Fun Times in Utah

No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth, Samuel Jacob and Minda have been visiting Minda's parents in Utah while Alan was off gallivanting in the Gulf of Mexico doing his grad work on a boat. But now we are all together again and visiting more family. We had a lot of fun with Moma and Papa in Pleasant View and visiting with Grandma Montierth and Grandma and Grandpa Fisher, and Richard and Courtney and crew. And now we are enjoying time with Boppus, Grandma Jane, Sarah, Karen and Chris and their boys.
Some things we have been able to do are:
1. Go to the Train museum

2. Visit the Airplane museum
Jacob was a little weary wearing an outfit, but we did get him to wear the helmet.
Sam and Afton loved to dress up like astronauts
