Val & Collette Cook Family

On April 21, 1984 Val and I started off on our adventure of married life.  Well we have been adventuring for thirty years and more in love than when we started.  Over the years we have learned that taking time out of our busy lives is important so we started going on anniversary trips.  This year I wanted to do something big like go to Hawaii. well as we looked into Hawaii we decided we needed at least a week to do it justice and we didn't have time right now so I planned a far more exciting trip. to Mono Lake California.  The ocean was enticing but I wanted a new place but not to much traveling so I found a place I hadn't been before. The travel there was long because we had to drive through the snow and put on chains. Our goal for this trip was to have fun be together and take photos, so we stopped often and took photos. i'm putting most of the photos on my photo blog. I'm putting the snapshots on this blog that tell the story of our trip.  Here is the vie

After a day of travel we made it to Utah and got to see the boys before they went to bed.  they had been watching our progress on their iPad so they knew where we were.  When we got to their house Colin was asleep in his swing no one else was there. we looked high and low and found them in the back under the porch hiding from us.  Friday we all went to Salt Lake to pick up Emma from the airport who had had her own adventure with the young women in our ward.  We went to Temple Square. Standing in the place we were engaged 30 years ago. That evening we decorated Easter eggs. Everyone had fun dyeing the eggs and even fingers. Saturday morning we had three Easter egg hunts. Saturday for lunch we met the Cook's at Zupas' best food ever.  It was so good to see the family and have a chance to talk.  I had a wonderful time visiting family.  It
