Fall Recess

During Fall Recess Keith and I decided to travel a little into Idaho and soak in a warm pool. We found a place near Preston, Idaho that has accommodations for the night. You can click on the picture to find out more about this place.

We soaked all afternoon, got out for a light supper, and then soaked all evening. The next day we traveled towards Soda Springs, and Lava Hot Springs. On our way we found Maple Grove Hot Springs.

This in on the way to Maple Grove. We traveled a dirt road for a while. The setting is gorgeous, and pictures don't give it justice.

I grabbed this picture from Maple Grove's Site. Click on the picture to see some amazing photos, and to find out more about them.

On our travel home we listened to conference. We had a nice time together. Every once in while one needs to do that.

A Night at the Races

Keith has wanted to go to Rocky Mountain Races for a loooong time.

So in August, or was it September, we went.

Some guy proposed to his girl friend, she said yes.

It was interesting and a lot of fun.

There were several different kinds of races.

It was a good thing that we brought ear protection along.

It was very noisy.

As usual we had a beautiful sunset.

Thanks, sweetheart for a fun evening.

September Flew By...

While waiting to celebrate Xani-bug's birthday, Opa read to the grandchildren.

I love how Bree is looking in as well. Xanthisa was being held by Great Oma.

Happy Birthday Xanthisa!

Keith and I left for Arizona right after SEPs, Thursday the 24th. When we pulled up to the Kanosh Motel the parking lot was full. Full of four, four wheelers.

After getting a good night's rest we moseyed on down to Kanab - Don't bother to stop at the Three Bear Creamery anymore. They used to have great service and a treat for us sugar free people. Seems they've lost both of those

We arrived late Friday in Phoenix area. After checking in we called the David Widdisons' and dropped in for a quick visit. They next day after breakfast we went back and did some shoe shopping with Zach and his Mom.

Next came the baptism. It was a nice meeting. Our first grandchild, baptized. It doesn't seem that long ago when David was baptized.

Keith forgot a tie and David loaned him a tie. He selected Dirk's plum suit tie.

Steven Landon played for the baptism and came to the house afterwards.

Here he is with his son, Drew.



After all the guests left, we had a little family time. It was nice. Of course it ended up with silliness, but they are cute... even the big one.

We had to leave early the next day, so we could make it back in time for work on Monday.

The visit was extremely short, but nice. Happy Birthday Zach, and congratulations.
