Here are a few pictures of our day when we sent Chase off to the MTC. We enjoyed breakfast with him, Grandma and Grandpa Nelson, Chelsea and the twins, and Ryan and Mandy and their four kids. Then off to the MTC. It was a perfect day....sweet, sad, spiritual and life affirming. We are so proud of Chase and his decision to serve a mission. It will be fun to share it with him.

Disneyland Fun!

This is the only picture we were able to get together. It was a perfect time to go to Disneyland. There were short lines & mild temperatures.

California Vacation

Here we are at the pool. They have several to choose from.

We drove through the Joshua Tree National Park in our sporty convertable. Fun!

A beautiful place to be.....

We have needed this trip for a long time. I think Papa and Grammy will be very refreshed after relaxing in Palm Springs!

Checking out the pool

After checking in to the Marriott Resort in Palm Springs, we walked around to see what there was. What a beautiful place. We got a screamin' deal through our Park City time share. We really want to bring the family here soon. There is something for everyone!

Bathing Beauties!

The "oldest" girls at Bear Lake. Riley, Maddy, and Sydnee pose just before the windstorm blew us off the lake this summer.
