Teen Week


Well, our 3rd annual Teen Week is officially over and we all survived.  We really had a great time, filling every day with fun activities and our special trip to the temple to do baptisms for our deceased ancestors (42 names).  We are going to be very busy during this coming year to complete these names - any volunteers to help?

Besides going to the temple, our week consisted of many activities, such as: riflry, archery, disc golf, service projects (burning wood, delivering meals to shut-ins), pickleball, tennis, go-carts, table tennis, discovering Nauvoo by horse-drawn wagon, looking for ancestors who lived in Nauvoo, finding gravestones of those who died in Nauvoo, 5 minute masterpieces (skits), and learning a new game entitled "American Idol", which
 turned out to be a favorite of all.  This game will be unveiled to the whole family this summer in Wydaho, so get your singing voices in order.  

Thanks go to the parents who have raised such great teens and who support us as grandparents to provide this activity.  We look forward to next year and the addition of yet another teen to the mix.
