Youth Conference 7/9 - 7/12 Palmyra - Kirtland Trip

We had an awesome trip with the youth! Palmyra was great and so was Kirtland. We learned a lot of church history and got to hang with the greatest group! Enjoy! :-)
1st day Camping @ Palymyra - Wayne's County Fair Grounds

Been awhile

OK, so its been a couple of weeks since I posted on the blog. I want to make sure that I add a few things I missed this month that I didn't have a chance to get to .. like Youth Conference and last weeks Girls Camp! All good times. Its been a church filled month in July and it was well worth it! Hope everyone is doing great! Enjoy!

Solomon Swimming Video

A video of Solomon swimming in the Grams pond :-) Paul was afraid that he wouldn't make it but he did! :-) Yeah!

Lazy Saturday

We took our golden retriever dog - Solomon over to the Grams House for his 1st experience with swimming! He loved it! We are definitely grateful for this .. our last dog -Sampson was scared of the water but could swim .. just not willingly. Here's our dog in the middle of their pond.

Philmont New Mexico

Ray Grams, Bill Burch, & Paul - Bill is a world renowed Widdler - Famous for his Bolo Ties ... his area was always our meeting point after class and meetings.

This is the lifesize display that Paul & Ray tried to get from the General Authorities ... they did not succeed but it was fun watching them try!

Our family banner for FHE & talent show night .. no talent but lots of banner ... lets just say that when Paul introduced us as PaulieEsther ... a lot of people remembered our names!!! no kidding!

The Grams & Duhaceks in front of the Philmont Museum during our freetime. That didn't really seem too much like a real museum.

Paul & I posed in front of the Kit Carson Museum, we went here for a moonlight tour ... it was definitely interesting!


Let's see .. what do I say about Philmont. Would I go back - definitely! Was it a good time - absolutely! Would I recommend it to friends - I would reccomend it to families with kids small and teenager, the program is based around the family! How about couples with no kids - definitely!!! If you ever have a chance to go - don't turn it down! It's well worth it! :-) Here are some pictures that i have of our trip!
