A Little Bit of Everything


A couple weeks ago Caleb's parents came to visit. We had a lot of fun while they were here and did a little bit of something from about every category you can think of. We went to the Palmyra Pageant on Thursday evening, the dress rehearsal. It was great. Just like the "real" nights but with a lot less people and no hecklers.


Friday we did tasks around the house. Dale helped Caleb finally finish the base board and transition for the floor in the kitchen. Judy helped Camberly make new Roman shades for the kitchen. That night Dale and Caleb went to a Rochester Redwings game (Triple-A baseball). They said the entertainment between the games was great--Barak Ollama, Harry Canary, Bear Bonds, an octopus thing, etc. After deciding to leave before the fireworks, they got side swiped on the drive home. What a fun end to the night. Camberly and Judy went to JoAnns and got started on a project.
   


Saturday we headed down to Watkins Glenn State Park to see all the waterfalls. We took tons of pictures and got a little wet going under a few of the falls.



Then on the way home we stopped in Cananidagua to go to a Rochester Philharmonic outdoor concert at CMAC. It was a bunch of movie music from James Bond, Rocky, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars. It was a kid friendly concert and so they had characters from Star Wars there walking around and tons of kids had light sabers.



Sunday was for going to church, relaxing, and finishing the sewing project.


Monday we headed to the High Falls in Rochester and then Dinosaur BBQ before Dale and Judy had to head back home.


It was a fun and busy visit experiencing a lot that the area has to offer.

Reunion 2011


Over the 4th we took a quick trip out to the Jeppsen family reunion in Salt Lake.  It was a busy few days but we had a great time seeing everyone and hanging out. Fortunately everyone made it through without injury in the kiddie pool kickball, the relay races, and water balloon volleyball. Nights were rowdy with Wii dancing and raucous Uno games.



Curling was a challenge but lots of fun (I don't think we have any future Olympians in that sport).


 Some of us might be successful if we ever got on to Minute to Win It. And of course there was plenty of time to hang out, talk, swim, and hold any number of babies. 


Caleb ended up with an interesting sunburn and Camberly can't actually have a vacation without a sewing project. We had a lot of fun and look forward to the next one in a couple years.
