What Ali did while we were gone

Ali stayed with Grandma Sue and Pa Pa while we went backpacking. She got to do many things. Before we were even to Bishop Grandpa had taken her to ride her bike around Children's Forest. She got to stay at her cousins while they had a meeting on Sunday. On Monday they took Ali and her friend, Louise, to the beach. They totally spoiled them letting them ride the boogie boards, getting them hot dogs and slurpies for lunch and then Mc Donalds for dinner. The girls played together well and really enjoyed themselves.






On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Grandma Sue and Pa Pa go to the Bishop's Storehouse where they are Service Missionaries. Ali got to go with them and help serve. She loved it! In fact she would rather go there than to school. She helped get orders ready for people who live far away and have to have their food orders shipped to them. She enjoyed herself the entire time and kept busy.

Ali also found time to go to Louise's, go to a friend's birthday party and make chocolate chip cookies. On Friday she had Louise over again and they enjoyed playing together in the backyard with water bottles as squirt guns.

We picked Ali up early Saturday morning and took her out to breakfast with us as a great way to end the vacation.
