DAVIS DOINGS

What a wonderfully exciting and busy summer it has been! We had FIVE family reunions this summer. Meldrum —Clayson—Meldrum—Davis—Forsey, and we will be going to Mesa for Thanksgiving to be with the Davis’ there.

We started the summer by taking our 25th anniversary trip and combined it with Scott’s trip. We spent four days at Disneyland and one day at Sea World. Scott had a great time. We stayed at the Californian Resort that is right in Downtown Disney. We enjoyed everything. I know Scott will tell you that his favorite ride was the rocket ride, but I think it

might have been the Tower of Terror. He laughed the whole time. (not me—I couldn’t wait to get off.)

We can hardly wait until Christian's trip. We will be taking him to Germany with us to pick up Spencer.

With the reunions we travelled from Ogden to Santaquin to Capital Reef to Washington and back to Spanish Fork. The camper made it to all of those places just fine. (No flat tires)

Rebekah started in marching band at Spanish Fork High School. Now we have two kids in two competing bands. It will be a lot of fun going to the field shows this Fall. The first is at Weber State on Sept. 22. If you want to go to any please call me and I can let you know when and where they are.

Here’s an update on who is in what grade this school year. Alene is in kindergarten (again) at Mona Elem., Mike at SHHS, William is a Sophomore (?) at the U of U, Scott is a Senior at Spanish Fork HS and will be graduating this coming May, Christian is a Junior at Salem Hills HS, Rebekah is in 9th grade at Diamond Fork JHS, Jonathan is in 6th grade, and Benjamin is in 4th grade at Park Elementary. So far everyone is doing well.

Bill is working on equipment to ‘do’ his rocks. He wants to make a chess set and will use polished stones for the heads and cast the body of the pieces with metal. He already has some beautiful stones, he just needs to cut and polish and all the other stuff to make the pieces.

Mom has asked me several times to join the DUP, and they changed their meeting times this year so that I can. So I decide that now is a good time. I guess this means I am getting old. So if I talk about ancestors all the time, that is why.

Oh, yes! The other fun thing we did was Bill, Christian, Rebekah and I went on the stake Youth handcart trek.18 miles of fun.
Rebekah also went to Montana, Idaho and Alberta, Canada for choir tour. I had her brush up on family history before she went so she could think about her ancestors that lived there.
Everyone have a great life!
Love you all,
Bill, Paula and family
