An evening in Cochrane.

While up in Canada we were able to go to Cochrane and see my Grandma Leavitt. I was really excited to see her since it has been so long! I absolutely love going to her house because it is such a cool and beautiful place. Her house is just full of interesting things, it is almost like a museum, you could just spend hours looking at everything on the walls and around the house. She has so many collections! The house is on a farm located in a very beautiful part of the country! I love being there. For dessert Grandma Leavitt made these amazing homemade donuts... they were... indescribably amazing! SO GOOD! It was a great night of conversation and enjoying each others company.... and getting a massive sugar high on these homemade donuts!

(I made sure to get the recipe from her! They are SO amazing!)

(Just part of her candle stick collection. She had some that were as tall as an 8 year old!)
(Part of her amazing spoon collection)

Grandma has an extremely large bush running down a fence of Lilacs. They are gorgeous! She cut me some to take home with me :)

I made them into a bouquet haha

The Leavitt's (minus Alex and Ben)

At one point Hayley just started doing this hilarious spinning thing. It totally reminded me of our dog Bridget who use to do this to scratch her butt. hahaha she is hilarious :) I love her. Enjoy.
