a time to play

Last Thursday Tiffany, Erin, and I went horse back riding. It was a lot of fun. I thought a lot about my Grandpa Mackley and his love of horses. It was a beautiful ride. I have pictures on my phone, ask if you want to see them.

After our ride Tiffany wanted to make us dinner. Baked Ziti. I would have declined had I needed to go to work the next day. However, I went along. It was fun to visit and spend extra time with them. After dinner, a short rest, and quick packing I headed out to Bruneau to meet my family for a camp out.

Papabear helped the kids work on their casting skills prior to go to the pond.

Our family likes playing cards.

Kevin Tent

Apparently Kevin didn't think his family was putting up heir second tent fast enough and decided to do it.

looking at the sun

We went out to the observatory Friday afternoon to get a tour prior to that evenings star gazing.

We also got to look at the sun through a special telescope. First we had to get the sun to come out and play.

It was a beautiful night. The sky was clear, we could see the stars, moon, and some planets. I chose to not sleep in a tent. It was a really windy night. I waited for the sun to begin peeking up over the mountain before getting up. After a short walk I settled down by the fire and began the day with Smore's.

Temple

After coming home and having lunch I took a good shower and joined the Mountain Home Single's branch on a trip to Twin Falls to tour the new temple.
