So I forgot to put in a pic of one of my all time, life time favorite activities!!!! TREK!!! I feared it may be too different because we live in a different place, we were going to a different place and just everything was going to be different. Ya know, it wasn't different for one reason, the spirit of the Trek is and will always be the same. The conviction of the pioneers that Jesus in the Christ, their efforts to find a place they could worship and working with all their might, mind and strength to build Zion is the same and that's what makes the Trek so awesome!!! Even if it is the 6th straight Trek! I LOVE Trek and what it means, celebrates and does for those who experience the remembrance of it. We were so grateful to be the parents of 10 trek children! They were the best!

One of the funnest times we had while Summer and Eliana were visiting is when we went up AF canyon (we are so lucky to live 2 MILES from this paradise!) and play in the stream. It's a perfect place with some shallows for the little cousins and some flowing water for the big cousins and shade for the rest of us! It was SO FUN!!
We also had a great outing to the canyon where the quarry for the granite for the Salt Lake Temple came from. It is a spectacular spot too. If there's water to play in, the kids are HAPPY!
Isn't it amazing how much the kids have aged just since this time less than 6 months ago!!!
And I'll end with some Eliana hanging around pictures. It was so fun to have her here!!!
