Scott & Jess & Evan

Scott and Jess and Evan took their first road trip to see us from Phoenix. 

They arrived Friday late afternoon. I was going to leave work early, but I didn't bother to tell anyone to call when they arrived. Luckily they hadn't really been home too long before I got home. 

We just enjoyed sitting around the house and watching Evan keep busy with whatever he felt like doing. He played the piano a lot. I don't remember that he played with any toy more than another. He is still at the age where they seem to dabble for a very short time with something and then move on. He did like being outside. Scott took him for a walk around the block on Saturday and it got to be too hot. 

On Sunday we only attended Sacrament meeting. Our block of meetings is in the middle of Evan's naptime and it seemed the better choice to come home and just relax. 

I had planned on doing a little more cooking, but we simplified and ate sandwiches for a couple meals. I made a peach cake that was so delicious the first time I made it, but I think I might have baked this one too long. I was kind of disappointed. I hate when that happens. 

We did stay at the house for the weekend. It's just too hot to drag people around during the summer.  We all enjoy watching movies, watch Evan, eat, sleep - you know things like that. 

So here are the pictures.
On their way.

All the Daly men.

Fred passed the torch of the wheel barrow ride to Scott. 

I think Evan had fun. 

 And they're off!

  Fred brought home more BIG boxes from work, but I think Evan needed some cousins to help him discover the wonder of BIG boxes.

 Evan is obsessed with sitting in containers. Any size.
It's pretty cute!!

I think Fiesta Fun was a pretty big hit. Jess set the new high record for the basketball hoop arcade game. 

 This is probably my favorite picture.

 The visit was short, but very sweet.
I'm really glad that Evan is a good passenger and that a long road trip like that was doable for them.
Heck - Fred and I don't even like driving that far anymore.
Next time we see this family of three, it will be a family of four.
Wow.
