Visiting Grandma Pau in August 2018

This summer, Nicole, Victoria, Lizzie, Josiah, Jeri and Tim flew to the Midwest to visit family. We started our trip by waking at 3:00 AM for an early morning trip to LAX. We flew non-stop to Des Moines. After spending a night with Grandma Stogdill, we drove our rented SUV (a Kia Sorrento) to Moline, Illinois to visit Grandma Pau.

Most of the time, we just hung around the house. We would watch Wheel of Fortune in the evenings. We (especially Tim) helped sort through stuff.

We worked (but never finished) a tortuous 1000-piece puzzle.

Josiah still found time to create new things. He turned a model plane launcher that was nearly 50-years old into a dart launcher.

Grandma made a lot of yummy food including sushi.

We really liked the vegetarian sushi that Grandma made for us.
