Washington Trip

On the 24th of July we flew out of Salt Lake and headed for Washington state to visit Jeff's Grandma Duvall. Our flight didn't leave until late on Thursday so we flew into Spokane and spent the night. The following morning we got up and drove to Moses Lake, which is only about an hour away. Once we got there we were greeted by Grandma and Dawn and Dan (Jeff's uncle and aunt). We had a great time visiting with everybody and catching up on what we had missed out on.
The following morning we got up and began working on Grandma's yard. We concentrated on one particular flower bed that needed to be weeded and spruced up a bit. We pulled weeds, put down plastic and bark, and added a couple more plants to Grandma's flower garden. With everyone working on it we got it done in a couple hours. A couple of the guys trimmed some branches from a tree so it wouldn't hit the power line, which Grandma had been worrying about for quite some time.

This is the flower bed that we fixed up for her. She was so happy by the time it was all done!

While we were there Jeff had his birthday so we got a cake and some ice cream to celebrate.

This was the first time that Grandma Duvall had seen Madison.

This is Jeff's dad, Scott, with his brother, sisters, and mom.

This is Jeff's Aunt Dawn. She was so nice and watched Madison for us while we ran to the store.

This is Kathleen, Jeff's aunt. She is such a happy, fun person.

This is Jeff's dad holding Madison.

This is Jeff's Uncle Craig. He is a lot of fun and so easy-going.

This is Jeff's Aunt Kay. She lives by Grandma Duvall and she takes such great care of her.

I am so glad that we had the chance to go visit with Grandma Duvall. We had a great time visiting with them. Grandma Duvall is such a fun person. She is almost 89 years old and she is so healthy and full of spunk.
