Random Memories... Logan

Friday, June 3, 2011


These pictures are from yesterday.  We had so many good and lasting memories of Logan and decided to make a few stops as we made our way up to Main Street from Willow Park, all the while reminiscing about the good old days! 


Logan River.... summer days were spent in the river.  And I just found out another stunt the kids engaged in (Amie's confession).  The McEvoy kids, my kids, along with other neighbor kids, used to tie a rope underneath the bridge around the corner from our house and surf down the rapids on makeshift surfboards.  My kids ever bored?.............never!!


The Logan 14th Ward was the perfect ward to start a new life in.   Even though I was in the old part of town where many of the members had been there for years, they took the kids and I in and made us a part of them.  I was the only single mother that went to church but never felt like it.  The girls had exceptional young women leaders, and Steven had an awesome Scout leader that took him under his wing and made sure he got his projects completed.  We were blessed with many moms and dads!

See the wing of the church building on the left side?  Another confession...... Kelsey and Liz used to climb it and lay on the roof that overlooked the Logan River, do some star gazing, and dream up adventure schemes...  which they were really good at.    


This is Logan High School where Kelsey attended school.  It was only a few blocks away so the kids walked there every day.  Kelsey excelled in both academics and extra-curricular activities.  She was a favorite of all her teachers.  She did especially well in Science and was nominated to attend the National Forum on Medicine in Washington D.C. her Junior Year.  We put a plan together and raised the money for her to go, which proved to be one of the highlights of her school years in Logan.
