Play dough time.
The swing set in the back yard is a wonderful place to play.
Public parks are great places to swing.
The weather was just perfect for playing outside in the sand. .”
They are becoming excellent pianists.
Ivy and Ruby performed in their school musical Willie Wonka Jr. Ruby was Agusta Gloop, and Ivy was Matilda (Wonka’s kid). So fun watching them do what they love.
Ruby looks a lot like Katrina did when she was that age.
Construction continues on Temple Square even with all the closures because of the COVID-19 virus.
They are digging down under the foundation of the temple to stabilize it in case of an earthquake.
Church meetings have been cancelled but gospel learning continues with to Come Follow Me curriculum. Ruby and Emily are preparing talks which they shared with the Bainbridge family via Zoom on Sunday. Utah public schools are closed for the next two weeks and may rely on technology to help the students learn.
Because Neal will be teaching his BYU-I classes via Zoom we had a Sunday meeting to learn how the technology works. Daniel is well prepared with his microphones and green screen.
We listened to the YouTube message of comfort from President Russell M. Nelson.
It was delightful to interact with the various families in Idaho, Arizona, and Utah.
In the afternoon we had family dinner for the Utah families. Kim and Talisa made this delicious butterscotch cake.
Amelia loves to take pictures.
James, John, Grant, and Ethan enjoy a rousing pillow fight!

Checking on the fish is an important thing. Kira's fish Tiny is now the second largest fish in the tank.
It's hard to say good-bye and easy to try for just one more round of tag.
Mark and Kristilyn replaced the fence on the west of their property. They built and stained it themselves.
Good-bye until next time! We love you! Keep safe! Be kind!
