Today was a landmark day for the Dastrups. For the first time we had a child participating in the Primary Program in Sacrament Meeting! Benjamin was very nervous about sitting up on the stand and talking in front of everyone (having missed all of the practices in the chapel while we were in Utah), and when the big moment arrived, Benjamin peeked over the top of the pulpit and paused... and then proceeded to confidently recite his part ("Pray every day."). It was a proud moment for Brigham and myself. His singing during the program left room for much improvement, but perhaps that was due to the fact that he was trying so hard to wink at me!

In some ways this trail was better than Sundance, in other ways it wasn't as good. Namely that it has a good 30-40 minutes of climbing before you get to any downhill (Sundance has a lift, negating the need to climb). Climbing uphill on a bike for 30 minutes wears you out fast. I had to take a few breathers. I think I took a few wrong turns too. But, what wants to go down must go up first. I wish I could relate to you how much fun it is to bike on mountain trails, particularly the downhill ones . Flat are good too, but downhill is a blast. You go through the forest, over streams, thro...
