FAMILY HIKE TO ENSIGN PEAK










The theme this year for Primary is "My Eternal Family." We decided as a Primary Presidency to have a family oriented activity for this quarter. We wanted something easy and painless, in the sense that we didn't want to do a lot of preparation for the activity.

On Saturday, September 13th, Our Grandview 2nd Ward Family took to the Ensign Peak Monument Trail Head and went on a 20 minute hike ( for me, more like 45 min.). At the top, one of our boys that is working on his Faith in God award, did a presentation on what the meaning of Ensign Peak in the LDS Church means, who was present and what was talked about at the meeting of the church officials when they reached the top.

As for painless--I was the last up and the last down, but on the bright side, my total knee replacement is workng--I'm not sure about the rest of me. The left leg hurt way too much for my taste, and the right knee(the replaced knee) came through with flying colors. I was exhausted--Austin went with and he made it to the top far faster than I. When I finally got to the top--he said to me: Where were you? I lost you and I need my water!!! Well, we know what why he wanted me there.

The hike was a success and we all made out without any injuries. it was a beautiful day and you could see the entire valley. The sky was completely cloudless and there was little valley haze.

It was such a fun outing. Thanks to all of you for organizing it! I'm sorry the leg hurt, but glad the knee replacement seems to be working.

About Me

Keith and I were married on October 12,1996 in the Manti, Utah LDS Temple. We have no children but raised one child, Kassie, who is actually my niece. We have 3 adorable grandchildren, Austin 5, Ashlynne 4, and Andrew 1. It has become apparent that our home has an OPEN-DOOR policy, since a lot of people have come and gone through our doors. I retired from the medical profession in Aug of 2007 after nearly 30 years and spend my time taking care of these three very lively, often funny,and very active children. My mother lives with us, however she is serving in the Illinois Peoria Mission and will return in July of 2011. Keith is an R.N. and works at a local rehab center in the Mental Health department. One day we hope to finish our home and travel more;
