Grandma Conklin (Mema) Visits

At the beginning of August, we received a visit from Jason's mom from NJ. She stayed with us almost a whole week. And I don't know how this happened, but we didn't get a picture of her with Chase, which is making me really sad! I wasn't kidding when I said we were horrible with taking pictures. Anyway, she arrived late Friday night. On Saturday we took her to the Dinosaur museum at TP (which is the largest dinosaur museum in the world so they say). It was pretty cool. I recommend going if you have never been. Then we ate at Mimi's cafe. The next day (Sunday) we surprised her by taking her to the Sunday brunch at the Grand America Hotel. Delicious doesn't even describe how good the food was! And there was a ton of it, they had a juice bar, seafood bar, breakfast bar with crepes, eggs any way you like them, french toast, pancakes, waffles, and of course breakfast meats, salads, lunch dishes, desserts, plus they were grilling ribs, chicken and pork outside.

Unfortunately, that Monday I got really sick with some kind of stomach bug which lasted until Friday. So for the rest of Jean's stay, I was pretty much stuck in bed and couldn't show her any other wonderful things in the state of Utah (which is pretty limited, I must say). It just means she has to visit again soon!

Here are some pictures from the dinosaur museum:
This was my favorite, a really huge sea turtle
Family picture time-ugh I hate that I don't photograph very well

The next time we come out to visit (probably at least a year from now - I don't plan on traveling until after the baby's born) we have to go to the dinosaur museum together. We've never been and Luke LOVES dinosaurs!
