Some of what we have been doing this summer 2015

Bob and I volunteer as part of LDS Casting to be in some of the church videos.  You never know where we will show up.

We went to the Tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point with some of our Sr missionary couples who served in So. Africa

We took grandkids to kids day--this is Edison doing yoga "downward facing dog"

We attended many end of school programs of grandkids.  This one is Cameron's

Grandkids-Eddy, Sarah, Beth, Cam, Megan looking at baby kittens

Bob is doing so well with his new hip and knee--golfing several times a week.

Mother's Day 2015

Tam and Rob hosted Mother's Day BBQ in their back yard

Jordan, Kate, Amy, Angela, Eric and families came along with Bob and I, Rob's Mom, Janet and Travis' sister Deena

It was a beautiful afternoon of sunshine and delicious food and fun for all the cousins

OPEN HOUSE FOR RYAN AND MADISON ROSE

The reception was another record rainy day--but it didn't stop the fun.  The kids loved the soda pop--so did the adults!

The World's Best Corndogs were served.  They were delicious--and cheese sticks deep fried in batter!

The backyard was decorated so cute and "homey" with tent awnings over all the tables and food.

Feeding the cake...........

Cutting the cake.  Ryan and Madi are sooo happy.  Rain doesn't dampen their spirits at all.

They honeymooned in Puerto Rico.

Ryan and Madi's wedding at Zion's National Park

Trevor, Brody, Laken, Rachel, Madi & Ryan, Wendy and Bob Jr. 

Hiking in Zion's park --Madi escorted by her Dad to Ryan.  Bob Jr. performed the wedding and did a great job.

Rose cousins playing in the pool in St George the day before the wedding.

More hiking in the canyons--Ryan reciting his heartfelt (tears') vows to Madi.  The Rose girls-Laken, Madi and Rachel

Eric and Medical Team in Zimbabwe

The team of Drs and Nurses and Ben left SLC March 7th for Zimbabwe

They arrived with all 23 bags of medical, school and other supplies.

Ben kept busy dispensing medicines and supplies.

School children loved their notebooks, pencils, etc

They assessed the needs of the people who came to the clinic.

Huge lines of patients awaited their arrival at the village clinics.

Dr Kristi Jahn helped as needed

The nurses deloused and disinfected the school children

Dr Mike Lemmon from Idaho Falls examined the children.

Eric and Ben giving out school bags and toys and supplies

Many returned to their remote villages with food and other needed materials.

Everyone they passed along the road was given help and comfort or sustenance of some kind.

The children from the villages were given toys, clothing, soccer balls, etc.

They love receiving something soft and cuddly.

Ben's scouting skills came in handy each evening.

He was good at starting fires.

Food was plentiful and delicious.  They didn't have to eat these.

Rachel had wonderful meals planned and prepared for.

Camping inside of tents was crowded but safe.

Sometimes the tent wasn't necessary.

After working 12 hours days and driving into the night, it was just great to sleep anywhere.

Travel wasn't without it's share of troubles.

Flat tires, broken springs and miracles that fixed things were part of the experience.

Team work was required always--especially when driving on dirt roads with pot holes

The treat at the end of the rainbow--Victoria Falls

One of the dreams fulfilled--bungee off the bridge at Victoria Falls

They did it!  Truly they are Bountiful Braves

The mist from the falls drenched them all.  What a trip! Back row--CC, Ben, Eric, Mike, Jeri, Chris--Front Kelly and Kristi

The whole team back with the Lolly and Iris in Harare.  Well done thou good and faithful servants.
