Tuesday

Yesterday we took Ziva to the vet,  she had her cruciate ligament (ACL in humans) repaired.  We are going to pick her up this morning and we're anxious to see her. The vet said everything went well. I hope she has a good recovery.

In the afternoon Grace had Makayla over to hang out and swim.  Those girls are very silly.  They made concoctions and played hide and seek and swam.

In the evening we had a ward social. It was a lot of fun.  We had a picnic at Rawley Duntley park. We had a really good turn out, lots of friends and lots of delicious food.  The weather was super nice, a little windy but not hot and we got to sit around and visit.  Ethan and the boys threw around balls and frisbees.  Grace and her age kids sat at the table and laughed and talked, they threw water balloons at each other and raced around the playground.

When we first got there Dale was scooping a snake into a bag and was transporting it to the desert.  Most people missed out on that excitement.

CAMP MEMORIES:
I meant to write about some of the fun things I wanted to remember about camping.  One thing that was so striking was the sky at night.  It was super amazing.  So.Many.Stars.  Each night I lay on the air mattress (at like midnight or 1am) and looked out the screened window and watched them while I fell asleep. Gorgeous.

Also Grizzly Falls.  So amazing.  We hiked up a short little while and when you got about 20Feet from the falls you could feet the mist and it was like taking a shower.  We got so wet.  It was loud and wet and amazing.  It made you laugh to stand there in all that majesty.

The river.  Woah! I have never seen anything like it.  It was so powerful.  The water was churning up white caps and spraying huge bursts of water fountains. So overwhelmingly strong and majestic.

Lastly this cute little squirrel.  He hung out at our camp a lot.  He was so brave and friendly.  He stole food right next to our feet.  He would sit and eat right in front of us.  He did this funny little army crawl where he would press himself totally flat and then inch forward.  We saw lots of animals, which was neat.
