The visitors from the desert have been keeping us well entertained. Daniel and Katy have been stopping by just about every evening to visit and to tell the boys some rousing bedtime stories. Gavin and Maren's niece, Hannon, came to Sunday dinner. She is going to Natal, Brasil on a mission and we feted her with a Brazilian dinner. Phillip has headed to Hawaii. And we had a splendid outing in SLC, visiting the Natural History Museum and its neighbor to the south, the Hogle Zoo.
