Family History trip

 

Jer asked Judy about a year ago if she could show us around family history in Southern Utah.  It finally found a time that would work for all of us and we got to take Joe with us too. The pictures of the first day posted upside down, but here are some of my favorite ones.  My favorite two things were visiting Diane and Errol and swimming in the spring that Grandma loved.  Jer loved climbing in the Nevada state park.

We also got to drive by one of the mines that Judy's Dad worked in.  It was closed so we couldn't tour it, but it was neat anyways.

After visiting with Errol, we drove over to explore Cathedral Cliffs and have lunch.  All the kids said they would love to come back and come early enough to explore before it gets hot.

Our first stop into town was 9 mile rock.  This one was important because it's where Judy's awesome youth group would get together for hanging out and testimony meetings.  They would joke that the girls needed the guys to cook otherwise they would starve, so the girls got together and as a joke, brought tv dinners to cook in the fire... besides the sand that ended up in them, it was a great joke.  It's also the area that grandma's family would cut down their Christmas tree and the road that the pioneers used to get to the St George temple.

Just as I'm diving into another round of pictures, I realized that I didn't finish Bear Lake or the last week or so.  I still have a couple of pictures of Sharon's family to edit, but since I switched user accounts on my computer I didn't have access to my editing software and have to get that straightened out.

I love these people!

Seth was very proud that his aluminum boat held more pennies than anyone else's in his class.  I think that it was 59.

They were tasked by grandpa to make the fire for dinner.  They were thrilled.

Seth learned how to mow the lawn for the first time.  He was both excited to learn something new and didn't want to because, "Then Dad will make me do it at home."  He thought it was funny how your hands vibrate when you push the mower.

Seth is my skipping rock buddy.

This week I took Ada and Evelyn in to get new glasses.... they should have them in about a week.

Seth has a 1st grade reading buddy.  I love that the older kids get to read with the younger ones.  Seth's reading buddy is on the lower skill set, so Beth has been giving him ideas on how to read with him well.

Seth's class also made balloon cars. Seth's group of three people won their class competition with it, and then won the school competition too. Seth says that they would have gotten second but the first place winner was knocked off course by another car.

Seth had a Harry Potter day at school
