St. George Hike with Chantel, Dave and the Dogs

It was exciting to discover this home in a cave. I had no idea it was there, and so close.

Creekside Park Grand Opening

I am so excited to have this better-than-expected park within walking distance of our home.  So fun!  I even saw lots of our neighbors of all ages when I visited.

Third Sunday Dinner at Chantel's

Because we were in St. George for my Turner Family Cousins Reunion, Chantel invited us to her 3rd Sunday Dinner - a wonderful tradition she has picked up from Julie.  It is always great to see her family.  She even let us stay the night.

Turner Cousins Reunion

Greg Turner and Marilyn Morrell organized and beautifully carried out a reunion of the Turner cousins in southern Utah.  

Karl rented an AirBnB, the Adams White House, located against the red cliffs on the hill in St. George above St. George Blvd. for him, Shawna, Dick & Carole and us.  It was a lovely home with lots of room and it was a pleasant experience to be together.  

Friday evening we all met at the Golden Corral Restaurant for dinner and conversation.  Saturday morning Greg and Jodi served breakfast at their home in Toquerville.  Pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage and lots of time to visit.  Their home is awesome and the weather was perfect.  We took some photos and Sharon Turner Jackson read to us about Uncle Mark's World War II experiences.  

We then went to the Toquerville Cemetery where Greg gave us a history of Elizabeth Uren Ould Theobald while we were standing by her grave.  She was a remarkable woman.  

Next we went to Duncan's Retreat, the place the Theobalds first settled in southern Utah after being sent there by Brigham Young.  The Virgin River flooded them out two or three years in a row so they moved to Toquerville.  The pictures in the second panel above, middle row, far left and far right are at Duncan's Retreat.  

We went on to Springdale, Utah to Arizona Al's Restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful buffet and more opportunities to talk with one another.  Part of the group went to Grafton and part of us went back to St. George as others left for home.  

We have a great family and the reunion was a great success, extremely well attended, and well organized.

Eloise Dawn Mott is Baptized

Ellie is a marvelous girl and was excited to be baptized and confirmed by her father, Jeff.  She is beautiful, caring and kind. Julie gave a great talk about baptism and rainbows.  Melissa went to a lot of trouble to make this special day memorable and continued the rainbow theme. We were so happy to be there.
