It is Spring Break and we headed down to sunny St. George, Utah. Headed down to soak in the sun and spend time with Grandma Lundberg. I am prepared with my laptop, scanner, external hard drive and digital recorder to record her life story amongst other things. Super excited.
It is also Easter weekend so of course we had to bring an angry bunny along. Haha!
At one of our pit stops along the way we stopped for dinner. The kids soon found something to occupy their time with. It was one of the best $2 education you could ever get. They learned the lesson of the Rip-off.
Once Grandma and I got started on recording her life story the kids had to find something to do. So they made a Lemonade stand with their cousin Elaina who also lives in Grandma's neighborhood. Nate also took the kids to the park, swimming, the Natural History Museum, the Dinosaur tracks and the movies. All over the course of the weekend of course.
Grandma and I ended up recording over 9 hours of her Life Story. I was also able to scan a bunch of family photos, etc. We also dug out her Genealogy work and are preparing it to be copied for me. So it was a very productive weekend. I greatly appreciated Nate and his willingness to entertain the kids while Grandma and I got to work.
I love how in this photo I took of her while she was recording that there was a book in the bottom corner that is titled The Gift of a Memory. How fitting. Grandma has an excellent memory, even at the age of 88 years old. Like an Elephant, I tell ya.
On Saturday evening Nate's sister M'Lissa had us over for an Easter dinner. It was great to spend some time with their family as well. Matt and Jen and their family were also down for the weekend a bit.
