Wyoming Trip

We went to Starvalley, Wyoming on August 24th til August 27th. We stayed at my dad's property in our in-laws motorhome. We had so much fun while we were there. We got to ride the 4 wheelers, go swimming, and went to Jackson Hole. While we were there my brother-in-law turned us on to Geocaching. It is like a treasure hunt that you do with a hand held GPS. You look them up on the web for the area you are at. It then gives you the coordinates for different locations of geocaches. Then you can go out and search for the geocache. When you find one there is a log book inside for you to sign and all kinds of different stuff. You can take anything you want out of the box, but you have to replace it with something else. There are also trackable items that you don't keep but you take and move them to a different geocache. You can then watch these items and see where they go. Our kids had so much fun, it was a great new experience. We looked them up on the web for our area and there are a bunch within a 20 mile radius of our house. So now we have a new activity to do when Logan is off track.

While we were at Starvalley we went over to Freedom, Idaho, which is right on the boarder. They have a farm of elk there that you can feed with your kids which was really neat. We also went to the old cemetary there which was cool to see all the old headstones. It was such a great escape to go and getaway for a few days. It was hard to come home, I wish we would have had a few more days to spend there.

Baseball

This friday night, August 31st, it's the American Diabetes Association night at the Orem Owlz Baseball game. Logan gets to throw out the opening pitch at the game. He is really looking forward to it. We have tickets for sale if anyone would like to buy them and go. I know it is a holiday weekend, so if you already have plans no big deal. The game starts at 7:05 p.m. in Orem, and the tickets are $4.00 each. If you want any of the tickets you can make a post or call me at home 679-1300.

Diabetes Walk and Fundraiser

I just want to let everyone know that on Saturday August 18th we are going to be doing a fundraiser for the "Step Out for Diabetes" walk. We are going to having it at my house, 5478 Ticklegrass Rd. West Jordan, Ut. We will have raffle items, bake goods, food and more. We are doing the fundraiser to help raise money for the ADA ( American Diabetes Association ) to find a cure for Diabetes. I hope some of you can come by and check it out.

Our family will also be participating in the actual walk on the 29th of September. Our goal as a family/team is to raise at least $3,000 for the walk. Last year our team brought in $2,452, we are hoping to pass that this year. We also want to have as many people as possible to walk with us on our team. It is a great cause and a fun event for the whole family. The walk takes place at This is the Place Heritage Park and ends at the Hogle Zoo. If you would like to check out any of our teams page you can go to www.diabetes.org/walk. Our team name is Logan's Family and Friends. I hope you can check it out, we had so much fun last year. Thanks for everyone's love and support, it means so much to Logan and our whole family.
