An Old Friends Reunion

Roasting marshmallows around the fire pit at the Halversen's house.
Audrey, Courtney, and Lauren love the smoke.

It was Makayla Jensen's 14th birthday and her mom is taking a picture.

Either Lauren is camera shy or she has smoke in her eyes.

Makayla Jensen

On our way home from Minersville we stopped in Mapleton, UT and stayed the night with the Halversens. The Jensens joined us and it just so happened to be Makayla's birthday the next day. The Halversens and the Jensens were once Washingtonians and moved back to Utah to be closer to family. When we left Tuesday morning we had to pry Courtney and Lauren away from one another. Zach and Ethan were not as bad but I think there were five or six kids squished in the back seat of the truck. That didn't work - too obvious - so Zach tried to hide Ethan in the dog kennel with Sundance. Then Lauren came running out with an armful of close ready to go home with us. If only we had brought the mini van. We sure do miss the Jensens and the Halversens in the ward and in our daily lives.
