We passed out about 450 bags around our neighborhood and surrounding areas and helped the Pathfinders and Adventurers collect more food this year than ever for the Holiday food baskets.
Havin' a good time!

Potato Gleaning
I'd never had the experience of gleaning before but the first time was so profitable! We gained a couple boxes of potatoes and it was lots of fun to just pick potatoes right off the top of the soil. Six weeks later and we still have potatoes!
We are grateful and can't wait to do it next year!
Restoration International Retreat
Our last stop was the Indiana Family Retreat put on by Restoration International. Because as a pastor's family campmeeting is a bit different of an experience, it's nice to be able to fit in a spiritual retreat. And this is the best!! It is such a blessing and such a growing experience. It's such a neat environment that it's sad when the four days are over.
Petrified Forest National Park - Arizona
Our last official Park stop was the Petrified Forest. We didn't have long to spend here so we went to the spot that the kids and I remembered as having the most petrified wood for David to see. It is kind of amazing. It's beautiful.
It was SO WINDY when we stopped. Probably the most wind I've ever experienced. It made the 3/4 mile loop cold and memorable!
Even this plant was "jingling" in the wind. It was a cool little sound.
David's hat flew right off his hat and he had to run about 20 yards to retrieve it.
Ready to take flight... :)
Grand Canyon National Park - Arizona
Magnificent is the word I use to describe the Grand Canyon. We got to visit both the north and the south rim. Very different, but neat to see both aspects.
The North Rim
The South Rim
We hiked a couple miles to Ooh Aah Point. It was pretty spectacular!
Lighthouse Point
Just before sunset
One Little Trouble
For the most part, things went really well, however, the morning that were suppose to be leaving the Grand Tetons to get Grammy to the airport in Salt Lake and to travel down to the Grand Canyon, the truck would not start. It took hours to figure out the problem but after lots of phone calls and troubleshooting, David had it all figured out. After about 6 hours and we finally had a tow truck coming from an hour away to tow us to Jackson, Wyoming, the truck started!! Praise the Lord, we just needed to get it started that one time so we could haul the trailer with us to Jackson, Wyoming, and not have to come back for it. We know it was miracle because the mechanic told us the solenoid was completely shot...shouldn't have started. We were grateful.
My mom missed her flight. We lost time and money, but God was there taking care of us the whole time. We were grateful for his care during our little problem
