Latest Adventures

I'm still alive!

We have been tripping around a bit.

In the fall we went to Alaska on a cruise.

We ran into our neighbors while we were in Ketchikan.


Getting ready to go to the life saving drill.

We went to visit our friends in the Dominican Republic.
And went to the temple there.


We went to the Costa Rica temple, but it was closed because of the earth quake.
The earth quake caused Moroni's horn to fly away.

Went through the Panama Canal one day, then went through the Panama temple.

Took Ashley and Jordan to dinner.

We went to the Draper Open House.
We had a great trip - but it's always good to be home!

You have had some awesome adventures. It's fun to see people that you know in front of some of the temples that went up during Pres. Hinckley's time. Really beautiful!
Glad you showed back up on the blog.
(Too bad about that horn, by the way)

Merlene, I can't believe it took me two months to see your new post. I had sort of given up on you to tell you the truth so I guess I quit checking to see if you had posted anything. What great trips you've had. Glad you two are still having exciting adventures. I think I know your neighbor you bumped into in Alaska. We were at Ricks College together. She used to come to the bazaar too sometimes. She is a fun person.
