The River Run on the Snake River in the Jackson Hole country is a summer highlight of the youth of Mink Creek and their leaders. This year a dozen kids were able to participate. Their leaders were Jody Rasmussen, Amy Baldwin, Lacey Christensen and ReNae Egley for the girls. Bishop Paul McKay, Lin McKay, Jared Keller, Jacob Cheney, LaRon Baird and Jesse Wilcox kept track of the guys. There was lots of excitement, lots of fun, and lots of water, and a minimum of injuries from fun activities. It was a great couple of days all the way around.
David and Judy Wilde have had some summer visits from two of their sons. Spencer and Paige Wilde were able to spend twelve days here. It was a first visit for their baby daughter, Aria Loralei Wilde, and playing with her was a treat for the whole family. Spencer and Paige live in Boonsboro, MD. The family group took a tour of the aquarium in Draper, UT. Christopher and Heidi Wilde came up from Utah for the rodeo weekend and they made it a family affair.
Nicole and Nathan Denney and their little girl came down from Rexburg for a few days with her parents, Kent and Tammy Beardall.
Maria and Devin Flake of Orem, UT, brought their son Jude for some play-time with grandparents, Lana and Ivan McCracken. Mink Creek is Jude’s favorite place, all that outdoors holds great appeal.
Celina Groesbeck and her daughter Oakley are enjoying some time with her parents, Phee and Robert Crosland. Celina’s siblings are having fun being Aunts and Uncles to cute, nearly 1 year-old Oakley. Celina and her husband Jesse have been in Seattle where Jesse has been employed for the summer.
It is chokecherry and huckleberry season around here. So far it seems to be a plentiful season, but of course there is always the effort of picking the morsels in order to enjoy the flavors later.
It also is zucchini season and it seems to be a plentiful crop this year. I am glad to have neighbors who share, because my container garden doesn’t work well for them. The grasshoppers may enjoy the greenery but the product survives.
