July's Journeys!

The month of July has been very busy for us, we are traveling fools. We have been to Whidbey Island twice, Forrest Grove Oregon (Laura and Heidi), Boy Scout Camp in North Washington (Ron and John) and then it was off to Ohio, New York and Canada. We then found ourselves at the Ocean camping with our family and now we are getting ready to set off again to the Oregon coast for a youth conference. All this traveling and vacationing is making me tired! I can hear the sobs and visualize the tears you all have for us even as I write!

Here is a picture of Laura (17) John (13) and a much loved niece Cristina (16) outside the Palymra Temple. It was a beautiful day!

You can see the sacred grove from this place on the temple grounds. All of us had a wonderful time in the Temple - a special experience.

Later that day we had the opportunity to go to the Hill Cummorah Pagent and of course I got a little crazy with the camera but the girls didn't seem to mind having their picture taken with the " HOT" nephites!

John, Cristina and Laura with Sam, Nephi's brother and his little sister!

Laura and John just outside the Sacred Grove, what a peaceful and very beautiful place.

After some Church History sites it was off to Niagara Falls - the Canadian Side , and we even got our passports stamped!

Laura, John and Cristina with the American Falls behind them. It was picture perfect day!


Journey Behind the Falls - a wonderful wet experience!

Behind Rainbow Falls, Canada

After our Canada diversion it was off to Ohio to meet Audrey and Toren in Kirtland!

Then is was off to the Forsberg's in Columbus Ohio for some much needed rest!

We are safely back in Washington and awaiting our next adventure, the return of our son David from the New Mexico Mission on August 20th. I better go and get his room inorder and stop all this traveling!
