An Update...Finally

On Thursday, Trent's parents came to visit us and they left this morning. It was good to see them again, and it was nice for the girls to be able to spend time with them. Brooke was, of course, enthusiastic about their visit, and it didn't take Jade very long to warm up to them. I think that the last time we saw Grant was in July so I am sure Jade didn't have much of a recollection of him, if any. We went to the old Yuma prison and the West Wetlands Park and went swimming at the hotel pool. The Wetlands Park is pretty neat because it has a huge castle play structure, among other things. The castle is cool except that it is so big it is nearly impossible to see the other side of it, which isn't too great when you have little children. Brooke wanted to play on the much smaller playground, though, so we didn't have to worry.

Oh yeah, the weather has started getting pretty warm -- today was 82! I don't really appreciate it as much as I normally would because I didn't experience a cold winter. That kind of makes me sad because even though the cold of winter gets kind of trying, it makes the nice weather of spring seem so much better.
