Utah Weekend

Sunday...

 Amy, the kids and I made a quick trip to Utah for Luke's farewell.  Todd had some church commitments, so he couldn't join us.  

He spoke in church and did an amazing job...and then he was set apart.  I'll admit, I shed a few tears in both places.  

After church, lots of his family and friends gathered at his house to enjoy some time together and wish him well.  

He starts home MTC tomorrow morning for three weeks and then he's off to the Provo MTC for six more weeks of Korean.  I'm so proud of this kid.  He is going to be an amazing missionary.

Monday...Amy has wanted to hike the Kanarra Falls Trail for a long time, we were going right past it on our way home, and we had the time, so we did it!

There were actually two falls, the second one being much harder to get to, so I opted to go only half way and stop at the first falls.  There, I found a nice place to rest and read my book while the others kept going.  Luckily, it was a round trip, so they could pick me up on their way back!

The second half was beautiful with lots of narrows... 

and a ladder and boulders to navigate.

But, they said it was well worth the effort...it was beautiful.
