This shot of the Timpanogos Temple tries to catch the full moon over the Wasatch Mountains. The hand-held camera does't make a very clear picture. The temple is very near the Bagley residences where both the Grahams and us Fishers stayed.

We found this amusing sight as we got lost on our way to the 'Boondocks' Amusement Park. It shows the burned roof of a fire station. Don and Rick drove most of the 12 kids from the two youthful families to the park to drive race cars, bumper boats, and do various other activities.

Another day we took the families to Temple Square and took in various visitor's centers such as the new Conference building and such.

This is the new church conference center. It seats 21,000 people and is most elegant and impressive.

Rose & I excused ourselves from the Salt Lake City tour to travel about an hour south to Springville where we visited with these relatives. Reva (Rose's cousin) is recovering from a battle with cancer and doing very well.

After a nice supper out, Mike and Reva took us for a ride up the canyon behind Springville, Spanish Fork, etc. Here the Taylors own some 'retreat' property which is close to Mike's beloved home territory.
