Trains and Rockets

This last summer Mom and Dad Payne came for a visit for a few days. We decided to take a day trip and visit Promontory Point and the rocket display at ATK/Thiokol. We got to Promontory (where the two continental railroads met) just as they were pulling the two trains in to their houses. We watched in awe as these two steam engines rolled passed. What power! On the way back we stopped at the rocket display and looked around. What power those have, too. It is amazing that the displays were only portions of the full rockets even though they were HUGE! Fun times!!!

Big Helpers!

I have such great kids! How many kids seperate their laundry for their mother? And~they just do it. No bribes involved. Really! I really am very blessed to have such great kids!

Our Pet Deer

Zach woke me early one morning to "come check this out". Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I looked outside in the new shed and didn't see anything. It took a minute or two for my eyes to adjust. Once they did, I was definitely awake!~
We were able to pet him and even touch his spikes (very velvety). It wasn't until Zach lifted him up that he finally ran away. It was a fun 5 minutes!
