My Pictures from Laura's Wedding-Congratulations!



It is really hard to take a picture of the temple when you are this close! It is sooo beautiful.

They had some really fun photographers with lots of good ideas.




Here is a pose just for me.


I had to get a close up of the back of her dress, I thought it was beautiful.

Visit from the Bates

ETHAN
OLIVIA
PHOEBE

REGINA

Here are 4 of my grandkids. They are all growing up so fast. Ethan will be 8 this year. Olivia told me she was going to 1st grade this year. She will be 6 in November. Phoebe turned 4 on August 5th. They went to Bear Lake with Derek's family.
Regina is 16 months and is so cute. She is walking and trying to communicate. She is fun and easy to care for.




We had Phoebe open her present right before bed time. We got her a Sleeping Beauty crown from Disney World. She seemed to be happy to have it.
I enjoyed having them here even though Olivia and Phoebe came down with a 24hr Bug. They slept for one day and were great the next. I enjoyed my talks with Sophia and Derek and will see them again on the way back from Bear Lake.
I love having kids around because they are so honest. It gives me a reality check.
One morning Ethan came to our bed and was talking to us and he looked over at me and said, "You look like and old man with hairs on his chin". HA!HA! Way to start your day.

Road to the Temple


I love to see the Sunrise

I like to get up and go walking in the Summer. I find that If I walk everyday, I stay more flexible and I feel better. These are some pictures of my walk to the Temple.

We pass under this tunnel number 1. And then Tunnel number 2.

We like to go through the tunnels so we don't have to walk on the busy street. Maya comes with me and she loves to jump in the water when there is some.(Usually after the rain.) By this time she is ready for a drink



We usually stop at this Ampitheatre to let Maya run around. I just sit and enjoy the view.

This would be a nice place for Adriaan to have a concert of his music.

At the top of the hill we reach the Temple. Maya and I take off and pick a different route everyday or so. Today she wanted to lead the way, this is our favorite route.

Animal Kingdom

I really liked our day at Animal Kingdom.

It was a nice day and this park has lots of shade everywhere.

My first ride was the Forbidden Mountain behind Roel. I screamed like a Banshee when he took me on that ride. The Yeti really scarred me.

I loved the Kilimanjaro Safaris.




Everything was so open and we could see the animals so close.





They told us later that day that they close the ride at 7:00 pm because that is when the animals hunt and no one should be in there. This is when they feed them too.
