Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen came to visit us the first part of October and we had a great time. The kids were in school so we could not go and do as many things as normal, but Grandma and Grandpa probably appreciated that because they got to take a little break while there were here.
They were here over Conference Weekend and during that time we had the missionaries come over for dinner between the sessions on Sunday. One of the missionaries (Elder Aguirre, middle with the scriptures open) was in our Ward lived across the street from Sacha in Riveton and graduated from Riverton High School. The other one (Elder Simmons, also in the middle) is from Idaho and his doctor was my mission companion and best man at our wedding, Brett Zundel. One of the missionaries from the Richmond Ward who attends in our building is my 2nd cousin, Elder Hoyt (on the left), and my parents met him for the first time here in Houston. They know his parents, but they had not ever met him. Elder Northcroft is from Washington and we were never able to come-up with a connection to him. But, it really is a small world in the Church.

We took Grandma and Grandpa to the "Turtle Park" to feed the turtles. The kids also needed to get outside and get some energy out.
The turtles going after some bread.
Everyone feeding the turtles.
