Fun with Pepper

My cutie of a little sis (who I affectionately call "Pepper") came to Buffalo for several days last week. I loved it.

We stayed busy:

Drive-in! The movie was terrible (G-Force...talking guinea pig CIA agents...what were we thinking?!?) but the atmosphere was awesome. Tons of shooting stars!

Thanks, Tiff and Creed, for letting us borrow the truck!

Thanks, Ryan, for putting the air mattress in the back and letting the sisters snuggle as you drove!

Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario...

All dressed up to see a play.

We were at least 40 years younger than everyone else in the audience...no joke!

Laura is quite impressed by Ryan's huge guns.

Niagara Falls...

Aren't we lovely?

Maybe not.

Palmyra, New York...

Outside the Mormon temple

Laura in the Sacred Grove, a historical site for our church

Shakespeare in the Park!

I miss you, Pep! Come back soon!

P.S. Laura was not the only cute person who visited me last week...stay tuned!

I MISS YOU!!! I still haven't gotten the energy to blog about the trip--do you ever find blogging exhausting?

Love you!
