When Grandma Came to Town

The past 3 weeks, my mom has been here and not only did we have a blast, she was a great help with the boys and housework.  I don't think I did any dishes or laundry the entire time she was here, wow!
She had so much fun with her grandboys.  She got Jet started potty training and so far so good. Jet was always jumping on Grandma and after three weeks of it I am sure she was ready for a break. A week after she came, my brother Aaron came too.  Jet especially loved Aaron because he could throw him around and play with him.  He is a good uncle.  Some of the things we did: visited City Creek Center and Temple Square, toured Welfare Square, went to Lagoon, saw fireworks show, went to a demolition derby, visited Antelope Island (swam in Great Salt Lake), and many other fun things.
Jet loved Lagoon  and still talks about it.  I was surprised at how many rides he could go on at his age.  He especially loved the bumper cars. He loved the fireworks this year, last year he cried and hid under a blanket the whole time.
It was fun swimming in the Great Salt Lake, you really do float easily.  The water is soooooo salty, and unbelievably clear. Nothing lives in the water there so it really isn't too dirty. When you get out of the water you dry really fast and you have a coat of salt on your body that glistens. Check that off the bucket list!
We are so glad Grandma came to visit and all the fun we had.  We will see her in October when the boys have their birthdays!
