This is some of the Square Dance group we danced with.
This is our little "tent city".
We had quite the camp out this week. The ward wanted to go camping so we lined it up to go to Laird Park. Mom, Lacey, Weston and I left home at 2:00pm and when we arrived at Laird Park the whole park was full. The caretaker lady said it was the first weekend they had been full all year. So now what do we do. Mom suggested we drive back to that private campground a couple of miles back toward Harvard. When we got there they were full too but the guy said if you want you can pitch your tents in these pine trees with all this lawn in front of them. What an ideal spot. We had five families camping and two more came just for the evening. It actually worked out better than Laird Park would have been. We knew that our neighbor Joan (across the street) was going to be there with her square dance group. I went over and visited with her and she asked if we wanted to try square dancing. So, after supper we went over to the "pavilion" and the caller invited all the "LDS married youth group" to join in. We all did and had a great time. After the dancing we all (they and we) sat around the camp fire and talked about what it was like back when us old people were kids. We all agreed we had a better time than if we had been at Laird Park. We came home about noon but several families went back to Laird Park and went swimming in the sub-arctic water.
We are now busy getting ready for our trip. We are still planning to leave Wednesday morning and drive to somewhere just short of Yellowstone. Thursday we will go through the park and see Old Faithful and then go on to Cody. We will tour the museums for as long as we can stand and then head for Denver. We hope to arrive sometime Friday night at Erik and Jamie's. We will attend the baptism on Saturday and the blessing on Sunday among other activities. We plan to visit Monday and Tuesday and then sometime Wednesday we will head for Provo. We will stay there Thursday and Friday and then come home on Saturday. We hope to visit from house to house and stay with Erik and Jamie and Brant and Leslie. Kevin and Lisa with have her family there so we will probably just visit with them.
That's it for now. See you soon.

I spy an alligator wearing a smoking jacket, being kissed on the head by an angel. I also spy a profile of a face and the face of a child on the alligator's arm. I've been spying it for years.
This is taken just behind where the towels hang and above the scale in the upstairs bathroom. One usually has to be sitting for awhile in the bathroom to see it. I see an artist balancing a large head on one foot while carving the giant head's chin. The giant head has very tall hair, and the artist is about to fall over. If I would have zoomed the picture out you would have seen a mouse tossing it's baby in the air.
