Kendall

Theron's brother, Kendall, will be 86 years old this November.  He has had some congestive heart problems, breathing problems and is now very limited in his driving distances.  He does still have a heart for adventure.  We have wanted to bring him down to St. George to see our home and Theron wanted to take him on an ATV ride.  He has ridden on the old quads, but never in a side-by-side.

We bought him a ticket on the St. George Shuttle to come down on September 12 and stay with us for a couple of days.  Kendall was in his element the whole day.  Traveling to places he had driven through in his younger days, seeing the growth of St. George, enjoying the discovery center at the FamilySearch Center and going "gaga" over the technology there, and just relaxing by our pool.  He loved the patio and pool area and in the mornings I would find him out there reading or doing facebook on his phone.  I just kept thinking how he would have enjoyed living down here in his earlier years.

Doesn't this picture say it all?  Kendall just looking out over the vista.

 Kendall was flashing pictures all day long.

Brothers

On the 13th, we invited Robin Schaefermeyer who lives in Cedar City, Nunleys, Davis', and Poulsens to ride the Virgin River with us.  It was a fun trip.  Kendall just couldn't get over how neat these new ATVs are, 'Dad would have really enjoyed these,' he would tell Theron.  He even had strength and air to hike a slot canyon.

So glad we could do this for him.  We just never know when our last ride or trip will be, so we need to enjoy every moment.

Happy Trails, Kendall
