Malad

On our way back from the ranch we stopped by to see Jake's grandparents at their home in Malad. It was great to see them and the house where Jake and I spent some of our holidays back when we were engaged and first married (including a 4th of July when I was first expecting Joshua but didn't know it yet :).  Of course the house holds so many more memories for Jake and he really enjoyed showing our boys around.

First, some group shots:

Lucas was being a real character in true 3-year-old fashion but Jake's Grandpa really seemed to take a liking to him anyway.  He even coaxed Lucas into sitting next to him in a "special spot" for pictures.  I was grateful :)

Then down to the basement.  Here Joshua is daring Lucas to jump over a "really big spider."  Of course Lucas was up for the challenge.

Jake next to a bunk bed he slept on during many a visit:

Love this one -- go Josh!

Daniel reading a book from the extensive library down there.  He was enjoying some of the classics; Spy vs. Spy, Dennis the Menace, Garfield, etc.
