catch up

Today is such a nice sunny day and it is October 18th 2011,

We have had a fabulous Fall this year!
John and I were able to take two mini vacations with friends this past month.
First we went with Mike and Linda Smith to Island Park. We rented a cabin
for three nights. We were able to go to the Lewis and Clark Caverns, and
It was even warm enough to float the river below the dam. We soaked
in the hot tub, we watched movies and had a very nice relaxing time.
Didn't see much in the way of wild life but it was so nice and the trees were changing
colors, so the drive was beautiful. We went home thru The Grand Tetons and Jackson,
to add variety to the trip.

The next trip was over Conference weekend. We went to Island park also.
This time we went with our friends Dennis and Peggy Mecham, Janice and Don Carlson
and Keith and Riva (can't remember their last name.) We stayed in Dennis's brother
inlaw Chad Buttars cabin. It was very nice and roomy and very enjoyable. There was a big screen TV to watch conference. We borrowed Doug's 4 wheeler and picked up one on
the way. Janice's brother offered for us to use his 4 wheeler, so all 4 couples had a 4 wheeler..
WE had fun riding the trails around Island Park, we rode up to Sawtell which is the big golf ball looking thing up in the top of the mountain. It is used for the Northwest Air traffic control of some type. This is what we were told. We had a fabulous time.
The two newest grand babies(Jake Logan and Mattix Jack) were blessed fast Sunday after conference. Emily and Jay and Boys came for a visit also for the occasion. It was nice to have them come. I can't believe Zach is a Senior this year! My how time flies. All of Emily and Jays boys have the Aaronic Priesthood now. They are not our little grandsons anymore! They are growing into fine young adults.
Lisa and I are going to Marla's on Friday. We are meeting with Debbie and Grandma Whiting, all to have a fun day of visiting and crafting.
I sure wish I had some pictures to share, I can't find my camera charger. Lame I know! I am not very good about taking pictures anyway.
