SUMMER: 4 mini vacations in 3 weeks!

Once again, Daron planned a fabulous family trip! 3 fun-filled weeks of driving in the car together... we finished a 5-novel "The Children of the Promise" books on tape set. A yummy meal at the Big Texan in Amarillo kicked off our adventure!

Saw Steve & Marla, Elder Sterling Boyd, Aunt Margaret & Bob, Temple square, kids had an awesome week at EFY, backstage Studio C tour, then home thru Arches National Pk in Moab. So sad to leave the beautiful mountains and crisp fresh air behind!
