Our vacation: Part 2 in Utah

Brenda and her kids were there too and the 5 little girls had a ball. Here they're trying to see how many sox they can fit onto one foot.

We went to the park for free lunch.

Grace climbed a pole

The kids had fun with the Wii rock band

We spent an afternoon with my sisters and drove to Camp Floyd where we had a picnic in the park.

There was a museum. Johnston's Army camped there.

Gail also made a lovely dinner for all of us. Grant has been at BYU for six weeks at a papyrology seminar. At our request he gave us an impromptu lecture about the facsimiles in the Pearl of Great Price. They are actually common funerary papers buried with the dead to help them in the afterlife. The depiction is of Osiris (god of death) rather than Abraham. The knife was just drawn in to represent the attempted sacrifice of Abraham. Joseph actually wrote the Book of Abraham by revelation like he did the Book of Moses rather than translate it from the papyrus.
