OK, so I beat Jennifer in getting an update put into our BLOG.


We just got back from Denver and SLC, where we atttended Bodie's blessing. What a neat experience. We took Mom with us afterwards to Denver for Jill's Baby Brett's wedding in a beautiful mountain setting. We took in a few of the sights like Rocky Mountain National Park and Colorado Springs. I've included a pic of Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs


On the way home from Denver, we took a detour (spelled 3-4 hours) to see Martin Cove and the Willie handcart memorial. It really was impressive. If you decide you'd like to experience a handcart yourself, they have some to let you take a mile or so spin. "Unfotrunately" we couldn't experiment as we had MOM with us and I couldn't pull a handcart with both Riet and MOM on it. All in all a very impressive experience (of course, all of the Church sites are really well done). Mom had friends who were serving a mission there, but they were out when we called -- oh shucks!!!
The picture is of Devil's Gate.
