So much fun the second time around.....

I think by the time Emma came around I had been to every pumpkin patch/corn maze 100 times or so it seemed and quite honestly by the end, they aren't quite as fun as at first. But, taking Lily felt totally like the first time all over again-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MOAB....breathtaking-beautiful!

We had a great time visiting the kids in Utah and attending General Conference. I never grow tired of that experience. We then headed down to southern Utah for a few days of hiking Arches National Park and soaking in the beauty of the surrounding area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Perfect Morning

 

 

 

 

 

Marine Biologists at work....

 

 

 

The girls have always loved getting up early with their dad before there are too many people awake and the coast is still blanketed in fog and going "tide pooling". Though they are grown up, there is still the excitement of discovery and the facination with marine life.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

 

What a lovely time we had celebrating my dad's 77th birthday. We took a beautiful boat ride along the Delta and anchored to enjoy a picnic dinner while we watched the sunset....I love spending time with my parents. They inspire me as they have continued to fill their lives with learning, travel, serving, and enjoying the blessings of every day.

Can you have too many fresh flowers in your house at one time????

Israel, Israel God is Calling....

Last night Megan presented a beautiful fireside to the youth and others on her experiences in Israel. She filled our family room with some very choice things she learned and experiences she had there. With each one she reminded us all how with what we know and what we have experienced, we can never be the same.
