Girls Camp Rapelling/Kayaking with Little Valley 2nd Ward

Dan was asked to help with our Ward Young Women's Girls' Camp. I tagged along and we helped with the rappelling and kayaking. It was held in one of my favorite places...Kolab! 

Father's Day in Logan

I'm not usually around to spend Father's Day with my Dad; but this year it worked out! He's the best!

We had dinner out at Scott and Jessie's home in Smithfield.

Ryan and Cari Utah Reception

Rebecca and Matthew also got married this year.

Ryan Gardner, son of Ray and Cathy Flake, married Cari Conlin in the Oakland Temple. Dawson was able to go out to the wedding and then met dad and the scouts in Yosemite. I was able to attend Ryan and Cari's open house in Provo. Beautiful couple.

Eagle Scout Yosemite Trip

Our ward had like 25 Life Scouts at the beginning of the year. Dan and the Young Men wanted to encourage them to finish up and earn their Eagle awards. So they came up with the idea to offer a trip to Yosemite to all those who earned their Eagle Scout awards this year. We made a slide show and presented the plan to the scouts and parents at the beginning of the year. The boys were excited and Dan worked with the BLM and Park service people to come up with lots of ideas that the boys could use for projects. The boys bought into it and Dan worked along with them and many leaders and parents to do some 20 or so Eagle projects this year.

Dan was a Life Scout and never quite received his Eagle Award as a boy. I believe that helping that many boys earn their awards is worth him receiving an honorary Eagle Award! He has probably helped at least another 30 earn theirs over the years. He also helped Trent Saaralainen in a neighboring ward earn his this year.

Dawson went out to Oakland with Uncle Ray and family to Ryan's wedding in the Oakland temple the weekend before. Ray's family brought Dawson down to Yosemite and stayed a night before the rest of the boys from St. George met up with them on Wednesday. Looks like they had a great time.

Fun Park City Sisters Weekend

Jill, Julie and Heather came up to Park City and stayed in the Marriott condo with me after my Utah CTE Business conference. We had a nice time hiking and riding the Alpine Slide. I love my sisters and Park City in the Summer!

Memorial Day Work Getaway

 Dan had some mailboxes to do in Midway and Heber City so he, Dawson and I left after church on Sunday. We camped in the Wasatch State park right next to the beautiful river.

 While they worked on Tuesday, I went for a nice hike up the canyon along the river.

 I sat here and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Midway valley below

 Danielle, Steve and kids came up Tuesday morning because they had spent Memorial Day weekend in Orem with Steve's family. We had lunch together and then watched Dad and Dawson work a bit. This beautiful meadow was right above where they were working. Alexa and I took photos.

 Alexa is a great photographer for a three year old.

 And she is pretty darn cute!

The trail kept going so I kept hiking until I came to this sign that said "Trail End".

We had Darrell and Eve and Breanna and Tom and Meagan up from Provo for a Memorial Day BBQ.
