August 2020 Part II

The second half of August included a great visit from the Hastings who came to install Tucker at the University of Utah and enjoy a slice of Utah summer. The Taylor/Woodbury project continued apace, and Kris and I made a quick day trip to Vernal for Evelyn's 5th birthday.

Kris sharing birthday-greeting Polos from the aunties with Evy

She is a born helper and had a clear idea what she wanted for her cake

She is fond of rainbows; I mean, who isn't?

She wanted a slip and slide and to limbo

Dinner time

She chose Spam musubi and ramen, and they were delicious

When you are five, birthdays are thrilling

She killed it

The precast front walk

The Marlpit-Hill Boytons came again at the very end of the month, but I will include their visit in next month's post. This is it for August.

August 2020 Part I

August actually was an unusual month for Covid lockdown, with some fun activities and visits, so there will be two posts. The first part of the month included Emily's birthday, more door painting, a visit from the Colvers (without Daniel who was working on some stuff), and lots of progress at Opa and Annies new digs.

Happy greeting

These kids both call her Grandma, not Grammy

The battery on this toy never wears out

So willing to . . . HELP!

There is one more August post to follow, but this is all for now.
