Kurtis' Eagle Court of Honor

Erick welcomed everyone and talked. He told of the work put into the project Kurtis completed.
He built and installed the benches for an amphitheater to be used to teach children about nature.

Grandpa Cox talked.
 Kurtis gave him his 4th mentor pin. He and Claudia have been a great support to our boys in their scouting.
Kyle read the Eagle Challenge and told Kurtis how proud he is of him.

Brother Jonathon Stathis (both boys scout leader) awarding Kurtis his Eagle.

The Eagles Nest

Of course, to finish off the day we headed to Panguich Lake to fish.
As always Grandma caught a slew of fish.


Kristin and Kimber caught their share, while Kurtis snorkeled along the shore.

The guys in the boat actually caught fish big enough to keep.
Way to go Kyle, Justin, Grandpa, Erick and Bishop Nickerson.

It was a beautiful day!
Thanks to all the family and friends for supporting Kurtis.

Cedar Breaks Wildflowers


Navajo Lake the water was 12 feet above the dike

Purple Larkspur

Deer Haven was so completely covered in the Larkspur that it almost looked like a lake.

This is heading in to Cedar Breaks

The wildflowers came out a little late this year with all the snow.
If you get a chance to drive through in the next few weeks it will only be more beautiful.




Kurtis is in the snowblower.
 
We stopped on the way down and had some brats and stuff.
