Utah’s Pioneer Day weekend was very busy at our house. After months of planning, my mother’s home teacher Dave Bills and his wife (Mom’s visiting teacher) Janine drove her to southern Utah to be sealed in the St. George Temple to my father, who passed away on June 17, 2008.
It was the first time in the temple for my mother and I’m certain most of it went right over her head, but she now has the certificate to show her friends. Jan’L joined us for the ceremony where David served as proxy for my dad and Michael and Ed Sappington were witnesses, making it a real family affair (what a wonderful experience to be in the temple with two of my precious children).
On Friday evening, we and the Bills’ volunteered at Tuacahn for the production of Disney’s “Tarzan” but it was much too hot for Grandma Doris . . . so we’ll have to go back to see the entire show (which was wonderful to the point we left). On Saturday, Tara took Lilly out for a photo shoot and Michael went repelling with friends down 300' cliff faces in slot canyons at Zion National Park. All-in-all, the weekend was busy and filled with noisy chatter and kids having fun together. Everyone had left by noon on Sunday, leaving behind the usual piles of towels and sheets, but as always, it was fun to have family and friends visiting in our home.
