Kurts family picnic July 10

Kurt and Emily spent some time in Idaho and Utah this week of July.  They visited Emily's relatives in Idaho, dropped Christian off in Logan at EFY, then came to Provo.  Emily had a conference in Salt Lake for a couple of days and Kurt actually had some work in Salt Lake also.  Lindsey had the kids to her house and the cousins had a great time playing together.  Many of us got together for a picnic in Pleasant Grove - food, family and fun!  We celebrated our 53rd Anniversary (July 15th) and Keenyn's 9th birthday! (July 16th)

 Happy Birthday (early) to Keenyn!  Funny story - we had so much good food that Kurt went to throw about a third of this cake in the trash ... a couple of college aged people were playing a game and one of the young ladies saw Kurt and run over to the trash can - asking - "are you throwing that away?  Yes - he said -" can we have it?  Of course!!

 Picnic at Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove.

 Reid and Ruby - two youngest grandchildren - aren't they darling?

 Olivia and Emma - just like our kids when we would come west for a vacation in the summer - the cousins act like best friends and just chat and play and enjoy each other's company!

 Tait and Ruby - splashing in the puddle they made by spilling water!!

 Millie, Sheffield and Ruby.  Sheffield was so social, chatting with everyone.  He asked Eli (age 15) to play with him - Eli being a good sport said yes and they went a little ways away from the picnic tables and laid down in the grass.  I asked Eli later what they were doing and he said: Playing Army games!!

Four of our wonderful chidlren - always love spending time with any and all !!
