Mostly about Utah
Saturday we had family over for a meal. Afterwards we set off a few fireworks in daylight so that Bryson and Aurora wouldn't be frightened of them. Steven lit one of the racing car fireworks which got too close to Adelaide and Aurora. It frightened Aurora, so before Steven lit the next firework, Adelaide moved herself and Aurora to the opposite end of the patio and sat between me and Jake. Now that … [Read more...]
On Monday, for a view of the Salt Lake Valley, we hiked to The Living Room. We relaxed in sandstone chairs with armrests. There were even coffee tables we parked our feet on. The hike takes about two hours (it took us longer). It is considered easy (it isn't). Trail length is 2.3 miles (seemed like 5 miles). Here are some photographs of our hike. Click on the images to enlarge. Left … [Read more...]
Derek and Sarah arrived Saturday afternoon and both their families moved quickly to unload. Four of Derek's brothers and three of Sarah's helped along with parents and other family. While the bulk of their possessions are stored with Steven and Adelaide they will be staying with Kari and Linda. After all was safely gathered in we went to work eating pizza and dessert. It is surprising how much pizza … [Read more...]

That's Adelaide holding Aurora who soon will have a little … [Read more...]

Yesterday she stopped by to bring her Dad so that he could watch the priesthood session of conference with his dad and brothers. The interesting thing about the priesthood session is … [Read more...]

This evening we took family photographs. The light was fading and it wasn't enough to avoid some really rickety photographs from my camera. Fortunately Mark was the professional photographer today and in a little while we will have the real photographs. In the meantime mine will have to do. Mark's wife, Connie, still got some good pictures with my Canon and it is her efforts on display. There are a … [Read more...]
