There is something about water that is irresistible to a young child. It is cold, fluid and there is an unlimited supply. All of it equals fun. Learning about these things while in the forest is a valuable part of education. I remember spending may hours digging little trenches in the dirt and running water water down the miniature ditches. We built dams and carefully watch as they failed. It was useful information when, as a teenager, I flood irrigated field of grain and sugar beets.

Logan said he could lift a pole that held up part of the shelter. I didn’t believe him, but, look, he actually did it! (With a little help from photoshop.)

Last week, I went on drive through Yellowstone with the Tatlows and Lewis’s. It was a great trip.

Our church held an outdoor activity at the Larsen Farm.

While out cruising for photographs, I found this amazing place near Provo, Utah. Someone is collecting old gas station and gas pumps. This is just a small portion of what he has on display.

Every year, there is a ham radio festival in Xenia, near Dayton, Ohio, with thousands of booths, displays, and vendors, all dealing with various aspects of Amateur Radio. I took many photos but this was the most interesting. Hams are both national and international. They support their country, their  local and national governments, and spread goodwill to all nations. Sometimes, a ham radio operator will talk to someone on the other side of the world, and he can do it with only 100 watts of power. To learn more, go to ARRL.org.

The stakes will prepare the noon day meal for the missionaries when there is a zone conference. Here, the missionaries sing for the food preparers, their small way of returning thanks for a good meal.
