Our daughter Sheri and family Barney, Gavin and Chase traveled a long way to visit us.
We were at Zone Conf. in Billings when they arrived late that night. They followed us the remaining 5 hrs. to Poplar.
We had a short 2.5 days with them but really enjoyed their visit.
They brought tastes of home, with Cache Valley cheese, Malt-O-Meal cereals and even a bouquet of peonies in a vase from our Trenton yard.
We had time to take a tour of the town pointing out some of the highlights. Sheri, Gavin, Chase and I visited some of the small businesses that are within a block of our little home Main Street Grocery, Traders Inn, Independence Bank and Treasures Gift shop in the bank.
We also went to the College bookstore and then visited the Poplar Museum which houses the first jail.
Chase and Sheri check the inside of the jail out. Goodness they look desperate.
Of course Elder Allsop had work lined up. We hadn't had time to put the Youth Garden fencing together. Barney and Sheri were lots of help standing the fencing panels to enclose the square foot gardens.
Gavin and Chase mowed the entire field with our hard to push mower. That was such a help.
Brother Hank Nelson also came and what a work force we were.
Sheri and I helped mix the soil mixture in a trap before moving it into the growing area of the pallets.
Barney worked with the watering system by getting it functioning and the hose strung out.
On Friday we traveled to Ft. Peck Reservoir. We toured the plant, visited the Interpretive Museum and had a nice lunch back at their travel trailer.
There are various animals on display as well as giant dinosaurs.
Chase liked the fish tank.
The Interpretative Center is very hands-on with teaching stations to explore.
We said good-bye and went back to Poplar while the Newtons overnight-ed there then traveled all day to Island Park in Yellowstone.
