Primary temple trip!

The Albert Lea Branch Primary traveled to the St. Paul/Minneapolis temple today!

Here's the whole group!

When we got back

The day after we got back from our trip, we had all sorts of vegetables awaiting us in our garden! :) Needless to say, we had to give some away!

Trip: Part Four: Our day trip to Estes Park, Colo.

On Friday when we were in Colorado, we went to Estes Park, which is about an hour or so away from Fort Collins through the mountains.
When we got there, we went to eat lunch and then we went to this little area where they had all sorts of rides and things for kids to enjoy!
They had a little train that even Sophie enjoyed one time! Here's Jason's sister, Melissa, and our niece Anna and nephew Isaac, and Jason of course.

They had go-carts

On the way back we stopped to take a few pictures. Here's me and Jason

Trip: Part Three: Miscellaneous Colorado

Trip: Part Two: CSU flower gardens

One of the earlier days in the week, we thought we would go to these flower training gardens for the horticulture students at Colorado State University so that Sophie could see all the pretty colors! Plus I wanted to see all the different types of flowers and get some other ideas for my flower gardening next year! (Mom would have loved this!)
Here's Sophie frolicking around!
Here's one end of the garden. There were probably three times as many flowers as this in the whole area, each labeled with what specific kind of flower they were.
Here's Jason and Sophie (Jason doesn't look too happy, but it was his suggestion to go there!)

(How do they get these so big!?)

So we just got back from our trip to Utah and Colorado! Here's some pics from the few days in Utah! (In reverse order)

Travis Tritt concert

On Saturday night, Jason and I went to the Travis Tritt concert at our fair here in Freeborn County because I had to cover it for the newspaper. Here's a pic Jason got!

Temple trip

This is a few weeks old, but I thought I'd put it on there anyway. It's from our trip to the St. Paul Temple a few weeks ago!


We went up with the youth.
