After a wonderful river walk, we headed back south. We stopped in Eagle Mountain to see a Clint Black concert and firework show.
Then on that Sunday, I had one more surprise for Todd. After church, I set the table for two. But once dinner time arrived, David and President DJ Smith (aka Todd's friend and boss) surprised him to join us for one last birthday dinner. We had potatoes, meatloaf (Jenny's recipe), rolls (Debbie's recipe), and carrot cake. Happy Birthday Todd!
Memorial Day was the dropping off day at the MTC for Elder and Sister Shurtz. They were all packed up and ready to go. Good luck in England!

The last full week of May, Todd and his dad drove to the Grand Canyon and hiked into Havasupi. This required them to hike, with full gear, 10 miles down into the canyon, hiked the few days there, and then 10 miles uphill back out of the canyon. They were pretty tired when they came home. But their pictures sure are beautiful of the red rock and teal water! More pictures coming later.

Mom and Dad were set apart to be missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The next day, they flew in, and after a long day of flying, came to relax at our apartment. We were surprised to see that Dad should have kept this pair of socks at home. They won't last long in the mission field. We had a good laugh!
