A few weeks after school let out the Dahlke family hit the road. We had many places to see and we decided to begin with my Grandma Gray. We drove North to Nebraska (about 14 hours) and stayed the night in a hotel. The next day we headed west through Wyoming and by that night we were in Salt Lake City, UT and at Grandma's house. Within 10 minutes of arriving, my Boy Scouts had a couple of tents set up in the back yard, very impressive! Our plan was to stay in Salt Lake for several days, but had received a phone call during the drive informing us that Trent's Grandma Bowles had passed away. Therefore, we needed cut our visit short in order to get to California for the funeral. It's alway fun to visit with family. I love being able to take my kids places that I used to visit with my family when I was young. Grandma has a little park behind her house that I used to love to play in. Now my kids enjoy spending time in the same park.
My Grandma is a neat lady and I'm so glad my kids are able to get to know her. The Sunday before we left we had a big family barbeque so we could visit with much of my extended family. We live far away, but I'm grateful we get to see everyone at least a few times a decade;)

  1. I remember going to visit your grandma with you while we were in college. That's awesome that you're kids are able to spend time with her and get to know her---she's always been special to you. BTW: Impressive scouting skills!
