Last Trip of the Summer

Kimbre and I made it two for two on family reunions this summer. With everyone spread out between Coeur d' Alene, Moscow, Provo, and Denver my family just sort of met in the middle in Provo. Everyone made it except for my second oldest brother, his wife, and their five kids.

We had a lot of fun hiking straight up the side of American Fork Canyon and going through the Timpanogas Cave. Kimbre didn't even mind the hike (too much). We also spent an afternoon at Temple Square, took the kids to the Gateway Discovery Center in downtwon SLC, and spent a Saturday afternoon at the pool relaxing.

Here is the whole crew at the base of the Timpanogas Cave hike. We're smiling because we haven't started yet. This is everyone except the seven in Denver who couldn't make it and my brother Travis' wife who had school. Yes, everyone got the memo for the matching shirts. Surprisingly, the youngsters and I were able to keep them clean for a whole day.

My first appointment was today. Everything looks good and they said my due date is April 8th! We are excited!

Lake Powell Vacation - 2008

Well, this is our 8th trip to Lake Powell and everything went wonderfully. No breakdowns, no major injuries, and lots of fun in the sun. It took us a while to find the perfect beach and we had a couple of fun times trying to dock the boat - the first of the season is always a train wreck, but we all had a great time, came home exhausted, and will long remember the blessing of watchful angels who guard and guide our paths each day. It's a lot of work to put this together but Sue's amazing and always seems to get it right. With a smaller crew this year, we had some challenges but also shorter lines during meal time ;o).. We realize in the coming years of new babies and conflicting schedules this trip might get pretty lean in terms of family members being able to make it. We hope we can keep it going into the future for many more wonderful memories for our grandchildren.
