A Busy Week!!

July 7 - 12 was a very eventful and busy week. Here is how it broke down:

Nathan left for a week at Scout camp at Maple Del (in Payson Canyon). He had a great experience with his troop and learned a lot.

On Friday night Caleb, Seth and I went up for family night. Nathan shared his feelings about camp and his experience. He shared his testimony and how he had grown spiritually during the time he was there.

During this same week Jeremy had the chance to perform with the Lyceum Orchestra at Abravenal Hall in Salt Lake City. The concert was part of the Days of '47 celebrations. He was very handsome in his tuxedo and did a wonderful job playing his violin. In preparation for the two concerts he had some very intense practices. Here are a few pictures from the concert.

On one of rehearsal days we took him to his practice and the rest of the family (Jannette, Ethan, Lizzy, Caleb, Seth and I) went to Temple Square and had a wonderful time. We went to the Visitor's Center.

Walked around the Temple grounds:

Took some beautiful pictures:

Reminded the boys that they will have the Aaronic Priesthood some day:

And enjoyed the Main Street Plaza in front of the Temple with its reflecting pool:

We had a wonderful time together.

Later this week Ethan took off for an 11-year-old overnighter at the Roney Ranch. He and his friends had a lot of fun.
