We were in Jackson Hole, and Teton National Park. The drive past the majestic Tetons was impressive. We stayed in Jackson last night and enjoyed the town: walking, shopping, eating.

We drove into Yellowstone National Park, walked around, read in our books, took pictures and marveled at Old Faithful Geyser. We enjoyed seeing buffalo and deer but were disappointed not seeing a bear.

We forgot our passports which we need to enter Canada in two days. We called Debbie and she is forwarding them overnight mail to Kalispel, Montana.

Rainy Day at "This Is The Place"

Today we took Preston and Katerina to "This Is the Place" Pioneer Park. Jon Huntsman paid with free admission and free ice cream. We rode the train around the park. Visited several buildings but the rain became too much of a hinderance so we left. We did have a nice time.

Hogle Zoo Adventure; Wednesday June 9th, 2010

We went to the Zoo Wednesday and found it delightful. Larry and I took Preston and Katerina. We saw elephants, rhinos, giraffes, rode the train and the carousel. I great day.

Memorial Day 2010

Larry and I spend a wonderful day playing. We visited Thanksgiving Gardens seeing the 55 acres in a golf cart. We ate on the terrace under an umbrella overlooking the Gardens. For dinner we had Texas Ribs in American Fork then went to a movie that night at Gateway in Salt Lake.

Ashley's high school graduation.

Karl G. Maeser Preparatory High School in American Fork,Utah. Ashley looked wonderful. Because of her high academics she wore a gold tassel around her neck. She will enter BYU this year as a freshman.

After the graduations ceremonies we took Vaughn, Holly and Ashley to a nice restaurant near the Alpine Tabernacle where the graduations ceremonies were held.

This is Memorial Day Weekend and Vaughn's family is leaving today for their Bear Lake Retreat.

Snow in May

I awoke to snow and it is May 24th. I rushed out to cover my tender tomato plants and the herbs I have been growing.

My gospel doctrine lesson yesterday was on the Book of Ruth and Chapter one of 1 Samuel regarding Hannah. The people in these chapters are righteous and willing to do all that the Lord requires. Larry talked about Hesed and Paris Sorbonne talked about virtue.

Elementary school is about to end. Preston and Katerina will be enrolled in a summer school, along with swimming lessons at Steiner Aquatics. Preston is taking piano lessons and will take golf lessons for two weeks in June. The children will be busy.

Next week Ashley is graduating from high school and will attend BYU. We are planning to go to her graduation in American Fork. She has done well in academics and received a scholarship.

We have been asked to co-chair a summer Carnival Party for our neighborhood. We have a lot of help from wonderful neighbors.
