Swimming, Walk with Jesus (Heber Valley Camp), Freedom Awards Gala

 

Yesterday we swam for a few hours at the hotel pool in Orem. Lizzie had fun giving Layth his first swimming lesson.






Denali, Penny, Diana, and a friend they met at the pool.

And he's out!

Last night we had a neat experience doing the Youth Theme Walk (or Walk with Jesus) at the Heber Valley Camp. It was powerful and uplifting!

Dad and Angela announce they are getting married

 Approximately one week ago, Dad told me he wanted us to meet a "special friend". Today we toured Angela's sculpture studio in Highland, Utah, and then we had a surprise.
