August

The first part of August we all headed to Grace, Idaho. The circumstances were sad ones. Matts best friend since second grade, Mitch Bennett, had passed away and his funeral was the first Saturday in August. Matt was asked to speak at Mitch's funeral. He delivered a great talk and a touching tribute to his friend. 

That weekend also happened to be the Caribou County Fair, and the Arizona Washburns were visiting too. Tyler brought the kids up from Idaho Falls and the cousins were all together for the parade and the rides at the fair. 

They each got to pick an activity and Bennett picked the hard side of the rock wall and made it too the top!

Sunday morning we left Grace and headed to Idaho Falls for Tyler and Katie's new baby boy, Landon, baby blessing. After which, Jemma convinced Grandma Julie to let her stay the week by herself at her house. Jemma had an amazing week with no brothers and undivided Grandma time. She also got some special time with Daddy. Matt stayed in Driggs, Idaho for scout camp. Matt picked her up the night before he came home and she was able to camp with him for one night. 

It was great to get one more visit in to Idaho before school starts in a couple of weeks.
