We spent the end of September and the first part of October in Santa Fe with Anna and Rob's excellent children. They are very self-sufficient; we merely cooked and washed clothes, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We had some fun adventures along the way.

This was another fabulous visit, although we missed visiting at length with Anna and Rob because we headed home early in the morning and they returned at midnight that night. We are now back to normal life in Provo and this is all for now.
