Utah, so far

What a whirlwind trip! Lots gone on, going on, and yet to get going. Friday we had dinner with the Croshaws, which was great! It was short, but fun to have almost everyone together. I just wish I'd answered my phone when it was ringing instead of doing the polite thing.

From Utah

The cabin turned out to be a bit of an adventure in and of itself. We had lots of rain. And then some sunshine. Saturday we took the kids fishing, and I was glad that someone actually caught something. Kids seem to get easily disillusioned if they don't see results in their attention span (which, btw, is small). Fishing ended early for some of the kids, once Jonathan decided to wear the lake rather than just stand by it. That poses a small problem when you're 8 and didn't bring lots of winter clothes to a summer cabin (though it is in the mountains.) It's also an interesting challenge when you're living in a cabin with no heat and no washer/dryer. We got that all squared away though, and kicked off a very fun karaoke / dance off. There will be no pictures from said event, because the organizers felt that it might in some way incriminate the participants. Rumor has it that there are videos available for a price (it's steeper than you can imagine, trust me!)

So, I got a great phone call from Kenya on Sunday, and enjoyed the moutnain air outside of church and some sunshine while I talked to Abby. It was the first bit of sunshine we'd seen in a while, and also the first bit of wireless coverage I'd had in a while too. (hence the late post) Dad had to head into SLC though to take care of family matters. It appears that Grandma's passing is imminent, so there are now lots of other details to take care of.

Monday we took the kids out fishing again, and this time enjoyed glassy water and sunny skies, as opposed to the choppy, windy, and rainy weather from Saturday. We caught a few more fish and called it a day.
