This was our day to do nothing, or….almost nothing. We slept in this morning after the exciting events of yesterday! We helped Tara by straightening up a little for her sister’s visit, and then left for the Wright’s house since the power had been restored. It was nice to relax and take it slower today.… Read More Vacation: Day 7 (Lazy Desert Day)

Before church Merri Ellen and I were able to practice two specials for the morning service.

We opened our eyes to a vast land “wild and rugged”and quite different from the Indiana we left the day before. We were thrilled to be once again in Utah! The red and white bluffs looming above the desert were surprising sights since we had arrived in the pitch dark of the early morning. After… Read More Vacation: Day 2 (Bryce Canyon National Park)
