We were so grateful for the perfect weather to welcome Nanny and Papa for their first Rexburg visit. Though our days were still full of wedding prep, which left no time to travel surrounding areas, we were able to get in a few highlights.
Nanny loved the flowers and grounds at the temple and they both enjoyed the peace that is felt in one of my favorite Rexburg spots.
I thought for a minute that the military man in Papa was saluting Moroni but he was just pausing for a pensive look at the temple while shading his eyes from the perfectly clear and shining sky.
At home we played our favorite games, both inspired by LeRoy's Texas upbringing.
It was such a treat to have Louis and Donis visit us from California. With Papa, LeRoy and Louis together, it was a must to play poker but we put our Idaho twist on it and played with Tootsie Rolls instead of money.
Papa taught the boys a true poker face by keeping his expressions serious and hiding his eyes behind shades. In the end, his mischievous grin broke free and he shared his winnings with Hyrum.
I hope that our future includes a sweet, caring relationship like Nanny and Papa have. Many times they were quietly observing how our family functions but I admit, I was also watching them and I love them both even more after this visit.
Cynthia Darlene and Frank Edwards
