Lower Falls

At the Basalt Cemetery where Dad's great-grandparents, grandparents,
mom, and some siblings are buried

Where Dad lived for the first 6 years of his life in Basalt - his
mom was Postmistress, store owner, and sheriff/dog catcher of Basalt!

Dad is on a bridge that his step-father, Lester, built - the bridge
leads to where their 40-acre farm used to be where Dad lived until
he moved to San Diego with a sister to finish high school.  He used
to help hang buckets of milk over the edge of this bridge to keep it
cool until the milk trucks would come pick them up.

We stopped by my mission companion's wedding
reception in Fruit Heights on our way home from Idaho

Megan is enjoying her cute baby cousin after we went with
Eddie's family to a concert at a Lehi park

Nice horses right beside Stephanie's house - the kids had fun on the
swings and trampoline beside the horses

My cousin and his family stopped by Stephanie's house to
say "hi" on their way through town

Dad with his sisters - we all had lunch together in Payson

It was so great to see our sweet relatives and enjoy lunch together!
