I love hiking with these ladies, we laugh and have a great time. I was happy to actually make this hike. It was 12.75 miles, the elevation was only 1600 feet from start to finish so I was able to do it with my sore knee. This lake is in the Saw Tooth National forest about 1 hour drive away from Sun Valley Idaho. Nancy Bosworth has a condo there and invited us to come for three days of fun and 3 big hikes. I made the first two but by the third day my knee was quit sore so I opted to go Shopping with Lisa and Nancy. Hey hiking, shopping, I don't care if I am with great company.

Jeff and the kids decorated the house and threw me a surprise party for my 50th birthday! I was totally caught off guard. I never saw this coming. After work I went grocery shopping and had no idea so many friends and family were at my house waiting to surprise me. We had lots of food, cake and ice cream. Thanks guys. I have the best husband and family!

Niagara Falls, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

While in Palmyra, we went to Hill Cumorah, One of the sister missionaries took this picture for us in the visitors center. This is my favorite picture of us on the trip.

We had a great trip to Ohio, one of our stops was in Palmyra New York. We went to see where Joseph Smith received his first vision. The Sacred Grove was everything I expected and more. I expected to feel the spirit and enjoy its beauty. The birds and sounds were an extra treat. I did not expect the heat, humidity and mosquitoes. I thought perhaps it would be a little thicker in trees, and brush, but I am glad it wasn't. If it wasn't for the path I am not sure I would have found my way out.
