Summer Fun

We went to a tropical island paradise this last weekend and took this incredible sunset photo---we didn't have to go far to have an incredible view. The Secret tropical paradise location.....Antelope Island. Well it really isn't tropical more like desert, but watching this remarkable sunset over the lake makes you feel like you are in a romantic tropical location. We had a great time. We swam or should I say floated in the Great Salt Lake. It was incredible--you really don't sink!!! We had so much fun floating around.

We took a little road trip up north and went to Promontory Point. (The famous spot where the Union Pacific RailRoad met the Central Pacific RailRoad completely the railroad system across the United States). It was a really neat place. They did a reenactment of the actual event and David was chosen out of the audience to be one of the people that drove down the Golden Spike. It was a fun learning experience.

We went with the youth of our ward to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open house in South Jordan Utah. The Temple is beautiful. We are grateful to have been able to go and participate in such an occasion. We are grateful for temples and are excited to have this new temple in our midst.

We went to David's summer work party at "Hillbilly Ranch" (a cabin near Causey Reservoir). It was a lot of fun. We ran in a gunny sack and three-legged race and well, we lost. It was all fun and games until.....well, somehow I went "bam!" right on the ground and landed on my elbow. I got a very large bruise. It was so bad I had to go get it x-rayed. It wasn't broken--thank goodness--just really banged up. We had a great time!

We are on the far left and you can tell we aren't winning.....
