On Saturday morning Packer got up early and went on a temple to temple bike trip with the Deacons. They got a ride to the Provo Temple and did Baptisms there. Then they rode their bikes up to the Timpanogos Temple and did baptisms there!!
Packer said it was a pretty neat experience. He was cold but he was glad he did it!
The next day Benji and Packer met up with some friends at James’s house and took all of the pumpkins that people didn’t want and made a smashing pumpkins video!
I guess Ray is in those crates but what are Packer and Cali doing?
This Kid is a natural at Junior High. Benji and I took him to find his locker and his classes!!
Packer wanted to hike so I chose Stewart Falls! I didn’t really know what I was doing but we tapped it into the GPS and went for it. Packer was a great hiker and didn’t complain at all. He is a natural.
I tried to talk about life and stuff but he kept bringing up nature and how beautiful the view was and what kind of trees we were seeing and wondering about the avalanche that bent all of the trees over in one section. He noticed the tree roots in the path and the cool rocks. Really a natural hiker!
We did make it to the falls but the water was way to cold for either one of us to want to get in. We got our feet wet and crossed the river and chilled for a minute before hiking back. We grabbed onion rings and milk shakes on the drive home. 4 hours well spent.
We finally got the boys mowing the lawn.
Fun time for the boys at the Evans!
Off to watch for the 3rd time in 2 weeks! He watched opening weekend with these 2. Then Packer and Luca and Benji went on a Tuesday afternoon and then he went with Alex. OBSESSED.
