The family of Karl Haws brought him to Mink Creek from California to celebrate Fathers' Day. The perfect gift in this case. All of his children were able to be here except Max who had scheduled a cruise long before. It was so fun to have them all here. For now Kasey lives in Mink Creek, Lauren in the area, but the rest did some traveling: Peter, Adam, Aaron, Andrea. Mink Creek is second home to the whole bunch.
Hazen Baird, the son of LaRon and Liesa Baird, has received a mission call to serve in the Chile, Vin`a del Mar Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will begin the home mission training program in October. Hazen will be speaking Spanish and will later go to the MTC in Mexico City.
The first Family Night at the Ballpark for the summer of 2025 was attended by around 60 people, all ages. Sloppy Joes were provided for dinner and it was potluck for side dishes and desserts. There are always interesting choices to be made with the offerings, salads, chips, pickles, etc. Cookies, cakes, sometimes even a pie. Some had brought board games, others games that could be played in the grassy areas of the park. It was a great night and there is anticipation for the next one. We like being together.
Summer goes with family reunions. The Harley and Lima Jepsen family gathered at the Mink Creek Ballpark for this family event. Eighty-four Jepsens were able to be in attendance. The group later met at the family farm, now home to Michael and MaryAnn Jepsen. The children of Harley and Lima are Eleanor, Carolyn, Lee Ann, Michael, Jonathan and Susan. Activities were plentiful, one many tried was that of climbing “Harley's Hill”, eastward, at least to the banks of the canal. Family heritage stories and lessons were shared.
The amazing July 4th celebration is a wrap and already it feels like it is mid-July with everyone talking about the coming Preston's Famous Night Rodeo. Summer seems to just go scooting at a fast pace.
