It was great to have family visit on Saturday, July 12, 2014.
Casmille and Jason and their two little boys Lincoln and Parley drove over to New York from Boston. Braden and Lauren also came form Boston where he is working this summer on an internship.
We enjoyed a good visit.
We had as wonderful morning together visiting in the Zion's Pavilion.
This is the first that Derek has met Lauren because his brother married her while he was on his mission.
Braden had not met Parley either since he was born while he was on his mission.
Levi, Spencer and Preston loved playing with their little nephews.
We loved the opportunity to just sit and visit.
All of the family was together except for Travis and Holly.
I enjoyed getting better acquainted with Lauren.
The time passed fast since we were enjoying visiting so much.
The little boys enjoyed climbing on the tables.
And playing with balls.
Camille announced that she is expecting another baby in March.
We are all very happy to welcome another precious baby into our family.
Janae shows us the dress she ordered to take on her mission.
More visiting.
It was so fun to all be together.
Braden enjoyed playing with his little brothers.
We showed our family the inside of our RV
Janae showse us the shirt that she got from her cast team.
We invited the family to stay for lunch.
We ate at the Zion's Camp pavilion.
It was a great morning with my Hancock grandchildren.
We drove to Palmyra for ice cream.
We planned to get icde cream at the "Chill and Grill" but it ws too crowded and we didn't have time to wasit.
So Robert bought ice creasm for all of us at a grocery store.
In downtown Palmyra there are four different churches sat the Intersection.
We went to the Palmyra Temple ground to eat the ice cram.
We enjoyed all being together.
The ice cream was good.
The families from Boston visited the church historic sites while the rest of us went back for rehearsals and events for the Hill Cumorah Pageant.
Everyone had an ice cream bar.
In the afternoon my Cast Team practiced our song for the Home Evening Variety Show.
We practiced singing and doing the actions.
We are doing some of the same actions that we do in the Pageant processional.
