Mountain air in the morning up AF Canyon and laughing in the evening at Wise Guys with Jenna Kim Jones. Mountain air and laughing are some of my very favorite things so it was a good Friday.

 Have a mentioned I like living by the park? And that I like warm weather?

With the Biblers in town we had a zoo trip.  The zoo was less appealing than the last time we went but we loved the baby gorilla.  So cute!  We also enjoyed the young snow leopards, tiger, and red panda.  Mostly enjoyed walking and chatting with everyone in the beautiful weather.

Did you know that Cam's favorite animal is a polar bear? And that Annelise and I are birthday besties?

Hearing birds singing in the morning makes me so happy.

I love my little life. Other things I’m thankful for this week in addition to Ephraim, Snow College, having a sleepover with my grinds, having their friendship for 33 years, all our softballs memories, watching softball with them and remember that we were pretty good, laughing and laughing as we added more memories, and playing softball at Snow “in the early 90’s”:

Darren. Having Cam and Sade around.  Sadie’s art displayed. Seeing Ry and Cole for a minute. Alma 7. Sunday dinners in South Jordan. Seeing the Biblers. 

Here we are yesterday on the field we played on at Snow.  

The picture below is from when we won the conference championship in the spring of 1993 on the same field.  (With a shaving cream celebration.)  These two pictures are at the same place just 32 years apart. (I'm the third from the left on the bottom row.)

We had such a great time in Ephraim! At the game they announced that there was Snow College alumni from the early 90's watching the game. We stood up and waved to the extremely limited applause. Good thing we’re confident in our old softball expertise. They had to add “early” to the 90's? Ha ha. 

Besides watching games we also drove up the canyon to find our camping spot from long ago, ate at Roy’s pizza, stayed in a cute grandma house Airbnb with an orphan room with 4 single beds, played a game where my friends know me better than I know myself, went to Walmart for ice cream and cookies, watched a movie, ate a yummy breakfast (that took forever) at Routes 89 Grill, teased Tara about forgetting the cookies, and went for a morning Ephraim walk. 

This was such a wonderful two days with these guys. Not very many people know this part of my life and it was awesome to remember it with those who were there. It feels like another life and yet I have so many memories from this time of life and met my lifelong friends. So very thankful for these friends. And so very happy we have stayed connected and see each other so we can keep making more memories.

Where did I go this weekend? I took a trip down memory lane. :)

I’m in Ephraim with Mary, Tara, and Patty. Already we’re having the best time. Our mini reunion turned even mini-er as the others canceled. At first I was mad, then frustrated, and now who cares because they’re the ones missing out. Bo is joining us tomorrow. We have so many good times with just the 4 of us so I’m sure the others would have felt left out. Ha ha. Love, love watching some softball with these friends. Paige (Bo’s daughter) hit a lead off home run for us. We laughed and reminisced all day. Mary was making me laugh extra hard today.
