Frazier leaves for his Mission

 We're excited to see Frazier off at the airport to travel to Provo to begin his training at the MTC. Originally, he was scheduled to train in Sao Paolo, but he has yet to receive his visa.

Frazier hasn't flown a lot, and he was nervous. But the TSA agent gave him an encouraging smile and wished him good luck.

Grandma and Grandpa picked him up at the Salt Lake airport and brought him to Provo.

Even Katie was there to wish him well. Off he goes!

Easter 2013

 Another Sunny Easter Sunday is a miracle. Every other day is cloudy and rainy and somehow when it's time for hunting eggs, brilliant sunshine. Notice the Halloween bucket. They're in it for the candy.

Hike on Frailey Mountain

 Paul took the scouts out to Frailey Mountain in Snohomish County for a Saturday hike. Shane came with him on this one. Jackson, Greg, and Alex enjoyed the exercise, but Paul said he paid for it with soreness for the following week. Dave Zinkand took all these pictures.

Snow Day

 It is really coming down outside. I hope we keep the power on. Often the weight of the snow will take out a power line and since we are at the end of the island, we're the last to get it back.

We've collected 5" and it's still accumulating. If the wind doesn't blow, the trees look magical. I hope we don't have too many limbs break.
