Grand adventure

After spending most of a week in Washington visiting Lane (Spokane), Grandpa Throssell (Yakima) and attending law meetings (Coeur d'Alene), we flew to Salt Lake City to celebrate the July 4 weekend with Rob and Anna and keikis, Court and Todd, and Grandma and Grandpa Hastings. My brother Terry finally got his pilot's license on Thursday, and Friday evening he called with an offer to pick me up at Spanish Fork Airport and fly me up the Star Valley for the day. It was wonderful!

Here's Terry in the plane before takeoff.

We attended a program dedicating a new civic center in Afton, including the induction of six early pioneers into a Hall of Fame.  One of the six was my great grandfather, Anson Vasco Call. It was an interesting program.  We had lunch, picked up Angela and flew back to Spanish Fork for a BBQ at Liz's with the family.  All in all a wonderful day.
