Visit from the Rasmussen's - Part 2

I wish I had more pictures, but we another great day with the Rasmussen's when we got back from Oregon. We had decided to meet at Thanksgiving Point. Emily & Lindsey had their last day of a cooking & sewing class they took over the summer, so they went to that and Jon was able to stay with Hannah while she took a nap. I took Jack and Kate and drove to Thanksgiving Point. Kirsten & Becca (Ammon's sister) were trying to get ready to leave the next day for their sister's wedding, so we made it there first. It was a beautiful day and I had some cards in my bag. We sat in the shade and played games. It was such a fun time to be with these 2.

Then, we went into "Farm Country." The kids loved seeing the animals and for $0.50 they fed them dried corn for quite awhile. We went on a little wagon ride and then met Kirsten, Becca & the kids at the Dinosaur Museum.

We had a fun time seeing the museum. Then, we left to get home and then met everyone again at a Bees game that night. My sister Becky was kind enough to get us really great seats (in the shade right before home plate!) and it was even "kids eat free" night. It was such a nice summer evening and fun to enjoy it together.

This baby donkey loved Kate's skirt and kept nibbling on it.

We were then able to see the Rasmussen's (including Ammon by now), one last time on the following Sunday evening. They had travelled back from Vegas and they were kind enough to baptize Ethan in Utah so that their family & friends could be there. We soaked up every moment we could with them and then had to say a fond farewell! We love them so much and so much appreciated all the time they sacrificed to spent with us! We can't wait to see them again!

Cute kids!
