Our Missionary Group Picnic August 6, 2012

 
I know you all are sick of seeing bike rides by now! 
 
This is about a picnic we had with the group of missionaries we started with in September 2011.  Several of them will return home this month, toward the end of the month.  Several of the single missionaries provided the food for this social outing in the woods at Mill Creek Canyon.  It was so nice to be in the woods and have it be cooler!

This is Anna Miller, Pat Strange and Roberta Daniels, with Linda Marks in the background..  Anna Miller is returning home this month.

This is James & Carol Sullinger, zone leaders in the International floor of the Family History Library.  Vernon Marks is a zone leader in the British floor of the library. We have great missionaries in our group!

This is Lola Glaszczak and Anna Miller.  They are both going home this month.

After eating and everyone leaving that night, we headed up to thew top of the canyon.  As we rounded a curve we saw this deer who seemed unafraid of us.  It was near dusk which is the best time to see wildlife.


She is sure beautiful!

When we were at the top of the canyon we saw many wildflowers.  This is just one.

and another...

and another...

and a bunch of seeds.  (Remind you of Christmas? -Red & Green)

This scene is on top as the sun is going down.

We were able to get into the canyon for free but had to pay to get down!  This shows the ticket booth where we paid by carload.

Last but not least is a sunflower, which grows wild all over the West!
