Because I forgot to bring the cereal, Ammon and Jamie fed us breakfast again. They are so kind! Then we just sat around and connected for an hour or so while the kids played. That was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Ammon and Jamie are so fun to connect to. We connected over politics, religion, life/spiritual journeys, family, climate change and possible future locations to live. While we were feeling socially nourished, the kids were having tons of fun together and even built their own home as you can see below:
We then drove home and finished All the Light You Cannot See shortly before we got back to Orem. First we washed Basil and then Lily and I groomed him for a long time (Lily did the hard part). We also unpacked, and Lily worked with the kids on music and Neil Giles came over to give Clarissa ice cream for her birthday. Then Lily and I were so tired, we went to bed early, which was amazing. What a wonderful weekend!
