The end of summer can only mean one thing here in Provo, it's time for Target to be overrun with herds of teary-eyed mothers with their college age children, scooters to run rampant around the streets, and good ol' BYU is back in session. Strangely enough, no one in this house is going back to school this year. Kind of a crazy realization. However it does mean that Riley is back in town and ready to party! This year the whole Myer family joined in on the "bring Riley back to school and spend as much time as humanly possible with Ryder man" adventure. Living a few states away makes these trips so much fun and I was sad when the week was up and everyone had to go home to real life. At least while they were here, we had a blast and Ryder man was smothered with all sorts of love.
Last Wednesday we spent the afternoon floating the Provo River (thanks to the beautiful Jacie Saltzman for watching Ryder!) and then all drove up to Primary Children's Medical Center to visit our good friend Porter Thorkelson. This past spring
Porter was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma and has been going through chemo all summer. A few weeks ago Porter had his right leg amputated below the knee and will continue to have chemo for a few more months. It was great to see Tati, Mary Ann, and Porter. Even though Porter wasn't feeling that great, he was a good sport to entertain visitors and play with Ryderman. After a visit to the hospital, we went to try out the infamous pizza place right down the street from the hospital, The Pie. It was delicious and well worth the wait!
Luke had a slight fish hooking accident that required a quick, late night trip to the ER. Boys will be boys.
My family stayed in the Marriott Residence Inn that is less than half a mile from our house and we took advantage of the indoor swimming pool. Ryderman is all water baby as long as you don't put him on his back. He was loving some quality swimming time, plus he's so cute in his swim trunks!
We love when family comes to visit!
