A day at the Cave with Grandpa


Yesterday Hailee and Chase went to Timpanogas Cave with their Grandpa Al. He is awsome with them, he will come and get them at least once a month during the summer on his day off and take them for the whole day. This time he decided to take them to Timpanogas Cave. He came and got them at about 9 in the morning. They had so much fun, but got a little tired on the way back down the trail (it's about a mile and a half each way). It really saved us yesterday, because Todd's Grandma died yesterday morning. Since Todd is an only child, and his parents are divorced, we are all Karen has to help her cope with the loss of her mom. We spent the day with her helping her get ready for the funeral, and just being there to help. Thanks, Nana for taking Issac for us, we love you so much. Todd's family (one aunt, four cousins and three kids) are not members of the LDS faith, so they are having a really hard time with the loss. It is really hard when they think there is nothing left, that they will never see her again. It is still hard on us even though we know it is not the end, and I am so very grateful to know that she is no longer in pain, and she is with lots of family getting to know them again. Thanks to all who love and support us, it means so very much, even if it is long distance! Can't wait to see everyone soon.

I am so sorry about Todd's Grandma. We'll keep his family in our prayers. I love the picture of your kids hiking!!! What a fun thing for them to do.
