August 30th Joseph & I hit the Lake to jet ski & paddle board. Recently I purchased a paddle board. Lucky for us it's inflatable. After some experimenting a bit, we figured out we could tie the board to the back of the jet ski and take it down into the canyon. Hot days, cool water, beautiful scenery, and fresh air. Love seeing the Herons and Mt. Sheep. Took much more balance and leg muscles than I thought, but after a couple of trips, I got it figured out. :D Joseph did too!

We travel Utah to visit our daughter and her family. We hike Logan Canyon at Spring Hollow, check into Quality Inn hotel, visit a farm, have an outing at Tony Grove Lake, and visit with the fam at their home.

Joseph & I stay at our son's place before heading home to AZ. While there we join in on Kaylee's B-day Party, visit my good friends Gini & Mitch, and my cousins Denise & Joneel. We also drove out to see Elexis again as well as Zach on Sunday after attending church with Nicole & the kids.

We travel to Idaho to visit several daughters and their families. Lots of fun times with the grandkids. Places we went were the Idaho Falls Zoo, Blacktail Lake, & Yellowstone Nat Park.

Along our Kid Tour we stop in and visit Merrill's in Utah. Lots of fun including a pony ride at the park.

Joseph installed patio misters at our Arizona home. Then my daughter comes to visit, jet ski, exercise, hot tub and just spend a relaxing few days before she starts back to her teaching Special Ed Pre-school. We spend time with my two brothers and family-time dinners.

Second child we visit on our Summer Kid Tour, our Eldest Son in Utah.

On our Kid Tour, during July, 2023, we visit Elixis, our Granddaughter, daughter of my eldest daughter, Sandra. I take her my massage table as she is interested in learning massage therapy. She collects elephants, so I gift her an elephant I found during our visit in Thailand. She gives us a tour of their place and introduces us to her cat. Then we go visit our son Kevin in Salt Lake City. We grab lunch at Costa Vida then do some hiking in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

June 26th, 2023, Son Daniel brings the Fam to Arizona to visit on their way up to the Grand Canyon & Idaho. He brought his new truck and pull-behind camper-trailer. We check it out. We in invite my Bro and his wife over for dinner and celebrate my birthday a little late with cake & ice cream. :D

We stop in Wyoming for the 4th of July to spend with our daughter and her family during our Kid Tour. Boating, fireworks, chickens, swimming. . . what a hoot! Boating at Big Elk, Palisades.

I take a minute to snorkel the Blue Hole in Kosrae. It was in the morning while the tide was higher, but the visibility was terrible! There was some fun fish to see, not much coral, and they say there are rays that hang out there. I sure didn't see any. I tried to make this short video as good as possible . . . not my best project, that's for sure. The best thing from this is the $2.00 I found at the bottom in the sand that I had to dive down to get.

Daughter & husband come to visit us here in Arizona :D

I visit my #3 daughter that lives in Wyoming. Kids Easter party had the first Easter Egg Hunt I've ever seen on a mountain of snow! :O That's a first for me. Irish Wolfhound, Chickens, and kids that are learning Jiu-Jitsu. What fun! :D

My grand-dog Harley was taught by my Grand-daughter to close the back door. Way. Cute!

They stay a few days, visit the San Tan Mt Regional Park with it's small museum, the Arizona National History Museum in Mesa, and enjoyed the park, swimming, and hot tubbing at our home. Can't wait till they come again!
