I grew up in the Midvale East 4th ward
(Church boundary) and each year the members would drive to storm mountain for
an annual bbq dinner and ward party.
There were always a variety of activities offered to each age group -
though the teenagers (for the most part) would forego any planned activity and
try their hand at hiking to Doughnut Falls - and often succeeding.
Before Kayla was born, the location had
changed from Big Cottonwood Canyon to Wheeler Farm - which actually was a
shorter drive and more family oriented, but not totally a big hit with the
teenagers. We hadn't taken into account
that Wheeler Farm was a safer and more practical area overall.

I have seen this photo attached to two blogs; I don't
know who to give credit to for taking it. I think it's
a great representation but I will remove the picture
if the artist asks me to.

I think I appreciated it more after I
became a mother. I have many scrapbook pages
of Jenna and Wheeler Farm all from different years. Her most favorite thing to visit was (and I
think still is) the farm equipment.
On Friday, Randy had suggested that
spend some time there as it is free and it would perhaps help Biff to cope and
move on. It was the only overly warm day
we had this last week. It was the only
day when the wind wasn't blowing.
Tony and Rochelle had been unwilling or
unable to meet us as her brother was getting married the following day and then
moving out to Pennsylvania. Bittersweet
memories of when Tony and Rochelle moved to Texas right after they were
married.

in addition to the tractors, Jenna has always had her picture
taken as she looks through window in the clubhouse

There were many things I hadn't seen before including this;
Jenna was in Granite School District the entire time we lived in Utah
