Halloween ’10

Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:57:41 -0600

This year we were able to find some classic golf attire with a little help from Desert Industries, where even a discarded baptismal outfit could be converted to a caddy uniform. The most difficult task would be locating a green sports coat to mimic that of the coveted green jacket, exclusively reserved for the winners of the greatest golf tournament in the world, the Masters. Unfortunately, the coat was too tall of an order for even the D.I.’s agglomeration and just when it seemed our entourage would not include the beauty of a rye green jacket for our Masters’ winner, Laura’s dad came through with a rare and very closely mimicking beauty, from where else - but his own closet.

Salmon Run ’10

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:35:55 -0600

Besides major holidays and birthdays, the Kokanee Salmon run up the Little Bear River above Porcupine Reservoir is about the only other annual event you can count on our family celebrating.

This year we took our neighbors with us to enjoy the scenic drive amongst the beautiful fall colors of the canyon and to observe the penultimate scene of these salmon parents, now a deep rich red color, fighting their way upstream to mate and give birth to their offspring in a touching act of sacrifice before succumbing to the fatigue of their journey and dying.

Ken seeks to capture the impressive struggle of the fish upstream.

Pig Party ’10

Sat, 11 Sep 2010 14:13:45 -0600

Thanks to the great influence of a few polynesian “brothers,” we are lucky enough to have in our ward, we are able to enjoy a slow roasted polynesian style pig each summer for our annual Elder’s quorum pig social.

This year we hosted the event in our own backyard, but besides providing the venue, everything from the sides, refreshments and entertainment were provided by the rest of the neighborhood faithful.

Galoon ’10

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:33:42 -0600

Although we spent the first half an hour of our trip to Lagoon dodging a downpour and scurrying through gift shops to purchase plastic ponchos, we spent the rest of the day in relatively calm weather; avoiding many of the inevitable long lines of a day with ideal climate conditions.
