Hillary and Liz!

My Mother and Sister in Law got to spend a week with us!  It was so fun to have them visit.

The first day they were here I took them to one of my favorite restaurants, Malawi’s at the Riverwoods!  

We enjoyed some divine savory and dessert pizzas. 

After lunch we went shopping at the mall.  Liz and Hillary came home with some adorable shoes! 

Next day

Discovery Museum

While Hillary and Liz spent time indexing at the Church Family History Library, I took Charlie to the Discovery Museum so he could play.

Charlie loved these ginormous soft dominos!

How old are you, 5!

After the Discovery Museum we went and picked up Liz and Hillary and had lunch at the Bee Hive House!

We then went on a tour!  Here is a bronze bust of Brigham Young; Charlie insisted of getting a picture next to it!

I had such a fascination with the beautiful light fixtures!   They just don’t make things like they used to.

Look at the detail; oh the craftsmanship!

The stately rooms decorated in the finest furnishings possible!  Satin tapestries, velvet upholstery and gilded picture frames!

The Sister missionaries that Charlie was quite smitten with!  Especially the blond Sister from France.
