June Updates

It's been a while since we have uploaded any pictures from our camera, so Ken and I thought we ought to update the blog before the month was over. On father's day this month, Ken requested a fancy dinner. So I cooked the best I could and made a downsized traditional Kindt family Sunday dinner. It was really fun and the gravy actually thickened this time!


Last Sunday, we finally got together with some of our freshman year friends. Jacob was Ken's roommate and Clarissa was my neighbor and Ken's FHE sister. And despite these close relations, Ken hadn't seen their three month old baby girl yet. It was really wonderful to play games and talk with them after so long.


But the big exciting update for today is our fun CAMPING TRIP. Our ward planned a camping trip down in the Unita National forest. It was close, beautiful, and perfect for getting to know the other ward members better.
We drove down with the Hepworths.

Me and Abi Jo

Foil dinners



Hammock fun (we brought it to perhaps sleep in, but it ended up being a fun toy for the kids!)

Breakfast


It was so fun to get out of Provo and take a mini-vacation even if it was just for a night.

Today, Ken and I went to the start of the freedom festival at the Marriott Center. It featured a local rabbi, Stephen R. Covey, Michael Ballam, and Glenn Beck. The evening was very patriotic and was centered on what they called the core American values: family, freedom, God and country. Afterwards, we tried to get to the floor to meet some of the people there, but by the time we got down from our spot (where we had our first date and where Ken proposed) all the famous people were gone. It's understandable as the Marriott was filled!

So just thought I'd let you know that I found your blog and added it to my RSS feed so I can see when you update! A belated welcome to the blogging world. The ward camping trip was tons of fun. Also it makes for a funny story that I went into labor 2 days after we got back!
