Scones and Bonfire

I'm pretty sure that we have the greatest, most friendly ward in the world. I look forward to activities with ward members, we always have such a fun time.
Tonight we had a scone fest in the mountains up above Jezak's house. It was quite an adventure hiking up, but once we got there we found that it was definitely worth the trip! They had leveled out a beautiful spot and built a huge fire pit. From this spot we could see the entire city. It was incredible.
It has been rumored that Kim is the "Scone Master" so we put him to the test. He hauled his camp chef stove and dutch ovens up the mountain and then proceeded to fry up scone after scone. He did not let us down, each scone was perfectly cooked, not the least bit doughy, and fried to a beautiful golden brown. He is the Master!

We had a good crowd make the hike and we enjoyed scones, Stephen's hot chocolate, and an enormous bonfire. It was so relaxing. Over the popping of the embers you could hear several conversations going at once and frequently the sound of laughter filled the air.










Good job, elders!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile.

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
