Scenes from Utah

SLK with his dad. We had been told he probably wouldn't make it to the reunion since he was just recovering from a bought of pneumonia so it was a delight he attend. He shared fun and interesting stories too.

An evening in Mill Creek Canyon. How many times can I say how much FUN we had together...the emphasis on TOGETHER.

Waiting in line for a ride a Lagoon.

Ooching along an old tree trunk across Mill Creek. You have to remember we'd just come AZ and all this cool, lush greenery and water almost had me in in a state of euphoria.

Just in the gates of Lagoon, not even on a ride yet and the grands enjoyed the fountains. Being a gal of the 60's and poofy hair I enjoyed all from the sidelines.

We love taking the grands to BYU and they love bowling there...and knowing you can take bowling as a college course. Now that's just plain FUN.
On the banks of a creek by Dori's house we found lavender growing. With a little effort and a lot of balance we got her a really large, beautiful bouquet that will dry nicely.

Linny had to work so much and long hours that it was great to finally have her be with us. The grands love their AUNTS!! And the aunts give so much love right back.
More to come. You may have seen most of these photos at my girls blogs but for me, I never get tired of looking at my family. Go figure :)

Happy day from msk

Just a couple of days after I left Oregon I got the news that the adjoining neighbors to Jody's place were surprised with the birth of a llama. No one knew the female was even pregnant. This is even closer to Jody's house than the owners. So darling. Love baby animals.

Just before leaving for Oregon we had a quarterly Primary Activity (the church organization for children ages 3-12). Our theme was, What Do You Do In The Summertime. Well, in Arizona we had to hold this inside. I got to purchase and transport a dozen balloons in the back of my car as part of the decorations. I couldn't see out the back window and had to rely on the side mirrors. It was a fun view to say the least. I took this shot with my trusty cell phone over my shoulder while at a stop light. Guess you don't get the full impact but it was FUN.

Here's darlings Tessa and Owen at Lagoon. They were such buddies and enjoyed the less extreme rides the older cousins were on. Such fun summer memories for me and I really hope for the grands too.

Happy day, msk
