High on a mountain top...

...is where we experienced one of many highlights for the weekend.

We took a little break from the family gathering and drove up the mountains. It was beautiful! AJ made it all the way up, no problem. I bet your car isn't as cool as AJ.  We saw a few deer and elk. And then had fun racing back down the mountain because we had Mama's video camera and she wanted it back ASAP. :)

We spent the weekend in Richfield, UT for a family reunion (Stolworthy's, we're sorry we missed the big party!). David's family put together a time capsule ten years ago and they decided to open it up. It was fun reading everyone's letter to themselves and seeing what objects they put in. David's letter consisted of his family members, hunting (of course!), and in particular what he and his brother Zach did a day previous to writing the letter- shooting a snake! (and something about lizards too). Near the end of his letter, he wrote how much he loved his dad (ironic that we opened it up on Father's Day), and then finished with his testimony. His letter finished with "in the name of Jesus Christ, amen." hah. It was awesome.
Also, 3 years after the original capsule was made, the family put in a few more things. Each kid had a piece of paper to fill out with their name, hobbies, favorite things, etc. The last question was: where will you be in ten years? David's answer: be married. Truly shocking! David had been professing that he would not get married for years, YEARs, after his mission. Apparently, he secretly wished the exact opposite. And lucky him! His wish was granted and he wed less than a year after his mission. funny!
Preston's answer, though, for that question was the favorite: Be a man, and work for the railroad. You got a few more years for that one, Prest!
