Sunday Drive




Today was a beautiful day. After so many cold, dark, gloomy days we decided to take a ride. It is that time of year when the Eagles congregate at the Farmington Bay Bird refuge. A lot of other people had the same idea as we did, there were quite a few people with cameras and binoculars in hand. We were able to see several eagles, although they were a ways off we were able to see them through the binoculars.

Eagle Scout Project

For the last month or so, Parker has been working on his Eagle Scout Project. He has been collecting items for the Youth Resource Center in Salt Lake. The center provides services for homeless kids- ages 15-22. They provide food and clothing, but cannot provide overnight shelter. Parker collected sweat pants, underwear, fleece blankets and food. He collected items in the ward and from generous family members and friends. He delivered the donations on February 2, 2011. It was about 20 degrees that day! The people at the shelter were very grateful for all the items and we were glad to be able to help out in a small way. Parker collected just under $1,000 worth of stuff. ( just our estimate.) We are proud of you Parker.
