Some of the things we love to do is take rides up Alpine Loop and come down on the other side of the mountain, near Sundance, and journey back through Provo Canyon and the Provo river. I remember doing this a couple of times on General Conference weekend Saturday, listening to the conference on the radio, taking in the breathtaking views, and seeing numerous people picnicking along side the road and enjoying nature. That's what its all about. The quality of life lived here in these parts.
Sure, there are other things to do, like taking in local high school football games, or elevate that to BYU football, its all good. There's also visiting family, or having them visiting you.
We got to take care of our local four grandchildren while their parents travelled out of state. This was more like an extended weekend visit. We were busy with their lives and activities but it was fun. Then, we had a visit from Nikki, Dan, and their family. We don't get to see them as often, because they live out of state and have very busy lives also. We got together to celebrate one of our grandson's birthday and Rachel, Jase, and children also attended. They live on the other side of the mountain. So, with three daughters here, their spouses, and children, plus their two dogs, you know which ones, we had a house full for the evening. I especially noticed 18 grand children in attendance, all enjoying their cousins and having pretty much a great time.
As for Jo and I, we took it in, all in stride and loved having family over, any time at all. We got to spend a little more time with Nikki and Dan and their family. When it was time for them to leave, I finally got some good pictures of their kids, like "Rue-Rue" and Biscuit, plus some of the others.
