Easter & Ben

Went to Ben's after church and visited.  I took this photo of Ezra & Ben with matching ties.

Hurricane, Yant Flats, Zion & Bud

My brother, Jerry, and me at Bryce Canyon.  Jerry flew in to visit us for a quick family reunion in Hurricane with Bud, Diana, Jan and me. 

While there Bruce, LaRon and I hiked Yant Flats near by. 

Diana, Jerry, Jan, Ken & me at Zion. 

Zion & the Virgin River

Olsen siblings minus Jeff who could not attend.  Bud's health is frail after cancer surgery and on going liver disease.  

Red Cliffs Reserve

We hiked the trail along Quail creek in the Red Cliffs Reserve with our friend Bonnie Fawcett who lives in St. George.  I like the way the green leaves reflect on the water.  I was surprised that many who live in St. George were not familiar with this place which is only 20 miles north. 

Bruce and Bonnie on the trail.

Valley of Fire

We met Jenny's family at the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.  Andrew, Eliza & Annabelle loved climbing on and through the rocks.  We enjoyed camping out, but have decided we need a bigger tent. 

Andrew, Annabelle, Serge, Eliza & Jenny in their playhouse near their camping spot.

Opa helps Annabelle down from the rock.

Eliza's feet do not touch the ground as she walks with Opa and Annabelle.

Bruce & Me at the narrows on the White Dome Loop Trail. 

Sharissa, Trevor, Sara

We flew to New Orleans and then drove to Gulf Shore, MI with Sharissa, Trevor & Sara and their dog Belle to spend some time on the gulf coast.  It was great.  Weather was cool but nice. 

We flew some kites on the beach that I brought out in my carry-on.

We enjoyed playing games like power scrabble and fun getting to know Trevor and Sara better.

Leslie arranged a lunch at her house so we could get together.  Hopefully we will try to do this more often.
