Cassidy Fever






We were all so happy that Cassidy was coming for a visit this summer. We hadn't planned on seeing her this summer. Unfortunately, my grandmother died, so Chris and Cassidy came for the wake and the funeral. They flew the red eye Friday night and arrived at my house at 8:00 am Saturday morning. Cassidy never slept on the plane, but she did sleep a little on the car ride to my house. We had a big family dinner Saturday night, what great time we had. My mothers friends Louise and Joe came and told jokes all night. We all were laughing uncontrollably. Well, it was 1:00 am before Cassidy went to sleep. That girls has a crazy amount of energy. She was so well behaved at the wake and the funeral. On Tuesday we went to the beach. That was the same day the seal washed up on shore. Cassidy found a hermit crab and named him dude!! She wanted to bring him to my house so I said okay. That night, at Cassidy's request, we had a going away party for her. She was so happy. We all had so much fun during her visit. I know her being here cheered us all up. She is such a happy sweet smart FUNNY and beautiful girl. I know it sound corny, but every little thing she does amazes me. I find myself starring at her all the time. Well, Wednesday morning it was time to pack and send Cassidy home. We had a lot of tears that morning. We all missed her 2 seconds after she walked out the door. By the way, she talked us into letting Dude go home with her, so I put him in some Tupperware and a Ziploc bag and packed him in her luggage and kept my fingers crossed. Dude made it back to Utah alive!! Unfortunately he only lasted a few days.
P.S. Chirs, we had fun with you and we miss you too!!

Glad you had fun with that crazy daughter of mine (and Chris too). I think she's finally readjusted to life at home (it's not as fun as CT) Loved the picts! Angie
