UEA in Logan and Idaho

For UEA we had a good time visiting Krystal and Austin and Rachel in Idaho Falls. We played frisbee golf, and hiked to Crestcreek. It was beautiful! We stopped off in Logan and spent a night with Brandon and Mandee and Brenna and went to a corn maze and spookey barn ride! It was a joy to see our cute family and grandbabies! Stephanie just got a new job at the local movie theatre. She was scheduled to work all UEA! We missed her!

Monson Family Reunion

Monson's gathered at Lagoon on July 17th for Aggie Alumni Day and free Aggie ice cream. We

Here's the first amusement park rides for our grandbabies on the Carousel. Whee!

Below is the Monson's at the Wild Kingdom Train Ride.

Five Generations!

Our mother's Day celebration included pictures of five generations. Pictured above from left to right is (the proud grandmother of Brenna Marie) Leslie Monson, great-great-grandfather of Brenna--Jack Larson (age 98), Brandon Monson holding his daughter, Brenna Marie Monson, and Sandra Anderson (great grandmother of Brenna). What a mother's day treat to have them all here at our home for dinner and pics!

Grandma Georgie and Leslie in Canyonlands

Canyonlands is definately worth seeing. We're overlooking Upheaval Dome behind and below us. It's a wonder and mystery how it got there. This was our two-day jaunt to Moab. We met up with Austin and Krystal & Rachel our first day in Arches. Pics of Arches are forthcoming.

Spring Break getaway - Capital Reef State Park

First Place Freedom Festival Speech Contest

Stephanie participated in the Freedom Festival Speech Contest held in Provo, Utah, and she won first place in the Junior Division. She had to write and present her own speech. There was a cash prize of $250.00 for the first place winner. She's thrilled that she now has gas money!
Congratulations Stephanie!

Spring Break in Capitol Reef !

Back country hiking in the scenic park of Capital Reef left the Monson family hikers euphoric after reaching their destination of Natural Bridge. Paul, Stephanie, and Jared Monson are enjoying some shade as they rest up for the next leg of the journey.
