cat, having a saw dust picnic, climbing the hill, playing kick ball, etc) and Kelsey found a couple of nice pieces of wood that would make great stilts. Her grandpa of course obliged and the next thing you knew, Kelsey had some stilts to play on.


I was surprised at how quickly she learned to walk on them. She did a good job. It was fun to watch her. Now this summer she can have her grandpa make her some taller ones!


The timeshare is coming along nicely. Since the weather was good, they, Matt, my dad, and Rick, worked on the front porch.




When a cold wind came up, we would head inside and sit by the fire. Kendal had my mom playing soccer and roll the ball most of the day on Saturday. Thank goodness for grandmas and grandpas!


Kendal and her grandma. She calls her "damma." Kelsey thinks she is saying a bad word.

One more trip on the stilts before we go back to the snow and ice in Heber City. We had a super weekend. It was nice to get away and the nice weather was a bonus!

How nice to not see snow!!! I really have had enough! Sounds like a fun time - Grandma's and Grandpa's are the best.

I love the stilts -- that brings back memories. I still haven't figured out where this time share is that your Dad is building???

I remember the stilts that dad built for us girls when we were growing up. Especially the pair he built that at the time looked to be 5 feet up in the air. But were probably only 2-3 feet.

I need the time share done so I can go and spend time in Jacket weather without keeping your parents up all night with Jack Jack crying "It's STUCK!" Fun Fun, I don't think I have ever walked on stilts! I am a little jealous.
