The rest of our vacation was wonderful. On the 24th we celebrated Grandpa Pitt's 77th birthday, we got to tour the Joseph Smith Memorial Museum and Temple Square in Salt Lake City, and we ended with the Pitt Family Reunion on the 26th. It was a great week of events, love and getting reaquainted with our family and loved ones. What a beautiful family we have and we are glad to be part of a grander family also!! What a heritage that we have!
It is a bitter sweet moment when you drop off your missionary to the MTC. We are thrilled that he has chosen to serve the Lord for two years, yet we are missing him already! He is so pumped up and ready to serve. We all got a moment to hug him goodbye and off he went. The girls quickly had to go shopping to make him a care package to deliver to the MTC. What a great day!!
On our first day in Provo at Lori's house, Skip wanted to take the kids fishing. Jeff decided that he wanted foil dinners and roasted corn for his last dinner with the family. We drove up past Bridal Veil Falls to Vivian Camp ground, and we had a blast! Skip bought Will his own "Spiderman" fishing pole which was sure to bring him luck. Skip taught them how to cast and eventually even Kindy and Kaylee put the worm on the hooks!!! We had delicious foil dinners and corn for dinner. Grandma and Karen did the cooking. Unfortunately these fish were good at taking the bait and not getting caught!
What a great day as we had family and friends over after Jeff's Farewell. Jeff spoke in church and our whole Pitt extended family sang a choir number together, "In the Hollow of Thy Hands", then Skip was asked to bear his testimony. Jeff will be set apart as a missionary early Monday morning the 21st and then we are off to Utah to take him to the MTC. We will miss Jeff so much, but we are sooo proud of his decision to serve the Lord.

It was such a thrilling day to go to the Los Angeles Temple with Jeff for the first time. He will be reporting to the MTC on June 23rd, to serve a mission in the Denver, Colorado, South Mission. What a beautiful day we had. Mike and Dejah, Grandpa and Grandma Pitt, and Aunt Jana went with us,what a blessing. My heart is so full as I see Jeff prepare to serve the Lord. He is so ready.
We had a great time at Mike and Dejah's for a bar-b-q and pool party. It was a beautiful day and great company!!! We love getting together to swim, play games, "Rock Band" of course, and hanging out to eat!!
