Here’s some life advice that I’ve been giving variations of to myself: don’t let things bother you that don’t really matter. I get caught up on things like getting chores done, polarization and violence in the news, regretting how I spent my money, and disappointment that I have yet to achieve some of my goals. But I would rather not let that bother me and instead live the best I can and try to do good.

We’ve had fun with cousins visiting, including a quick trip to Cabella’s. Curtis had the opportunity to go hunting with his cousin for the first time. He shot a deer and had a close miss. I was able to spend some time with Evie at Meadow Hot Springs and Cove Fort when we dropped him off.

We also took a free day and went up to Kennecott to see the mine, as well as went to the nearby Copperton Park and Butterfield Canyon. It’s worth a visit, although none of my kids were all that excited about it.
