Vacation at the Grandparents Day 3

Today we left early and went to Ogden to find roses for Grandma’s Mother’s Day gift.  We first went to Lowe’s and that was a bummer.  They did not have any good roses so we went to Home Depot and hit the jackpot. 

We got three fruit trees.  An apricot, a cherry and a prune so that gives us six fruit trees for our yard. When they all start producing,  we will not have to buy fruit for canning and drying again.

We found two rose bushes to replace the ones that Evan and Mallory dug out yesterday.  We looked and looked but could not find the Mr. Lincoln’s that we dearly love.  We were just about ready to check out when we spotted them. 

We came home and planted all the trees and the roses and the kids played hard at the neighbors.  Then Mikey’s parents had a wiener roast for all the neighborhood kids in their back yard.  Canyon said he ate 4 and Evan ate 1.

They had to shower as they were so dirty and sweaty and stinky from all the hard playing today.   Evie fell asleep at 9:00 but Canyon stayed awake until 10:00 in anticipation of his parents arrival. 

We have had a wonderful time and hate to see the time end.  We do enjoy the little ones here.

You should go dig the roses out of my yard. They are so beautiful, it just breaks my heart to know that no one will be there to enjoy them and take care of them.:(
