We had a few visitors from California come out east to visit us. (great grandpa and grandma Dabling, grandpa and grandma Bevan, Emma and Maddie). The night they arrived we had some "Fancy Nancy parfaits" to celebrate Libby's birthday with family.
Emma Kaye was so excited to be here. :)
Bright and early the next morning we drove western New York to Palmyra to explore some church sights and see the Cumorah Hill pageant. Grandma and Grandpa Bevan brought some fans up from NYC for the girls. They think they are the best things and take them just about everywhere. They did help cooling us off too. My family came during the hottest week of our summer this year.
Josh watched all the kids while the rest of the adults did a temple session at the Palmyra temple.
SO Bright!
Kennedi started to get real tired of pictures and was getting hungry and tired. Our typical girl.
4 generation photo, Parker is real out numbered.

Waiting for the pageant to start.
We ate some amazing bbq chicken, salt potatoes, roll, and cole slaw dinner. The topped that off with some ice cream sandwiches.
And popcorn.
Emma was dedicated the hairdresser for the trip. She can do some awesome braids.
After church we headed over to see the Smith farm.

Parker was not feeling very good and was so tired. Maddie was amazing and walked with him in the shade and sang him songs. What a good aunt!
Finally passed out. Poor boy was worn out.

Next day we drove a couple more hours west into Canada and went to Niagara Falls.

Cool upside down trees the girls loved playing under.
Our very own queen of Sheeba! She said her legs were just too tired to walk anymore.
Sisters.
Horseshoe Falls. The views on the Cananian side are so much better than the American side.
View from our hotel room window. At night they light up the falls. The hotel was so awesome!!
