Another Successful Hunt for Scott

On Saturday morning Scott and Austin went up on "Monte" to check out the elk. He had been the morning before with his brother Jay and they saw nothing. So up an hour earlier the next day proved to be the "key". By 7:15, they had this bad boy down!

A Bingham Family Reunion

Last Wednesday evening we hosted a cookout for ALL the Binghams. My sister Cindy and her husband Brad were in town from Minnesota; so it was a perfect time to get together. Everyone that was living in the Ogden area came. We had a full backyard.Scott cooking our chicken.

The swings, trampoline and airplane kept the kids entertained.

Brad, my brother Dennis, my brother Gary, and Scott

The 4 Bingham siblings. Now the oldest generation of the "Glen Bingham" family.

Grandma needs more swings

Yesterday, while their parents were at the Temple dedication; we watched Kate, Kaycee, Hannah, Reagan, Cameron and James. What happens when everyone wants to swing at once?

You "share" a swing!

A weekend at Brian Head and Flannigan's Arch

After a nice dinner Friday night at Senator Stowell's house in Parawan; we met up on top of Brian Head Peak for a traditional breakfast of Bacon, eggs and pancakes.

The wind was blowing pretty hard up that high

Me getting ready for the 4-wheeler ride. It was pretty dusty.

Scott climbed down to the arch and is now standing on top of it.

Scott helped Senator Van Tassel with a wonderful dutch oven lunch of barbeque ribs, salad, cheesy potatoes and baked beans. It was fun to spend time with these guys on a more relaxed setting than in suits at the capital. Thanks to the Stowells for a wonderful weekend.

Jenkins Family reunion at Paradise Springs

Bear Lake on the 24th of July!

Kenidee was so good to play with the little kids this year. Here she is building a "castle" with Kaycee.

The boys spent the whole 2 days driving trucks.

This year the water is so high that you have to wade through mucky grass and knee deep water before you even get to the strip of sandbar we called "the beach". Thank goodness for the Rhino that can drive through water. It carried our shades and cooler from the cars.

Scott with Addison. This is her first year at the beach.

A fun time was had by all!

Our time in Portland, Oregon

This Last Friday, we went to Portland for a conference that Scott needed to attend.
We took Jay and Barbara with us; and was SO grateful that they could come.

We happened upon an "Electric" car show. Pretty cool stuff for buzzing around town.

We drove up the Mt. Hood. They were grooming the slopes for the next days skiers. In fact they do more business in the summer months with skiing than they do in the winter.

The night lodge where it would be cool to spend a night.

We took a speed boat ride down the river to view all the ships that were loading and unloading on the Columbia river getting ready to head out to the ocean.
Notice all the grey clouds in every one of these pictures. We hardly ever saw blue skies.
Shorts and flip flops were the WRONG thing to bring on this trip!
