One afternoon the girls and I hiked up Rock Canyon with Jasper in the baby bjorn. It was gorgious, though quite hot again, and we all enjoyed. That evening we picked up Josh from the SLC airport and then next morning we went first to go see the Oquirrh Mountain temple on the inside with all the kids. This was a very special opportunity for all of us, but especially for the girls as they have learned about temples at church, and that you can become an eternal family by getting married there, but they had never been able to go inside one. This is only possible for young children before a temple is dedicated, which was the case here. They were reaslly impressed adn learned a lot, simply by looking and reading the signs explaining what each room was for. It was a very special experience. Following that, we went to BYU to go bowling, some birthday shopping for Kailey (cousin) and then we hiked up the 'Y'. The Y is quite a steep hike up the mountain which was a nice work-out for all of us. The girls did really well, though Sofia was complaining of being tired and appeared to be be sick the next day, poor Fietje. We still all enjoyed it very much and the girls were really proud of themselves, as they should!
That night, Jackie and Simon and their family had arrived home, it was so fun to see them again! I especially love showing off Jasper for the first time to my friends, as he was such a miracle (once again, thanks to Dr. Sherbahn). We went to church with their family the next morning, and spent the rest of the afternoon on an absolutely beautiful hike in Alta, with many wild-flowers. As Sofia was sick, I carried her most of the way, with help from Jackie (Josh was carrying Jonkje). Only the pictures can show the beauty. It was so good to see Jackie and simon again, sure hope we can maintain seeing eachother at least once a year! Thank you so much guys for letting us use your house too, whata treat!
