Taylor Family: April 2009

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes...and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp...I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really there, and that I really lived."

~Marjorie Hinckley

"Our lives are frittered away by detail; simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." Lin Yutang

Spring Break at Hunting Island April 2009

We had a fabulous time camping at Hunting Island during spring break! The weather was perfect....cool breezes with lots of warm sunshine. We enjoyed a night exploration on the beach under a large, bright moon, observed raccoons in the bushes, and then woke up in the morning to discover two deer had been sleeping right next to our tents! We had fun using our dutch ovens to make breakfast...and thoroughly enjoyed the beach!
