Golf


Terry and Austin went golfing for the first time together today. They went to Jordan River Golf Course which is just a par three course. It was perfect for what they wanted to do because they were not rushed and Austin was able to hit the ball around a lot. Although he enjoyed using he new clubs his favorite part was running to the flag and taking it out of the hole. Terry says he did really well and even made a 6 foot put.


Two days ago was also the annual MS "Day at the Park" with the Salt Lake Bee's Triple A baseball team. Each year they offer tickets to the game with dinner before. It is such a fun event. The kids love playing at the park and riding the train they have around the outfield. We enjoyed spending time with family. We sat out in right field on the hill. They also have a lady doing balloons and the kids got a helmet and sword. Austin found another kid who had the same thing and they would play fight each other. Oh how nice it is to be young and not be afraid to approach someone you don't know and ask them to play. How simple life really is.

Hooray for May!



We finally had nice enough weather to get up in the mountains. Unfortunately the mountains are a few weeks behind in spring colors, but it was still so wonderful to get out. We decided to go up Mueller Park Canyon for dinner. We got a spot right next to the stream (crick for all you red neck Utahan's) The kids had a blast playing around the stream. Terry and I just enjoyed the break and a chance to sit in the warmth and relax. We had tin foil dinners which the kids loved the potatoes. Go figure. Terry thought the meat was the best, but me, Mushrooms... MMM good!
