Porch Monkey Sunday

After church on Sunday (Church was great, by the way. Interesting discussions, real discussions, etc.  Why can't all wards be like my parents ward, sigh?) Rachel Edgren was in town and stopped by for a visit.  Very fun to see her.

 Dinner was delish:

After dinner Megan, who was also in town, Jeff, Amy, Katy, and Eliza came by for a long porch monkey session. Nicole even stopped by later for a bit. Good times.  So fun to catch up with the cousins:

I believe this picture features every one of the HDT granddaughters except Katy the squirrely newlywed who can't attend hang out sessions:

 I love me a good Provo summer.  (except this day was too hot).

Sad side note about this day.  Poor Carla Sue got a bad stomach bug and was throwing up all night every 20 minutes.  Poor thing.  She was so cute though after one of her bouts of barfing.  "Mom, towels are so useful.  They can dry you off, wipe up throw up, and if you don't have a blanket they can keep you warm."  Wise words.
