Our visit to Cousin Jean

May / June 2013

 We had a late snow the first week of May. 

 Exploring a new park in Kansas with fun trails.

Our roses bloomed abundantly this spring with the good rains and cool weather.

Granddaughter Renna

 At Easter we saw our new granddaughter Renna who was born in January.

March brought a big change.

 We had to say goodbye to Allison, Ryan, and Brysen as they moved to Utah.

In April Elizabeth took her first plane ride to Utah and went up to Idaho to visit Cassy and get a look at the BYU-I campus from a student's perspective.

 She met Ryan, Allison and Brysen in the airport before she came home and was happy to know Brysen had not forgotten her.

 She visited some sites in Salt Lake we didn't have time for in September.  The north Visitor's Center and then to do baptisms in the Salt Lake Temple.

 Visiting Idaho Falls. A carosel museum in Idaho Falls

 Working hard at the Church Museum in Salt Lake, while Cassy relaxes and supervises.
