BIG CATCH AT CABELA'S

Dear Family,

The summer is slipping by so fast. We have had a very busy July with family events. We have had all sorts of visits and sleepover by families underway.

James and William are here from Michigan. They came on a train with their other grandparents who are touring southern Utah. It is so fun to have them here again. They have grown taller and are just as bright. I guess moving to that little farm in Michigan has been a good thing for them. James is still pondering whether he likes it or not. They recently posted a picture of a fish they caught in their pong on the farm.

Well, I had to take them to Cabela's again. I like taking the grand kids there and it turns out it is one of the most visited places in Utah, at one time second only to the visits on Temple Square. We drive down to the Point of the Mountain and take the first exit off I15 and we are there.

Cabelas has tons of cool stuff; all the mounts, the full mount diaramas, cool hunting and fishing equipment, a well stocked aquarium and a laser shooting gallery. James and William did well there and had fun. We topped it off with a Bison Bratwurst.

On the way out, I saw this huge fish pillow which reminded me of the fish the boys were catching back in Michigan and bought it for the girls on the farm. Nice catch guys!

We go to Colorado next week to visit Roy and his family and attend Adam's baptism, I love going over there and this will be a great moment.

We had another great moment in the Salt Lake Temple last week. Mom and I were in a session and as I stood up in front, I saw several of the family who came. Mike came from Mapleton, Mary was there, Doug, Cheryl and Paul and Cathy as well. We were all together and it was one of those really sweet moments in the family.

We plan to be at Bear Lake over the Labor Day Holiday.

Love you all, Mom and Dad
