Wow! What a great time we had with G & G Hastings :-)

We are so glad that Grandma and Grandpa Hastings came to our home for a visit! It was awsome. We had a great time and a lot of fun!

• I've got to say first, however, that, once again, I am the world champion at Dominos. That is right. I outlasted everyone. I was able, with my superior intellect and ability to "make things happen", while others relied on "the luck of the draw", as I was saying, I was able to out last everyone, every game! I not only had the most points every game, but the most dominos every game too. At the end of one game, I had to put dominos back while everyone else was drawing, as I was left with more than the required amount to start the next game!

Aside from the fun and games, here is how our visit went (see pic's below):

• Monday afternoon we visited while waiting for the school kids to come home.
• For dinner, we served Len's home made pizza and bread sticks!
• For family home evening we made video of G & G Hastings relating stories from their dating and early married years.
• After FHE, came the imfamous domino championship
• On Tuesday we did yard work in the morning
• In the afternoon Grandpa and I repaired the sprinkler system
• Debby and Grandma went shopping, checking out the new Wal-mart
• Grandpa and I also edited our FHE movie and made a DVD. (If you are a good little boy or girl, perhaps Santa will send you a copy!)
• Tuesday night we watched movies, U.S. Marshalls (Grandpa said, "Too much!")
• Tuesday late night, Grandma read and the rest of us stayed up to watch Napoleon Dynamite! It was actually late enough that Grandpa got some real laughs out of this show!
• Wednesday morning, I had to go to work...:-(
• Everyone here at the Mitchell ranch visited for the morning, after sleeping in....:-)
• Tuesday afternoon Grandpa and I loaded up some of the 2003 reunion video on the computer and watched many of the talent show clips. Hopefully... this will also be available in the not tooooo distant future.
• Debby and Grandma spent the afternoon checking out the rest of the high quality shopping in our area including the Dollar Store, Hobby Lobby, Garden Ridge and Target.
• Wednesday early evening, Grandma and Debby worked on craft projects and family history while Grandpa and Len edited videos.
• Late Wednesday, Len had the awsome opportunity to troubleshoot and repair a water leak from an unknown source under the kitchen sink!!! (see pic's below for yet another use for ABC gum!!!)
• Thursday morning, it was Cinnamon Sunrise and good-byes.
