We Took a Little Trip. . .

Dear Friends,

We recently returned from an all-too short trip to see our family members who live in Idaho and Utah. It has been four years since we've been back there, and we figured that this would probably be the last time that all of us could make it together, since the little birdies are bound to fly away from the nest eventually!

We enjoyed the wide open spaces and mountains-

It was wonderful seeing everyone at my mother's house (my nephew and his wife had strep throat, so they wore masks to keep it from spreading to the rest of us), and we had a lovely sing-along.

My brother treated us to the first performance of a song he wrote about Roy Rogers.

We enjoyed the beautiful Latter-Day Saint temple in Idaho Falls,

... along with many beautiful crab apple trees blooming across the river.

Later that week, we visited family in Utah and went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City.

Mr. Graham and I re-enacted our wedding photo from 23 years before. . . kind of.

 And here are a few additional members of the family that weren't around 23 years ago!

 On the way back we stopped at the National Dinosaur Park in Vernal, Utah, since Hyrum loves dinosaurs. 

At last we returned to the green rolling hills of our home state, waiting for us with sticky humidity!

It was a long, long ride in a Suburban full of nine people, but we have wonderful memories to treasure the rest of our lives!

Love,
