Summer Camp and Truck Change
Well,
I just got back from several days with the Young Men from our ward in the White Mountains. We fished, bowled, went to the Snowflake Temple, saw deer, elk, wild turkeys, got rained on, rained out, and ate great food cooked by Bro Neeley. This group of boys was not a hard camping bunch so we opted for the cabin. They played some retro video games of Seth's and did some outdoor stuff as well. This was more like "Summer Camp" on the movie Parent Trap than a real high adventure camp. Except for the death of my beloved red truck, it was a great trip.
While we were in the middle of nowhere, my transmission started going out on my truck (Fourth). We limped up the 4 miles of dirt trail and then back to the cabin. Tranny shot. Traded it in on a demo.
Let me add that I won the fishing derby as well as the bowling debachle.

Can you do this with your arms and legs?
Mikayla loves to laugh. This video was taken in her parents' car on the way home from Uncle Jake's birthday party. Nanny Jill was egging her on. (Pause music player on right then play this video)
March Hares
March 2011 brought birthdays and parties for our family. Dustin, Meagan, and Jake all had birthdays. We celebrated in classic (If not classy) style!

Jill and I spent a four day weekend in Pinetop last weekend. We did all the usual exciting things: Penny's clearance rack shopping, drives in the forest, watched "The Adjustment Bureau" at the theater, tried out a new Mexican Food restaraunt, read, laughed at Jill's usual antics, (Can you believe she lost her phone?), took walks in the forest with the dogs -well I did- and took life slowly. Jill took the truck and met friends for a pedicure while the boys (Dogs Toby and Payson) went for a long Jeep ride in the '63 Willys. I went to the cinder pit and shot, etc. We saw lots and lots of elk this trip including a herd that grazed by as we were sitting at the dinner table with Hub and Karrie. Toby took the opportunity to find the biggest Ponderosas every time I let him out to pee. Funny sight with a rat dog marking a 200 year old tree. Pinetop trips are always fun.
