 Hey Everyone-

 

Summer is quickly approaching - wanted to drop a quick note to each of you outlining our plans the week we will be in Idaho this coming July. We are VERY much looking forward to seeing everyone and spending as much time as possible with each of you! However, with a group the size of ours – we realize that not everyone’s schedules will line up perfectly with each other’s. And that’s OK. Communicating our plans to each of you is most of all an FYI, but can also serve as a way that we can potentially line up our plans to maximize our time together as a group. Some things are set in stone, and some things we can be flexible with.

 

Saturday July 20th: We will be arriving in the Egin area sometime in the afternoon, as we will be making the short drive up from SLC.

 

Sunday: Attend church at Egin Bench and then prepare to leave for Kilgore in the afternoon to set up camp.

 

Monday: Camping in Kilgore

 

Tuesday: Camping in Kilgore. We will play this day by ear – If camping is going well, we will camp a third night, if not, we will return to Egin.

 

Wednesday:  Return to Egin - get cleaned up!

 

Thursday: White water (class 2 and 3 rapids) rafting on the Snake River at Jackson Hole. Our tentative plan is to catch the 10:15am raft (16 person capacity) departure. Here is a (https://www.tetonwhitewater.com/) link to the website – please let me know if you are interested in joining us. I spoke with the outfitter office and they gave me a promo (rafting) code that would make the pricing $65 per adult and $55 per child. People currently planning on going include: Natalie, Bradley, Maddie, Lynsey, Joe, Ben and me. I’d like to make our reservations by the end of this month or early June.

 

Friday: Early (7-8am departure) morning single-track ride at the beautiful, Harriman State Park. Probably tour the historical buildings after our ride and then maybe hit up the deli at Dave’s Jubilee in Ashton for some fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and dinner (HUGE) rolls – YUM! Return to Egin, get cleaned up, and then leave for Playmill that afternoon – probably leave no later than 4:15 for the 6pm showing of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Our family has six seats reserved in section B, row 8 – seats 9-14. I believe Ben has three seats in that same row as well. I believe Aimee and most of her kids will be attending and possibly Jane and Jocie and a few others from the Haeberle side of the family. Some seats are still available, but not a whole lot….

 

Saturday: Help Dad with his campaign float – enjoy the Pioneer Days Parade! The rodeo is happening Saturday night – this would probably be fun as well –  long time since I’ve been to a rodeo….

 

Sunday July 28th: we begin our drive back to MN.

 

 

 

Please feel free to reply with questions, suggestions, or ideas, or to communicate your families plans – we would love to hear them!

 

Have a super day – hope you are all happy and healthy!

Happy Easter Sunday to you all!     Conference has been wonderful, as usual. I hope that you will have the chance to watch or read the talks, if you didn't get to hear them today. I often find myself thinking of many of you as I listen to the talks. Today was no different. And especially you, Ben, when Bishop Causse, told that his family hadn't been to the Eiffel Tower, even after living near it for 20 years!  What things do we live near, that others would travel far to see? And more to his point, what blessings or opportunities do we have, that others only dream of?    Yesterday, Grandpa told us about a dream he had...at least I think it was a dream. He sometimes seems confused, but when I mentioned that he might feel confused, he said "I feel like I'm in a daze." Anyhow, he said that he was "greeting the men, as they came into the coffee shop." Then the next thing he knew, he was telling them that it was time for conference, and that "we all ...

Dear everybody,    First of all...Happy birthday, Ellen!  Grandpa and I were camping in Island Park, and didn't get you called!  We hope you had a wonderful day.  12 years old!  Oh, my goodness, that's hard to believe!    It seems that many of you are away from home right now, or just were, or are about to be... :) I haven't kept track of everyones plans, but I look forward to hearing all about this weeks activities!     Dad and I had planned to leave for our camping trip on Thursday afternoon, but a couple of other things made us put it off until Friday morning. Dad went to the debriefing meeting for the Emergency Communications drill we were involved in last Saturday. It was at the Stake Center about a mile east of the Rexburg Temple.  And I went to a viewing for Imelda Vargas. Below is a picture of her and her mother, Rosa, which was taken several years ago. Imelda was 40, and had an aneurysm in her brain, quite unexpecte...

  Hello everyone!    Well, 10% of our family had a birthday on Thursday, so that's a pretty big deal, I think! Ben, Bradley, and Leona, we hope that each one of you had a wonderful birthday!     We enjoyed having Shelby here so much, but the week went by too quickly. Grandpa, Gran and I each enjoyed our time with her.  On Saturday (a week ago), she and I went to a matinee and then had lunch with Beth and Hannah and did some shopping. Then Sunday afternoon, Shelby and I met her folks and Lucas in Twin Falls so she could go home. Grandpa wasn't able to come with us as he had planned because of the big fire in Fremont and Clark Counties. But it's finally out now.     A follow-up on my letter from a couple of weeks ago; Grandpa, Shelby, and I had started watching White Fang, but it was pretty upsetting in a few places and we decided to turn it off. Just a warning for more sensitive viewers.      LaRue Hunter Nelson (Dr. Milton...
