Utah Summer Activities

Since we got off of the airplane, we have been going and going. We have been able to make it to so many family functions and it has been wonderful. In the midst of everything, we found a house to rent for a few months so that we weren't jumping into something that we would regret. It is a nice home and our neighbors have been very warm and welcoming. The day our POD arrived, the Bishop of our church and his wife were walking by (I don't think by chance) and within a few minutes there were about 8 or so men unloading our POD. We were so grateful for all of the help. There are so many good people in the world.

Here are some pictures of what we have been doing.

Braden had so much fun on the canoe. He said he loved to go out because it was so peaceful.

Collin spent countless hours in the water catching tad poles. There were literally thousands.
Collin and Lila hanging out.
A beautiful rainbow landing right in the lake. This picture doesn't do it justice.
Grandma Kathy and Uncle Brandon preparing an amazing, enormous clam bake. It was so fun to be a part of and I even ate some clams. Not too bad.
