Annie at Tuachan...

This week we took a trip down to St. George to soak up some rays at the pool and also see the musical Annie at Tuachan theatre.  I thought this photo of the rainbow was pretty cool...it rained the entire way down to St. George.  Luckily the clouds lifted just as we pulled into our hotel.
I had to mix a little work in with our trip.  Jack thought it was funny to splash me as I was headed out to the hospital.
Sophie took advantage of the 90 degree weather to work on her diving.
Annie was incredible.  The kids are so talented in that production.  If you haven't seen a play at Tuachan you need to check it out!

Genealogy get together...

My cousin Jennifer Young has developed an interest in genealogy.  Last week my parents had everyone over to help Jennifer with some research.  We pulled out old family albums and Jack thought some of the names of our Swedish ancestors were hilarious!
Aunt Peggy (my Dad's sister in foreground) and Sue (my Dad's cousin in the background).
Peggy's boyfriend, Robert, graced us with his presence.  Robert is a storyteller extraordinaire, he possesses a vast repertoire of useless information.  
Jennifer, my cousin, is seated next to her husband Matt.  They are newlyweds but are secure enough in their relationship for Jennifer to call out Matt when he passes gas at the dinner table.
Who said genealogy isn't fun???

Bonneville Shoreline Trail...

My parents just moved to Sandy.  Their house is just a few blocks from the Bonneville shoreline trail.  We go to eat dinner over at their house most Sundays, so at Wendy's suggestion, we have incorporated hikes into our Sunday routine.
I think Wendy has had these green leisure pants since I've known her.  All these years and they still haven't grown on me?
There are some pretty spectacular views from this vantage point.
The mountain streams are just starting to pick up in volume.  It has been such a cool June that there is still quite a bit of snow along the Wasatch front.
