Not pictured in our ward Memorial Day photos is Dakota. Daniel, Jewel and Dakota all participated in the ward Olympics while Patricia & Mable stayed home talking and talking.... Jewel came in first for her age group for girls, and took 2nd place with boys and girls combined. Go Jewel!!! Patricia credits her speed to her years of practice running away from her brother. Daniel, Jewel and Dakota took 2nd and 3rd in family races. Dakota came in first for the boys 12-15 age group in the 100 meter dash. Go Dakota!!! He also ran in the 200 meter dash, the 4 by 100 relay dash and finished the day off with a 5K.

This explains why he did not stay for the noon picnic. He won, but at quite a price. He didn't move for the rest of the day. Come to think of it, he didn't talk much either...

gratitude thought: For those who lost their lives so that we could enjoy the freedom we are so blessed with. I am grateful for the millions of families and individuals whose lives were impacted in one way or another by the losses, injuries and illnesses sustained by their loved ones.
