Another Epic Trip


Tom is good at planning these trips we take to help Kimo drive either to school or drive home and this, being his last drive from Rexburg, was no exception.  Had a good, memorable time visiting family, friends and beautiful sights!  Well done, Tom!

Left Rexburg, then on to Richland to see the Smith's.
Sure miss them!

On to Oak Harbor to visit Paula.  
Love taking the ferry!

Hard to fit all of us in one car, but we did it!
We traded places periodically!

I get all nostalgic for Whidbey.
Love it here in the summer

Right of passage-Kimo found an agate!

Love experiencing Whidbey with Tom

Another right of passage; making pies from 
blackberries you pick yourself

Also love finding rocks, especially at Rosario Beach

Beautiful Rosario

After being on the beach for such a long time, 
the glass is getting worn smaller and smaller

Tabernacle Tour Training

Volunteered to be a tour guide for The Tabernacle Experience and attended training to get ready.  Dr. Parry gave an interesting lecture about the tabernacle and took us on a sample tour.  Tom came along with me, which was a treat! Dr. Parry Tom and I got photo bombed in the Tabernacle! Ark of the Covenant reproduction Note!  These are the vestments for a high priest. who were the only ones allowed into the Holy of Holies  where the Ark of the Covenant was kept  and that, only one high priest, once a year! Noticed that this painting was inaccurate!  This fellow is a priest, but not a high priest, as he isn't wearing all the vestments of a high priest and as a priest, he should not be in the presence of the Ark of the Covenant! Oops! Tabernacle was covered with four layers, as shown Shiny recreation of The Holy Place.
