Summer Sum-up

Wow, I can't believe school is starting Wednesday! Where has the time gone?? This summer has turned out a bit different then originally planned, but we have had fun none-the-less. Here are a few of the big events from the past month or so...

Trip to Paradise, California - My Grandma Polkinghorne passed away in July. She was 85 and I'm sure is marvelously happy to be reunited with her sweetheart. I braved a 13 hour (each way) road trip with the boys to attend her funeral. I can't tell you how well they did! They were troopers! A few highlights from the trip: Stopping at the Salt Flats, celebrating #2's birthday and swimming in a canal.




A few weeks ago I was called into the YW Presidency. Lucky for me, I was put in just in time to attend Girls Camp! This past week we headed up to Bear Lake for four days and nights of fun. Besides having to rough it in tents, sleep through 40 degree temps at night and stave off misquitos we had a great time.

So that's our summer in a very small nutshell. We are looking forward to all the adventures the coming school year will bring.

I'm so sorry about your grandmother passing away. That generation is quickly leaving us.

Sorry about your grandmother's passing, but glad you guys had a fun trip and the boys were good - that is a LONG drive. Congrats on your new calling - you will be a great leader!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's always so bittersweet.

You will be a wonderful YW leader. I'm so sorry you had to actually camp. I don't know that I could do that.
