Nauvoo trip

We had so much fun watching this little family of geese on the banks of the Mississippi in Nauvoo. The babies were so cute, fuzzy & yellow.

This beautiful stature of Hyrum & Joseph leaving Nauvoo to ride off to Carthage is across the street from the front of the temple. It's very life-like & very poignant.


Isn't it beautiful! It was thrilling to come around the bend of the Mississippi while still 8 or 9 miles away and see the temple sitting on the bluff.








We visited Ft. Leonard Wood. We hadn't been back since we left 36 years ago. They had recently torn down the house where we had lived, so we didn't get to see it, but this is the hospital where Melanie & Lara were born. We posted this just for them.

Moab 4-wheeling trip

Here we are with the beautiful red rocks & the Colorado River below us.
A panoramic view of the Colorado River.
Incredibly interesting landscape in every direction. We had a ball and would highly recommend this outing!

Hawaii Trip 2008

Just wanted to make you all envious! Here we are in Kona with our wonderful, fresh flower leis that Joann greeted us with at the airport.
We went to the temple in Kona with the Bigler's daughter, Cami. We stopped by to see it the day before and are posing in front of the beautiful traveler palms.
We stayed two days at the Hilton Resort on the big island. This take-your-breath-away sunset was taken from the resort.
This is taken on the north side of the island where the Seven Valleys are seen behind us. Between Dale and Joann is their son-in-law, Wade, who was a tour guide extraordinaire.
We are in Hilo, posing in front of the statue of King Kamehameha.
