The Allen Crew

I was explaining to Rider where oats come from. I mentioned they grow, and then are cut from a farmer's field, and so on.

Rider puts two and two together and exclaims~

"You know that apple seed I planted?"

"Yes." I said, knowing for certain where this conversation was headed.

"It's going to grow and make corn!"

I have to admit, I was blindsided a bit :)

When Rider grows up (and turns into corn), I will miss these conversations we have.

I was going back through pictures downloaded on the computer and found these. I was always going to post them, and forgot. These are trips we made before and during the move from Ohio back to Utah.




Home of Original Buffalo Wings, Buffalo, New York.





We also went to Niagara Falls.





It was lovely.



I think the kids favorite part was rolling down


this grass hill that between the falls.













Then we went to Palmyra.




We were able to see the cabin where Joseph Smith grew up,


and my personal favorite The Sacred Grove.




We attended church in Palmyra


where I ended up reuniting with a girl that I had met 20 some years ago,



while working at Seahawk Seafoods in Valdez Alaska!



It's a small world when you're LDS!
