Lee's Blessing

As we were traveling up to Yellowstone, we passed a little tiny town, and Lee said casually, that is where I was blessed as a baby.  Katherine and I both sat up and said, what?  So he explained: Lee was born in Pennsylvania, but most of the family was from Idaho and Utah.  So the family made the trip at some point to a little town in Idaho, and he was blessed in a little place they used to hold sacrament meetings.  So Katherine and I both said, we need to have a picture on the way back.  Lee grumbled, but said okay.  Katherine remembered, and I was driving, so there was no question that we would stop.  So here is Lee sitting on the porch of an existing building, not the actual one he was blessed in.  Who knows where it is, or if it's still standing?  Not that it was that long ago, or anything......

More Yellowstone

Okay, who's going to give Tami a blog lesson?  I'm still trying to figure this out and it's frustrating!

Katherine and Andrew  both liked 'walking the line' where ever a curb or timber provided an opportunity.  They were doing this when they first held  hands!

Next  we went to the Tetons, where the whether got pretty cold.  I had gotten a flu from somewhere, so we spent a lot of time in the care just admiring scenery.  

Then we picked up Andrew and Katherine and headed up to Yellowstone.  That was overwhelming!  so much to see and do, and so many animals soooo close!  

Yellowstone

Lee and Tami made a trip to Utah to see our new grandchild, Payton.  I did not get any pictures of Payton......bad, bad Grandma.  We did get to spend some good time with Allen's family, though, and he got some pictures of a group of us climping Timanogas.  I had an appointment before, so I grabbed my backpack, put my tennis shoes in it, put it in the kitchen and reminded Lee that he needed to make sandwiches and to  use the backpack to bring them in.  Then I happily went to my appointment.  When I met up with Lee and Allen and kids, lo and behold, he had borrowed a backpack from Julia because he didn't hear me (or listen?) explain.  So I got to hike Timanogas in my flip flops.  Boy was a I sore the next day!

The hike was well worth it, and so were the caves.  Incredible. 

Julia and Clyde were so hospitable, as always.  It was good to see them.  We got to see Lee's Dad, Verd, and Joe and Janet.
