Road Trip to Sharon Vermont

On our way to Sharon Vermont, we saw a sign that said helicopter tours - we were close to Cape Cod - so Elder Ashton called - and away we went. We didn't end up going over Cape Cod - but did see some of Plymouth and the Duxbury area. Surpisingly enough - I wasn't even scared!

Here we go!

The helicopter we went in.

The Duxbury Beach is a 6-mile long barrier beach

They can drive their cars on the beach - park and spend the day there!

Lighthouse on the point.

Homes along the beach.

This is the Duxbury Pier Lighthouse. They would use this lighthouse to look for submarines during the war.

The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument, commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims and honors their ideals as later generally embraced by the United States.

On our way to Sharon - we went through the town that Dartmouth College is in.

Hill Cumorah Pagent

The beginning of the Pagent.

Couple of the performers.

The setting for the Pagent.

We were able to go to Palmyra for the Hill Cumorah Pagent on the 17th. The Pagent was really good and certainly worth the trip.

Sunny's Sealing

Kylie thought she would try my name tag on. She makes a good looking Sister Ashton!

We were especially blessed to be able to go home for Sunny's Sealing on July 10th. We are so grateful for the knowlegde that Families are Forever!

The missionaries come to the Center on their P-Day to send/received all their emails. (once and awhile I manage to make them a treat) We really do appreciate them, the dedication with which they serve our Heavenly Father, and how they brighten up our days.

Ana's Baptism

June 26, 2010 (Elder and Sister Ashton's 41st Anniversary) Ana was baptised! What a great anniversary gift. The baptism was mostly in Spanish - so Elder Canfield sat by us to translate - I did manage to sing a few words in Spanish. (It is alot easier when you can look at the words and someone is pronouncing them clearly right by you!)

Austin drew the pictures for these mugs that they had made for us.

Thanks Austin, we love them - they look great - we have them sitting on our desk at the Employment Center.
