Visits from my Sisters

My sister Julie came a few days earlier than originally planned so she could watch Bailee and Owen while Mat and I went backpacking. She is the best! Bailee had so much fun with her kids. I owe her big time because Owen wouldn't take a bottle and so she had some long nights. She must really love me.
Karin moved to Arizona last year and decided after last July that she will never spend another July in Arizona. So she took a three week vacation and spent a week of it here with us. Since she was coming Julie and Kristin decided to come here too so they could see her and of course us too. We had so much fun while they were here. I can't believe all of the stuff we were able to fit in to one week. In a weeks time we went to four parks and had picnics. Picked raspberries at GG's,and made jam with them. Made cards, roasted marshmallows, had two BBQ's, had several volleyball games, played Dance Dance Revolution, and laughed a lot. We went to Idaho City for a hike and yummy ice cream. We also went to the Twin Falls Temple Open House. It was so fun to take the kids. Bailee had been looking forward to going to the temple for weeks and was sad when we couldn't go in again. (we are going again because Matt didn't get to come with us, she will be so happy.)
