Dinner and a Play at Sundance

Here we go with another fun activity sponsored by G&K. We arrived at Sundance Resort and got shuttled up the mountain. Here are some of the G&K people.

We ate a BBQ dinner before the play.

We did a little investigating and found this trail that goes up and over the mountain. The sign by Glen's shoulder is enlarged below.

The sign suggests people take that trail as an alternate way of getting back to the parking lot. The sign tells the truth. It was a moderate hike if you wore correct walking shoes like Glen did. It was a strenuous hike if you had a big sore bump on the side of your foot and you wore not-so-great walking shoes like me.

The trail was very rocky and uneven. What a blessed sight to crest the top of the mountain and be able to see a parking lot down the other side of the mountain.

Such a beautiful place up on that mountain.

 We saw some different characters standing around.

Where were Jacob, Natalie and Brooke when they were asking for hula hoop experts for the pre-show contest?

Craig organized this outing for his sales team and their spouses and invited Glen and me to go along with them.

I am so glad we got to enjoy the evening in the great outdoors and see "Annie Get Your Gun."

Fun show, great play, and wonderful G&K employees.

They Have Arrived!

At last... The moment Glen waits for every year about this time.

Season tickets to the BYU football games.

 I think his smile says it all.

Chickens, Swings and a Playhouse

Our August monthly family birthday dinner party was at Andy and Amanda's house--their backyard to be exact. And what a fun backyard it is!!! And with such a beautiful view of the mountains.

The kids spent so much time at the chicken coop. Brooke loved to feed the chickens grass through the holes.

The chicken Andy grilled was super delicious. We were assured it was not a freshly slaughtered one from their coop.

Everyone enjoyed all the food options.

Amanda finished the baby quilt we helped make during Kaelyn's baby shower.

Maggie and Rachel could hardly wait to hold Dennis and Kaelyn's new baby Samantha.

August birthday person was Kenna with a shout-out to Newland turning one. Kenna did give permission for Caroline to blow out her candles.

And my, oh my, did Caroline LOVE the brownie cake. She had seconds and I think even thirds. There she goes with plate in hand.

More playing for the kids and the adults even joined in. Nani is swinging and a group of big people went over to check out the chicken coop.

What a super fun playhouse a neighbor just barely gave to Andy and Amanda. They got it all freshly painted and cemented into place just in time for our party. Ladder in the front, slide at the back and a fireman's pole in the middle.

As Glen and I were saying our good-byes, a rousing game of arm wrestling was just beginning. May the best man win...

Fun time, Andy and Amanda! Thanks for hosting!!
