The week of July 24th was a busy and memorable time for the Bracken family. Unfortunately the 2nd crop hay became ready at the same time as many other things happening. It meant for many sleepless nights and tired days, but that didn't stop a lot of other fun things from happening.
On July 24th we helped to celebrate the 90th birthday of Grandpa Pollock with a party and dinner at the church. It was a fun time and attended by most of his family. Mical, Diana, and Abbey came from Salt Lake and the McOmie Family came from Portland. They joined Colten and Megan along with Paul and ShaRee and family and Rand/Shemri and kids from Mesquite for a fun weekend and week of play and family fun. There was lots of games and backyard play. Many attended the rodeo in Enterprise and many attended the production of Les Miserables at the Tuacahn. Dylan had the misfortune of breaking his arm while power skating in the kitchen but otherwise it was a fun and safe weekend.
The final court action for Brayden was held in St George and his sealing was held in the St George Temple the following Saturday. It was a highlight to a very busy and fun period for the whole family.

On Saturday, Sept 6 Charlene and I joined with 4 other couples for a day ATV ride. (Ron and Elaine Terry, Mike and Dori Singleton, Rulon and Shirley Jones, Kendall and Ilene Simkins.) After an early morning breakfast at Dennys in Cedar we drove to the mouth of Parowan canyon. From there we unloaded and went over the mountain. We stopped at Yankee Meadow reservoir and then proceeded to Panguitch Lake. After a loop north of the lake we returned back over the mountain. It was a beautiful day and a very scenic trip.
