Lind Family Stay-Over

St. George is located right on the main artery freeway to Las Vegas and southern California,

so Roger and I get stay-over visits when some of our traveling families pass through.

Mindy, Jeff and kids spent a week going to Disneyland, Universal Studios and the beach, 

stayed in our home on the way going while we were in Mesa, 

then stayed with us for a couple of nights on their way back home up north.

So fun to have the kids visit Grandma and Grandpa!

Charlie, Jack, Addie and Fiona

Roger grilled some salmon and we made roasted potatoes, corn and tossed green salad for dinner.

Miss Addie set our table so pretty!

I had made an ice cream pie a couple of weeks before that I had stored in my freezer 

for whatever company we had next. 

I had had extra whipping cream to use up, 

so I tried a new recipe to simulate those yummy drumstick cones. The crust is made out of sugar cones, 

then there is chocolate ganache spread on the crust, 

then the homemade vanilla bean ice cream, 

then a chocolate shell with nuts on top. It was a hit!

The kids swam both days they were here and Roger and I swam with them on Saturday.

We played Marco Polo for awhile and just played in the water.

Miss Fi is scared of the water right now, 

so she watched the fun, sitting on the highest step of the pool sometimes.

Mindy got pics of the kids making towers, and they actually made a four decker with Charlie on top, too, 

but she didn't get a pic of it.

Fiona and I sang along with lots of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and other Silly Songs on the iPad.

After we showered and blow-dried, we got a quick pic with the kids  

before they headed home late Saturday afternoon.

It was another fun time with our littlest grandkids!

We're glad I-15 passes through St. George and brings our kids and grandkids to us!
