Lots of Picnics

Summer is picnic time in the Tri-Cities. The stake did the 24th of July celebration and then LIGO had a summer picnic.

The 24th of July picnic celebrates the Mormon pioneers entering the Salt Lake valley. The stake up here went all out at one of the state parks.

Our little pioneer, she even has a bonnet.

Emmy and Daddy played the ring toss game. We even got one!

Panning for pyrite. The real stuff is too expensive.

Emmy helped Mommy find some.

LIGO had a summer picnic as well. We have some great people there, so it is nice to get out with them in a non-work environment. Emmy made a few friends as well.

I love little incongruities like this.

Remember, no swimming around the dock.

The Columbia was a little bit nippy. But Emmy still liked to splash in it.
