Visit with Jon and Holly

 One day we drove out to the Cemetery to see Holly's grandparents head stone.
 We then went to the lake by Newton Dam.  The kids played and the dog got wet.

 We also took a hike up toward Wind Cave.  It was a good walk in the woods and the dog liked it.


 Ady and Will are so cute and enjoyed being outside.
 Watching a movie and eating popcorn.  2 very fun things.


Visiting Cami

 We enjoyed a nice visit with Cami, Brian and Kathy.  This is one of the beautiful Amaryllis by the front door to their home in New Jersey.  I loved the flowers, weather, food and of course the people.
 Cami at the dinner table!
 I had a wonderful morning helping Kathy plant some new flowers in her flower garden.

 We spent one night at this cabin in the forest.  It was a nice cabin but the mattresses were hard as rocks and of course it was more fun at Cami's.
 Deer in the back yard.  A bear came through one night and of course we missed seeing it.
 Cami and Kathy at the lake.  I love to swim and just sit there on the beach.  It is one of my favorite places when we visit.

 Pictures of Cami.  She loves it when I take pictures of her!!!!!
 A butterfly that was flying around on the sand.
 Cami's back/side yard.  Lots of flowers and a restful place to be.

June 6, Visit to Golden Spike

We decided to go to Golden Spike, I had never been there before.  It was fun to see the trains and where the railroads joined the east and west.  What a great event that was.

 The guides were great and explained things well.



 Ady and Will loved to pose for their pictures by the trains.


 Crazy kids.  They love to make faces and that makes we laugh so they do it even more.





 Mike and I by the train. 
Jon and crazy Will.

On the way home

We had a nice drive home.  We took a little different route home.  It was a very beautiful drive.  I always like to travel on different roads when we go places.  That is not always possible due to time constraints and the number of times we travel to the same area, but when it is possible, I will usually choose a different route.  Mike is not always happy with this.  He doesn't always like the curved, mountainous roads, and he usually likes to just get there fast!  Here we are in our hotel room.



More pictures from Kylie's baptism.

I finally got a chance to look at all of the pictures we took on the day Kylie got baptized.  Here are a few of them.  We found we didn't get a picture of Kylie's whole family together.  Go figure.  How could that have happened.



 This is me getting ready to go to the church. 
 Kylie looks awesome in the front of the church before the baptism.
