Trips home spring/summer 23

May 2023

Ethan graduated from Polaris high school. So proud of him!
Weston graduated from Provo high that same night but I didn’t get to go to that. We had a party for both of them at Gary’s clubhouse so I at least got to wish him well.
Got to to see my sweet sis for a little scone.
Took some photos of Weston for his graduation announcement on an earlier trip
Cool light saber hilt that he built

I got to do baptisms at the Provo temple. This was an extremely tough time for the family so it was wonderful to get some peace.

2-14 June Drove home this time so that I could bring Ace. He won’t pass the smog check in Cali so he’s going to live out his days in Utah where he passed inspection. What a car! 405000 miles and counting!

Visited the California Citrus state park on the way.
Beautiful! And smells so good!
Redlands temple
Fun little Route 66 museum. Dave would love it!
Pretty proud of this shot 😊

The next day Gary’s fam came down and we rented a paddle boat,
Stand up paddle boards,
and a canoe. Tam, Mark, Whit, and Andre came for the afternoon!
At about 4 the wind started up in earnest so we had to get off the lake. We played Phase 10 while holding our cards down.
Jul had personal ice cream makings for dessert.
So beautiful at sunset!
This is the best campsite in the place! #27. Right on the lake. You have to just request it day of.
