Fun Summer

We have had a fun summer so far. We went with Stu and the American West Fesitval Choir that he sings in to Idaho Falls and Sunvalley. We stayed with Curt and Donna in Idaho Falls. Then we went up to Sunvalley and stayed one night in the lodge. It was pleasant, though rainy. Even the swans wanted to be under cover. Curt and Donna invited us to come and spend the 4th of July with their family. We had been told that until you see Idaho Falls fierworks, you have not really seen fireworks. (They were pretty spectacular.) It was so fun to spend time with them and their family.

We had a family reunion for the Maughan side of the family at the park. It is amazing how fast everyones families are growing. We missed Clair and his family, but we had quite a few of the other families. Pam and Ralph had their whole family there. Janet was only missing one (Helen was in Switzerland) Stu and I missed Alexis (she was at work). Although Curt had the most kids come last year, this year he did not. We will work to get the date to you sooner so that everyone can plan it in their schedule.

We had a Young family reunion at Pineview Resivour. It was just right. We had a nice campsite that was shady most of the day. It was even cool one night. Grandpa and Grandma brought pizza up for lunch on Saturday. It was a big hit and everyone had as much as they wanted.

All of our family but Mathew were able to come for the Mendon celebration. It is a fun day. They started out with the 5K run. Even Stu ran at the last minute. He couldn't walk for a few days after that, but it was worth it. Craig came in 1st in his age group. (He is getting kind of old.)He was fourth overall. Alexis was next, then Megan and Becca, then Stu. They all had fun. We spent the morning at the park. Stu was in charge of the frisbee golf tournament. Next we watched the parade, then Stu and I danced in the "great race" which our neighborhood won - again. Carin stayed at the park all day, the rest of us came home and relaxed. We went back to the park later in the afternoon to play bingo and watch baseball and fireworks.
