Papa's and Emily's Visit

April 24, Wednesday

Dad came into town yesterday morning and Emily got here this afternoon. Dad and I went to lunch at Vito's. Dad, Jonny, and I we picked up Emily at the airport. I made chicken enchiladas for dinner. We cleaned up and read scriptures. We decided to watch a movie together. It took us a while to decide but we finally agreed on Mask of Zorro.

It was so nice to sleep in today. Michael took Andrew and Jonny to school because the car was in the shop. Dad and Emily went to Costa Vida for an early lunch today. 

We left around 12:45 PM to go to Queen Creek High School for the track meet. He didn't have his best race but I'm still proud of him. We stopped at the post office on the way home so I could get stamps for Andrew's graduation cards. They were laughing when I got back to the car because they were making bets on how long it would take me and it only took me about two minutes. We went to an early dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We had a really nice meal together and then went home. 

We read scriptures together. Dad, Michael, and Andrew watched a couple episodes of Masters of the Air. Jonny played Fortnite, Emily did some grading, and I did a few chores. Later, Dad watched the Eras Tour with Emily and Jonny. Emily showed him her favorite parts.

April 27, Saturday

I slept in on Saturday morning. When I got up, Dad and Andrew had already been to Bosa and came back and then left to clean Andrew's car. We all met together and had a prayer and talked about what we would do today. We ended up deciding not to go to the go karts and not to try to go somewhere else but to just get our chores done and see if we could help the Williams family with their move. We were able to help them load up a car, pull some weeds, and bring out some furniture. Then we went back home and got ready and went to lunch at Osaka. 

In the afternoon, we started our Monopoly game. Everybody but Andrew played. He didn't want to and he had to get ready for prom soon anyway. I took a few pictures of him once he was dressed and ready to go and then he left to pick everybody up. Dad and I left at about 6:25 PM to go meet everybody for pictures next to Spinatos. We spent quite a while getting pictures. Their dinner reservation wasn't until 7:30 PM so we had plenty of time. I said my goodbyes to Andrew and we went back home. We finished playing Monopoly, then Daniel went to play his video games. Emily and I watched the latest episode of The Amazing Race. Then it was pretty late and the boys went to bed.

Dad and Emily made it home safely. We had a nice day at church. We came home and ate leftovers and then Emily got packed and ready to go. All the boys came with us to take Emily to the airport. Later, we had family home evening and then we started getting ready for bed.
