More from Alaska!
The girls especially enjoyed learning about sled dogs
and holding these baby puppies...
...and regular puppies!
From the bus they saw this moose.
And from the airplane ride they took they got to see Denali without clouds!
Family in front of the aircraft:
Zipline fun!
And even a helicopter ride...
...that included landing on a glacier!
John and Aubrey went on a hike.
They saw a beaver dam and a moose and her calf!
Feeding bears at the Anchorage Zoo at the end of the trip.
Back at home they were pleased to pick all these strawberries from their garden!
After Kathryn received her mission call,
Darryl went online to FaceBook to see if there was a group for the mission.
First picture he saw showed someone he knew.
Josh served in that same mission in the mid 1990's!
Employee Appreciation party on the farm.
Kathryn and Amanda did face painting.
The younger boys had fun running around and eating.
Michael's final tally: 4 cotton candy's, 5 ice cream bars,
2 bags of popcorn, 2 bags of chips, lunch and 2 cans of soda!
The latest things Camille has made with her crocheting talent!
Camille also volunteers at the library with some friends.
I think this was "quiet giggling!"
Swim meet at Rock River Rapids for both girls.
Nathaniel is loved by this sister that Amanda visits for ministering.
She has vertigo and is pretty much homebound.
I know I always love a visit from Nathaniel!
Nathaniel played Jack and the Beanstalk for us on the piano!
We had a fun visit from the Melanchuks on Saturday, June 8th,
first day of summer vacation for the kids.
Forgot to take a picture while they were here
so I asked them to take a selfie on the way home.
Excellent shot!
We did get one picture actually.
Everyone wanted to try the ice machine.
This time it's Amelia's turn.
Jacob gave his first talk in Sacrament meeting on the 9th.
We watched on Zoom.
We could hear him really well
and we were glad to got to see some of him too!
Heidi, Sarah and Camille will be arriving home tonight
from a stake Youth Conference in Nauvoo!
They were very busy but Heidi got a shot of each of them.
Heidi went to help with the food for the
approximately 150 youth and 30-40 adults.
The house where Heidi stayed. It was built in the 1800's.
Trail of Hope, Nauvoo temple and visiting restored Nauvoo
and Carthage Jail were just some of the activities.
Here they are after dinner and after a very hot day.
Why don't I look that good at the end of the day?
Daniel and Michael went to a YM Encampment
so Kathryn, Amelia and
Nathaniel got to go out on the boat.
Hannah, Joshua and David came over after the baptistry
this past Wednesday. We got to talking about our family reunions
and Hannah could remember some Minute To Win It activities
at one of our reunions. Turns out it was in 2010
when we stayed at a hotel in Sandy, Utah.
In particular they remembered this activity with Oreos
and it wasn't long before the boys had to try it too!
Today we had Golden Oreos!
And finally to finish out the first half of June,
I need to give a shout out to my sister, Kathy,
who has been my Marco Polo buddy
through the ups and downs of our lives.
Here I am telling her the great news
that I got from my Physical Therapist on Friday.
She said I am making very good progress!!
