We had an exciting weekend! Daren's mission call arrived on Friday. He had plans for the evening and the rest of us were leaving to go camping. After a few phone calls we were able to gather the troops on Saturday at Buffalo Campground. Daren and Reed drove up late on Friday night and Rod and Stephanie joined us Saturday morning. We had a surprise when G & G Schwieder and G & G Rockwood took a drive up to find us. 
So, after all of that intro, I'm sure everyone is wondering where he is going. He has been called to serve in the Richmond Virginia Mission. He spent the rest of the afternoon spreading the news. He enters the MTC on August 5, so we have a lot to get ready. As soon as school is out we can start shopping and I can start psyching myself for the trip to Provo. That is one thing I'm not looking forward to.
After the excitement we had a fun weekend together. Saturday was a gorgeous day at Island Park. We enjoyed riding bikes, fishing, playing games, and of course EATING! In the evenings we would gather around the campfire with the Black family to talk and laugh. Everyone stuck around until Sunday night. It was so much fun to have the whole family together.
I am so excited for Daren. He will make an excellent missionary.
