There has been lots of eating and a little sleeping. Lots of sun and a little rain. Lots of time in the water and a little bit of time on the playground. Lots of tubing and a little skiing.
I will miss it all, I will miss them all.
Besides wonderful memories, they left behind a few things to remind me they were here:
the Bolt DVD
some brown shorts
Cars undies
a gold necklace
GMC Yukon
potato baby
and
a beautiful granddaughter
CAMP starts tomorrow!
What happens when an almost three year old is hanging around in the kitchen with her Nana?
Potato baby is born.
Izzy made the announcement and brought me her little foundling with all the care of a dutiful mommy. A face was created, and then I helped her with a blanket and bed and even dressed her little tater in a pink sport sock. Izzy preferred my sock on her own foot and her baby au natural.
That little potato baby is a very special spud!
We are all looking forward to watching the launch!
First off, they rode the dinosaur (Dumbo) ride in Dinoland. 
Since it was so hot, they were very happy when it started to rain.
Tricia and I had gone to Target the night before and bought ponchos, but of course, Doug didn’t want to turn around when she realized that they had forgotten them. They got very wet. 
They loved the Lion King show.
Izzy finally consented to a picture with Minnie, because she's her favorite. Evidently, the rest of the characters pretty much freaked her out. 
They took a train ride out to Rafiki's Island which is the Disney Nature and conservation area. 
The newest attraction is a Mt. Everest roller coaster.
Courtney and Carter decided to chicken out, but the speed demon Jonah wanted to give it a try. He was barely the required 44 inches to ride. He loved it and earned himself a stuffed yeti for his bravery. 
They had a fun day, but were tired by the end of it. 
one day old
It was an easy birth and delivery. No meds were wanted or needed. I told the doctor that I would have her on the next contraction and he didn’t believe me saying that I wasn’t in enough pain. But, I did. The next day when I was released from the hospital, my mother-in-law and I went to the mall to have a picture taken, because the ones in the hospital were too expensive.
She has always been fiercely loyal to her sisters.
But the truth is that she loves people…all people, and tends to think the best of others and tries to see an issue from their perspective when things go awry.
She also forgives easily.
She was a happy baby and a happy child. She is great to be around because she seldom is stressed and she doesn’t want you to be either.
She likes to be comfortable. This bathing suit was one of her favorite “outfits”. There was a time when I could hardly get her to wearing anything besides a bathing suit.
Cherylyn loves the Lord and has an amazing testimony spawned by her study and retention of the gospel. It is great to talk with her about principles because her perspective is enlightening and multi-faceted.
She loves her country and although she thinks there is no place like home, she does get around and loves that too.
Happy birthday baby!
