Family in town

The 2 and a half weeks that mum and dad Liddicoat were in town were very busy and wonderful. We really appreciated them coming. These photos are not in order. As you can tell....photo above is of the last night they were in town. Hyrum was getting his cub scout awards and it was great to have grandparents there to cheer him on. He also conducted the meeting and for the most part, did a great job. (As good as an excited 8 year old can be :)

The Macaroni Grill. Peaceful was one word to describe it. (No children!) Another was delicious.

Hyrum's birhthday present. The 'ultimate' boy's gift!!

Mum found a shirt that says....


All Bethany's fantasies came at once when she could go with gran and grandad to the shop 'Build a Bear' and pick out her own bear for her birthday. The first thing I heard from dad when I saw them after this special shopping experience was that Beth took one hour choosing her bear! I can just imagine how much fun dad had in there!!!! Of course it is called 'Ariel' but it also goes by another name....frosty. Frosty can sing and has a matching dress and ear muffs.

The night before mum and dad left we went to Chuckarama to eat (not the best name for a restaurant). It lives up to its name but the children think it is wonderful. Think sizzlers but up a notch. The night before was when the adults got to go to macaroni grill and it was really the 2 extreme meal experiences.


Grandparent therapy. Not sure who loved it more....me or Isaac?


Of course it wouldn't be the whole Provo experience if we didn't climb the Y. Whilst the Gharrings were here for Thanksgiving we had some beautiful weather, however despite the sun being out, it was still very cold.



After working up an appetite, we went to Hobble Creek park and had a cold picnic. The bonus about it being cold was we didn't need an esky. (Or a cooler for those Americans!)




I am a sucker for natural photos and I think this photo says alot. It was wonderful having greandparents around for awhile. They helped out so much I was wondering how I did it when family isn't around. We are so grateful that they could come and visit and really appreciated all they did for us :) Thanks mum and dad!
