Weekend to Palisades

Star Valley Wyoming Temple

Earlier this summer we took a little family get away to Lake Palisades. A family friend let us use their family cabin for the weekend. We very much appreciate their hospitality and friendship. We took the opportunity to also do some limited traveling. Above you can see the Star Valley Temple in Afton, Lincoln, Wyoming. The temple is shuttered due to Coronavirus. Amanda will have to share pictures of the Star Valley Tabernacle.

We visited in middle of July. We also took the chance to drive over to Alpine and Jackson, Teton, Wyoming. Of course we had to get a picture with the famous elk horn arches. Somehow the picture makes it appear very few people were around. But in the middle of tourist season, and despite Coronavirus and mask mandates, the place was crawling with tourists. We got nearly all our state license plates in Jackson for our road games.

We took some time to go play with kayaks on Big Elk of the Palisades Reservoir.

Grandpa and Grandma Hemsley drove up on Saturday and joined us for all day Sunday.

It was a fun weekend. Maybe we will have to impose ourselves and ask to use the cabin again sometime.
