After dropping the girls off at EFY, Jamie and I headed off on a road trip.  First stop - Logan Temple.


Next stop, Bear Lake, Idaho.  This is at the Fish Haven Cemetary where we visited the graves of our ancestors, Mary McPherson-- One of the oldest to survive the Willie Handcart ordeal,  Hugh Findlay, her son, who was the first of 4 missionaries to go to India for the church and was missionary president in Scotland, and his daughter, Charlotte Findlay Howell, my great grandmother who died at age 40 delivering her 7th child.  My grandma was 10 at the time.  

Next stop, Star Valley, Wyoming.  This is my aunt Geraldine, age 87, skyping my cousin and his wife who is on his mission in Pusan, Korea, where I served my mission, 30 years ago.
My cousins in Wyoming had a nice dinner for us, took Jamie to gather eggs and saddled up a horse for her to ride.  This is my cousin Darnell and his daughter Tammy and two children, visiting from Nebraska.


The next morning, after Aunt Geraldine fed us a nice French Toast Breakfast, we headed for the Tetons and Yellowstone Park, ending up that night in Big Sky Montana.  More to come, next blog.
