We took Jaimee, Brandon, Spencer, and Preston to the zoo. Jaimee told us she had to sit in the back because she wanted her “privacy”. Brandon said his dad is very “annoying”—he tells funny jokes all the time. Spencer’s reading ability was absolutely amazing. He read all the signs. He read one sign that said something like “Show the animals respect and dignity by being quiet and respectful”. Jaimee said to me and Preston, “You fools, you missed the birds”. At another event this month Jaimee told me that I will die before her but she will miss me.
Marilyn Pettingill, one of our old friends in North Salt Lake, died this week. It was very unexpected. She was our age. We went to see Ric, her husband. I was reminded of the great humility in our ward in North Salt Lake. There isn’t the kind of vanity in that area that there is amongst some in Centerville. We saw some old friends at the funeral—Chambers, Woods, Adams, Arla Westinskow, Chatmans, etc.
Robin and Richard visited this weekend. We went on a bike ride with them, went on a drive with them, went to the Temple, and went on a hike with them up Centerville Canyon to see petrogliphs. Here are some pictures of the trip:
