In late June, Kaytee needed a break and Grandmas Kim (Postma) and
I were only too happy to oblige. The
Postmas traveled to Anaconda for a few days, then brought 5-year-old Adyn and 2
½ year old Skylar back to southern Utah for a visit. In Hurricane, the little girls enjoyed
playing with cousins and being with Grandpa Mark and Grandma Kim. Five days later, they came to our house where
they played in the neighbor’s wading pool, at the splash pad at St. George’s
Town Square and slept together in our big guest bed. On Wednesday, July 3 we traveled to Ogden
where we enjoyed Kelly and Gary’s hospitality, went to Hogle Zoo and helped
America celebrate Independence Day with a huge fireworks show! On Friday, we
traveled the second half of our 13-hour trip to Anaconda, MT where the little
girls’ Mom and Daddy waited anxiously for their return.
In Anaconda we painted Adyn’s bedroom purple and yellow …
celebrated her birthday at the park … and saw “Monsters University” at the
beautiful Washoe Theater, designed and built by the same man who designed and
built Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Kaytee – through her usual careful planning and preparation – pulled off
a delightful birthday party for her 5-year-old, but nearly made herself sick
worrying about the weather. It rained
all morning and into the early afternoon while she prayed for a miracle of dry
weather for the party. Sure enough, just
before the little guests began to arrive, the clouds parted and the sun came
out. We gratefully looked to the heavens
and offered a prayer of thanksgiving.
There were tears shed when it was time to go home – not sure if it
was because we had to say goodbye or because of the 13-hour trip ahead of us. These high energy preschoolers wore us out
(thank goodness for Taisley who helped us ride herd on them), but it was so
much fun to be with them in St. George and in Anaconda!
