We started by meeting Grammuh and Grampuh at the Century theatre to see Wall-E a movie we have been talking about for several months. The boys were very good and they absolutely loved the movie. It really is such a cute show-- I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
After the movie, we headed up to the Hansen's to eat lunch and play while we waited for Emily, Jon & Abby to arrive from Colorado. This was their last visit to Salt Lake from Colorado before they move in a couple of weeks to Michigan. We've been spoiled having them so close and it was fun to see them again.
While the kids played, Chris and I got further acquainted with our little camera...
It was nice and toasty in Salt Lake, and lucky for us, Grammuh had the pool set up! The boys LOVE swimming-- especially Thomas-- and they enjoyed cooling off in the water while I ran a few errands.
I think this picture of Thomas jumping in the pool is hilarious. Scrawny little thing!
After the Hales arrived, we packed up and went downtown to the Salt Lake City Art Festival. I always enjoy seeing the eclectic mix of art at these shows, and it was fun to get Jon's (he just graduated with a Master's in Fine Art) perspective. Chris took the boys over to the kid's art yard, where they were able to make some of their own art.
Gordon was very excited to show off his creation-- so excited, in fact, that you can't tell what it is in this picture! Oh well, at least he's cute!
One of the highlights of the kids area was a setup with a bunch of musical instruments.
We ate a tasty dinner (the best of my four corn dogs this week by far) and had fun watching the kids play together. Abby is such a sweet little thing. We're excited for their new adventure, but sad that they won't be within driving distance!
Thanks again to Gramm and Gramp for giving us such a fun Saturday!

PS- Love the new header!
Cute layout, Elise! I love that picture of Tom jumping in the pool. Those great memories will stay with your kids all their lives! You are such a good mom! =)
FUN! Thanks for sharing Wall-E with us and thanks for the cute pics! I especially enjoyed Chris's nostrils. By the way, I appreciate immensely the lack of any photo representation of me in a swimming suit. You are so kind.
Looks like summer is in full swing there. We saw Wall-E too and we all loved it. But I've talked to several people that have hated it. Must be you either love it or you hate it. Nothing in between. And THANK YOU for the cute paper to do such a fun header this month with. You are so talented!
that picture of thomas jumping into the pool is so funny! looks like a very fun weekend.
We can't wait to have fun with you guys in August! De Artons and Hansens really know how to have a good time. We're such sticks-in-the-mud, now more than ever. Also loved the action picture of Thomas and the cute picture of Gordon! We will get a webcam one of these days to keep in touch better with our cousins.
Are you loving your new camera?
Sounds like a good time for all, the corn dogs sound delish-- of course people in Texas love anything fried.
Oddly enough, Derrick and I got to swim in a pool just like that this past weekend! Looks like you are enjoying your summer. I freaking miss you guys, that's for sure! Tell Chris hi for me!
Sounds like fun, hopefully you will be swimming with us in a few more weeks!
