It wouldn’t be a trip to Grandma and Grandpa Walton’s house, unless we walked to the pond to feed the ducks.
After a fun filled wedding week in Utah Chris headed back home to Germany while Katie, Matthew and I hitched a 14 hour ride back to Vancouver with my parents. It was Chris’ idea actually. When we were looking at flights for the wedding Chris checked out flights from Vancouver to Frankfurt and came up with the whole plan. He’s fabulous that way.
My mom took the whole week off and we spent our days getting ready for Amy’s open house, decorating and organizing the house, sleeping in, shopping, eating fries and gravy at Costco, doing a session at the new Vancouver Temple, and watching movies like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. It was wonderful.
It was great having Mike there too. He is the best tutor for all things computer and photography related… plus he’s just so fun to talk to... especially late at night. He was good to endure Katie’s relentless pleas to watch movies or play games with her. She was so 10 year old silly and I kept reminding her that she’d better stop acting so crazy around him or else he was going to tell stories at her wedding. She said, “Mom, he’s the one that’s starting everything and he’s not married yet so I’m going to tell stories at his wedding.” It was sure fun having him around for the week.
Mike tried out his new extreme video camera on the kids all week including strapping it to Matthew in a make-shift ‘diaper-cam’ so we could see life of a crazy toddler from Matthew’s view. It was pretty funny.
Below, Mike is hitching a ride home on the back of the van ‘Back to the Future’ style. Matthew thought it was so funny.

I love that picture of Mike through the back window. He looks so 'Back to the Future' cool.
LOVED the blog, Lisa. What I wouldn't give to see the diaper/cam thing that Mike took with Matthew. It looks like you all had so much fun together and I bet Katie can give Mike a run for his money.
Haha! That was a lot of fun to have you guys up in Vancouver. Maybe more fun than Canyoneering? Hard to say. Katie, you better not say anything embarrassing at my wedding... and what could you possibly say anyway? Oh by the way Lisa, I'll have to show you the diaper cam footage; it turned out pretty well.
