A Visit From South Carolina II

We stopped at one of the local road side stands to buy some pumpkins for carving. It was a beautiful day and the produce was awesome!

 

 

 

              

 

 

 

We picked out the best pumpkins and took them home to carve up.

 

 

 



A Visit From South Carolina I

Pam and Brent came to spend a week with us at the beginning of October. We visited the Temple, stopped at a roadside fruit stand, had several road trips around Brigham and Ogden and up into the mountains. We even made a trip down to Moab to Arches National Park. It was a great visit and we can't wait to see them again!

 

         

 

On to the mountains!

 

 

 

 



Lance's Raingutter Regatta

On September 26 Lance participated in the Boy Scouts Rain Gutter Regatta. He and Chad worked on his boat over the course of a few days and really enjoyed themselves.

 

Although he didn't win any of his laps, he had fun and did get the certificate for Best of Show!

 



The Brigham City Harvest of Faith Celebration Pt. 2

Now we enter the more modern age of Brigham City.  The Bushnell General Military Hospital was opened in Brigham in 1942.

 

We moved into big bands and WWII.

 

 Next we covered the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge just north of Brigham. In 1928 Congress passed and act to make the Bear River Delta a National Wildlife Refuge. This was the prettiest part of the program and the best dancers and gymnasts were chosen for this part.

 



 

Next they sang about the major corporations in the area. It was sung to the tune from 'Do As I'm Doing' and it was alot of fun!

 

Nucor!!

Then they talked about the 350 missionaries that are serving from this area and they brought up some of the families with missionaries out in the field.

A huge parade of flags from around the world!

In closing all 4000 kids sang 'I Love To See The Temple' as pictures of our new temple played on the screen. It was overwhelming and beautiful. A really wonderful night and we were so proud of Grey!

 

My mom, Chad, Grey and Lance got to attend the broadcast of the temple dedication this morning. Our new temple district now covers Box Elder County in Utah and Oneida County in southern Idaho. 4,000 of the 4,594 young people in these counties participated in this event.
