Today started like every Saturday does. :) Breakfast burritos for breakfast. Which, if I haven't mentioned, are very good. Then we went to prayer meeting. It was a little longer this time, about an hour, twenty. After that we normally would have done visitations, but today most of the family and I went to see their grandparents in Estancia, NM. It's about a 2 hour drive. David drove the van. Mrs. McMath studied up front and Rachel, Naomi, Benjamin and I sat in the back. From what I saw of it, the drive was beautiful. Estancia seemed mostly flat with the blue mountains in the background. I think I napped most of the drive though, so I don't know what all of the drive was like. While I napped, the girls read or studied and Benjamin played with my Rubix cube.
When we got there, I met their grandparents and their aunt. Their grandpa is funny. He called me by all the seasons and was sorry that he didn't leave the dishes for me. We have a running joke that the reason the McMaths brought me down is to wash dishes and remind Naomi of stuff. I get the weekends off though. And, if you didn't know, that's only Saturday, not Sunday. Sunday is the beginning of the week. :) The other running joke is that they're going to send me home with a filing cabinet or two, a deer head, an Oryx head, and church pews. So apparently I will need like 5 more seats. :) Oh, then Audri wants to go with me too, but I think we're going to stick her in the filing cabinet, or maybe it's on the church pew now. :) Andrew wondered if they wouldn't pay me for bringing the church pew, so they could fit more people. :) Anyway, we have fun. :D
At grandpa's house we had home made sub sandwiches, German chocolate cake and pecan tort for lunch. We were celebrating grandpa's birthday. Then went through some boxes of stuff that they were going to get rid of and loaded half of it into the van. I found some stuff I liked and they said I could have it as a souvenir. After going through everything, we hung out and talked for a little while. Then we went home. The rest of the evening was spent preparing for tomorrow and just hanging out.
