DOUG, MEG, & HEIDI COME FOR A VISIT!

HOORAY!! family came visiting. Doug and Megan and their family are some of the sweetest people in the world and is was so fun to have them visit. we had a great week. We snuck in a few hours with them here and there and loved every minute. Megan, Heidi and Doug at the mission home
Mark and I with his brother Doug and Megan
We visited the temple and the visitor's center. When we went in, it was cloudy and the sky was white. When we came out it was so incredibly blue. Isn't this just gorgeous?
Before we went in the visitor center.

Heidi and her friend at the Mission Home Fireside. Amazingly she knew this other girl who was here for school and taking the lessons. small world.

Dinner with the Assistants at the mission home.

President Albright's brother, Doug and his wife and daughter came and spent a week at the mission home. It was delightful. They spent each day doing tourist things and we tagged along when we could break away. We had so much fun. We were able to visit the National Cathedral and some of the memorials on one afternoon. And we spent Wednesday at Ford's Theatre and the Spy Museum. Both were fascinating and sites we haven't been to since we arrived in DC. But mostly we just loved spending time with family and laughing and hearing about home. Thanks for the visit.
