The morning after helping Cristina and Frederico get to the temple, put up, serve at, and clean up their reception.... we headed off to a 3 week road trip. If it had been any other cause, I would have been angry, but it was a step in their eternal progression and I'm so glad that they made it. Jeremy was the most amazing man ever! After I got the food heating up that Cristina made the day before, Jer did everything else so that I could chat with old mission companions that came to the reception. I really do have an amazing and humble husband.
Our first day was a long driving day. We stopped to stretch our legs and have a visit at Martin's Cove. We didn't do the hike into the cove, but we did all the visitor center activities.... including letting the kids pull their own handcarts on a path, touring some buildings that would have been a main part of life at the fort, talking about people that came in the handcarts, etc... It helps that Sam's favorite church movie is 17 miracles. We ran into our friend Kathleen Ririe from our singles ward while we were there. What are the chances?
Robertson Rd.... we had to take a picture.
This brought the phrase 'equally yolked' to mind. I could see that no matter how hard of a worker Sam is, Ada will always take the brunt of the work if they had been paired up like this.
They got halfway around the loop and Seth hopped in the back saying, "Okay! I'm done!" We humored him for a second then had him get out to help Evelyn again.
I loved this. No it's not pretty, but it's a lot like the fireplace built by our great grandfather at Bear Lake. I had fun identifying a lot of the rocks, quartz, petrified wood, mica, etc.... so the missionary there brought out a chart that had all the things labeled. It was neat. There were pieces of mammoth tusks, petrified coral, obsidian, etc...
