Off-roading Grandma

Peter went on a Boy Scout campout this weekend to the Priesthood Restoration site. While we were discussing those plans, I realized that the visitor's center was new enough that Grandma hadn't been. So on Saturday morning we drove up. We arrived shortly before the scouts left and said a quick hello to Peter before he carried on with his plans.

There was quite a bit of snow and lots of walking outside, so we were concerned about how Grandma would get around. Thankfully, they had a special off-roading Jazzy, which meant Grandma traveled in style. The helpful senior missionary couple that gave us a tour were thoroughly impressed with Grandma's get-up-and-go.

We had to remind Sophie to give Grandma a wide space to drive so as to avoid any vehicle pedestrian collisions.

The air was cold, but we moved briskly enough that we didn't get too chilly between buildings.

Here's Grandma in Emma Smith's father Isaac Hale's home.

It was a wonderful adventure and just the right length of time. We got back to town a few minutes after the scouts so we were able to retrieve our exhausted Peter from the church.

My favorite part of the day was when the sister missionary asked the kids if they had a favorite scripture from the Book of Mormon. They recited our family scripture, Moroni 7:45, from memory. I hadn't realized they had it all memorized and hearing them made my heart happy.
