Continued...

After we left Kirtland we drove to North Tonawanda, near Buffalo NY to visit Adam's grandparents. We had so much fun. My biggest lament is that we didn't take pictures of the kids with grandma and grandpa on our camera. But we had a wonderful time nonethe less. Here are a couple pictures of the kids playing- Caitlyn exploring and Bryant giving daddy kisses.

Every Tuesday, Grandma and Grandpa Grapes meet a basically family but really "just" friend Grandpa Gus at Wendy's. Grandpa Gus is one of the sweetest and most generous people on this earth. We had so much fun. In the picture you can see some cookies that Grandpa Grapes gave the kids- the puffy apple kind. Bryant is seen nibbling on his, and Caitlyn always put the whole thing in her mouth. I had to start breaking them up so they would last longer.

One day while we were in New York, we drove out to Palmyra and Fairport. These are just Palmyra. Adam had fun reminiscing about the pageant and I had fun reminiscing about watching it while he was in it :)
Here is Adam at his home in Fairport. Those trees used to be TINY but now they are HUGE! After we left Grandma and Grandpa's house (onThursday the 18th) we stopped in Indianapolis to visit Aunt Harriet and her son Doug. They were so kind to us and fed us like kings and queens. Then off again on the journey home. We stayed a night in Des Moines, and Laramie and then came home on Father's Day- June 21st. Each night we would let the kids out after the drive they were absolutely giddy and hilarious. By the end of the trip each of them would whimper or full on cry if we went ot put them in a car seat. But over-all, the kids did a great job. I was so happy. Adam and I had a fantastic time together. It was so hard to come home and face reality again. It took all last week to recover :) and now we have a month of preparing to move ahead of us. Wow.
Well, Caitlyn has been going nuts because I keep taking things away from her and bringing her away from all sorts of dangerous things and then putting her in "cages" like the exersaucer and swing. May be I should go baby proof my house:)
