Summer,

 

It is hard to believe it will be July this week.  The rain has made the spring seem longer but it sure is pretty.  We have made a few hikes up the mountains but have not made it camping yet.  The Trek is this week which has pretty much consumed Janet for the last couple of weeks!  Right now we have 27 baby dolls all over our front room, buckets, clothes and lists laying everywhere.  Hopefully everything will go off as scheduled.  It should be a neat experience.  

 

Megan took here first $200 dollar paycheck and went skydiving with some boy she met at EFY last year.  She said it was awesome.   She asked the instructor if they could do some flips or something.   He said on the first jump they couldn’t, be they did a back flip out of the plane.   They just put her in a suit, attached the harness, showed her how to hold her hands and then up she went.   They attach her to the instructor and then out they go.  Supposedly they jump at 13,000 feet and free fall for 60 seconds.  They actually deploy a small 3 ft diameter chute right out of the plane that slows them down some as they free fall.  When they finally open the chute they come right down on the field and land pretty soft.   Janet went down and filmed her.  I figured I had better stay away from the temptation.    

 

Also it was Dawsen’s Birthday yesterday.  Janet made him a Dragon cake.  When we lit the candles things got out of hand.

 

It was great seeing everyone at Jessica’s wedding and Spencer’s talk.  Worth the driving to see such great examples of faith and courage.
