Easter in Mink Creek this year dawned with snow, sleet, and slush, all depending on where you were located in terms of elevation. That is how it works in the community. But it was a great weekend for people coming home and being together.
Kim and Sam Daines and their daughters were up from Lehi, UT, soaking up some village time and adding joy to the day of Kim’s mother, Judy Clark. Devin and Maria Flake and son Jude expanded the ranks of the Baird family, particularly with Lana McCracken and Nathan Baird, but stretching out to LaRon and Liesa Baird’s family.
Dane and Rebecca Jones and Clara made a long trip from Washougal, WA, for some time with her parents, Johnny and Jeannine Iverson. The Jones family lived for a year in Mink Creek so even without Mink Creek roots, this was a homecoming for them.
Tiffany and Spencer Wheeler of Parma, ID, brought their children, Hudson and Charlotte, home to grandmother Candy Longhurst so she could introduce them to the fun of farm chores and animals.
Mink Creek will always be home for Wes and Heather Hansen of Ogden. The Hansen House near the mouth of Mink Creek is a frequent host of Hansen siblings.
Ami Fenton and her family shared Easter traditions with her parents, Eldon and Danita Wilcox.
Easter activities combined with birthdays for some celebrating for Jimmie and Anna Beth Olson’s bunch. Jerry and Christine Olson and daughters came up from Santa Clara, UT. C J Peterson, a grandson, joined the group.
LaMar and Claudine McKague are enjoying living closer to three of their children. They had Sage and Nathan Ricks down from Rexburg, Ethan McKague from Lehi, UT, and Jarin and Brynlee McKague and sons from Idaho Falls, visit on separate weekends recently.
David and Melanie Law, part-time residents with one foot in Utah, the other in Mink Creek, brought a good group of family to spend these special days.
As the holiday weekend approached many residents wondered how to make plans with the regularly changing weather. As reported it appears there was a good mix of both indoor and outdoor plans made, always with some flexibility.
The youth of the Mink Creek ward made a trip to Pocatello, ID, for a visit to the Pocatello Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After their activities there they enjoyed homemade cinnamon rolls produced from the kitchens of their local leaders. It was a sweet experience for all connected, in all aspects.
