Mount Pleasant Cabin Trip

We headed down to Mount Pleasant for a week in August.  Bought some new kayaks for our last summer hurrah. Good thing Scott took many pictures since mine are missing.  

Day 1

Headed down to Palisades.  What a cute and fun hidden little gem of water. 

The water was plenty warm for swimming. And we had a blast paddling around.

We will visit again.  Such a great day!

Day 2

We took Helga (the mountain bus) out for the day.

We found a sheep dog and some sheep!  And then ended the day, stopping at the Power Plant Park and finding some hidden bunny rabbits!

Day 3

Explored around the Fairview Museum.  They have anything from art and dinosaur bones, to Joseph Smith sculptures to antique toys.

After a burger at the gas station, we headed to a great movie, "The Fighting Preacher" about a family who was assigned to establish the church in upstate New York. They dad gained respect by winning boxing matches.  Nice show except for the annoying kid in front of us who squeaked with his chair the entire time and about drove us mad!

Day 4

Took the kayaks out again and explored little rivers and ponds around Mount Pleasant.

So glad Scott took a bunch of pictures since mine are deleted forever. :(

We had a relaxing time on a big lake at the end. 

Day 5

Drove Helga again and ended up at a museum in Spring City.

Attempted to cross the mountain and make a giant loop, but an enormous boulder stopped us.  The danger just was not worth it, so we turned around.

Ended the night with a bonfire and made s'mores.  Scott and I started a new eating program (Weight Watchers), so the s'mores were a welcome treat after a week of eating healthier.  We headed home the next day. So much fun to get out of town and make new memories!

August 2019

My phone lost a bunch of pictures.  We upgraded phones and thought we backed up my photos, but they are missing which makes me sad.  Oh well.  More pictures eventually.

Makayla finally talked us unto getting her a new phone, a Samsung s10.  She is spoiled and is supposed to help us clean one room a day to help out with the cost.  We also headed to Dave and Busters to play games one last time before school started.

Makayla got a sweet tour of the Conference Center.  We even went in some tunnels until we learned that people without passes are not allowed down there.  "Diane", "Diane Bjarnson" the 'men in black' security guards sternly said as we were in a tunnel.  They flagged us because Makayla is too young to have a pass.  Memories. And we passed 28K miles on the van.

Got to meet Shara's little baby, Kolton, from Micronesia (and Arizona).  Very surprising that she is starting over with kid #4!  She told me the story of how it was meant to be and she woke up at 3am one day feeling it was urgent that she submitted her adoption application.  By 10am the SAME day, she received the call about Kolton, and the rest is history!

Went to see my 1st counselor, Catherine Bohman, in a singing recital. Bonus- her brother, Steve Nelson from The Piano Guys was there too.  She has an amazing singing voice. And the progress of Brighton will block our mountain view.

Grandma Hebdon turned 89 years old!  And she had a bubble themed party.  Finally got the 4 generation picture that I have wanted for so many years, yeah!!!

Sterling with bubbles and a praying mantis that we hatched.
                                                             

And some first day of school photos.  I scoured the computer again for any lost August pics, but they are gone forever.  Sadness. :(
