And then Morgan came to visit!

Autumn was here from the 14th-21st, then Morgan crashed her party by coming on the 18th. 
She (Morgan) is working the summer at ClimbWorks, a zip line company in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  After spending the night in the Vegas airport, she flew to Owensboro for a couple of days, then we drove her to Nashville where she met up with some other Utah State kids she will be working with.

So once again we crossed town to the magnificent Owensboro Airport to pick her up.  Morgan dodged disaster and flew in on a big Allegiant plane.


Owensboro is pretty cool in that the planes land about 25 yards away from you.  Carver loves it.

 Owensboro isn't pretty cool in that they make you walk out the front doors of the airport to pick up your luggage in the parking lot.

Morgan also got to experience softball and tball in some real heat and humidity. 
 (Just easing her in to her Tennessee summer full of sweat and chiggers.)

She also got to see Charlotte's first attempts at no training wheels.
 Started shaky but ended strong.


She says the socks keep her legs from getting scratched up.



Macie's birthday is on the 24th but she insisted we celebrate while Morgan was here.  We went to Real Hacienda so she could wear the big sombrero and be embarrassed.

There's no better way to celebrate being 6!


After a few fun days we headed to Nashville.  Carv got car sick on the way and puked up chunks, but we still made it in time to drop Morgan with strangers in the Costco parking lot. 
Let summer begin!!

I almost forgot!  I must mention how Todd shut Macie's finger in the back door of the van, so I jumped out to open it not realizing the van was in reverse, so Morgan yelled, I almost ran over myself, Autumn hopped back in and threw it into park, I opened the back, Autumn sprinted for ice, but then Macie was totally OK so we called Autumn back and crisis was averted.

And, Autumn's plane was delayed cause there were storms in St. Louis and you can't really fly that tiny plane in or over anything, so she got to stay one more night with us, but on our way to pick her up from the airport again I ran over the garbage can, so I called Todd and told him the 'coons or possums must have gotten into it.  So yeah, Morgan and Autumn officially think I am crazy. And probably Todd, too.
