I was up early to begin preparing for the meal I want to feed Jared and his kids before they leave today. I put a roast in the crockpot with some bbq sauce. I boiled some potatoes and eggs and made a potato salad.
It was a busy morning. Sacrament meeting was very crowded as it always is on Memorial day in Vernon. We were lucky to find seats in the front next to Kilee Hunsaker and her family. Trenda Wilhelm was the youth speaker today. She spoke on appearance and dress from For the Strength of Youth and did a great job. Marilyn Tice and Clint Pope were the other speakers. Jared's kids went to their classes and I never heard a complaint. They have them trained well. In Sunday School we learned about the building and dedication of the Kirkland temple. Kaeli taught the lesson in Young Women on the importance of a testimony. We got approval for our trip to the valley on the 23rd so we announced it to the girls. I told them they had to be up on their Book of Mormon reading and we are calling it our Book of Mormon and Personal Progress retreat. We will be staying at our timeshare in Scottsdale.
We had a nice lunch before Jared and kids left. BBQ beef sandwiches, potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cob and ice cream for dessert. Jared cleaned the kitchen while James and I took the kids up to the swing. Of course James knows exactly where it is. Here are some pictures:

Not a normal Sunday activity but we had to make an exception
this time.

Emmy's turn.
This girl is a daredevil!
As soon as we got back to the cabin it was time for Jared's family to leave. Tricia is anxious to have them home. She didn't come because they are moving in two weeks and she wanted to get some things done.
James and I lay down for a nap. This evening we studied. I read Jacob 5 and am trying to devise a way to teach what it means to my young women.
