Timp Cave

Last Friday when the kids were out of school we decided to hike to Timpanogos Cave with Grandma, Grandpa and Megan. It had been years since we'd done it. Scott had only vague memories, and Kevin and Matt had never been. It was a gorgeous day, the canyon was beautiful, and we went early so it was nice and cool.

The kids and their ghost friend inside the cave. Scott told me to pretend this picture was on purpose, but actually my camera was on a goofy setting, and it was too dark to mess with it too much, so I didn't get any great pictures inside the cave.

All of us at the exit.

Pretty fall colors. What a nice way to spend the morning.

Choosing Happiness

John's family and spouses at his sister Kim's wedding to a wonderful man, Lonnie B. Lonnie's wife died just over a year ago. Between them they have 17 children. 100 people barely fit into the largest sealing room in the Salt Lake temple while Elder Robert D. Hales performed a beautiful, simple marriage ceremony, commenting that he was deliberately leaving out the usual admonition about multiplying and replenishing the earth. It was very sweet ceremony and feelings were very tender especially when Kim embraced Kelly's sweet mother who sat beside Anne, Kim's mom, at the head of the room. After the ceremony they had a wedding dinner at the Grand America Hotel. They wanted to keep it small, so only about 300 of their closest friends and family were there. :) I think they know everyone in Davis County if not the state. It was a very nice evening.

Home for the Weekend

I'm new at the whole kids-moving-out experience, but I discovered this weekend something that I like about it. Sometimes they come home to visit!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend with Camille. It felt so good to have her home and to set the table for 6 today!
