The following day we had lots of family come to watch Austin in our ward's primary program. Austin did a fantastic job delivering his memorized part. Knowing how good he is at memorizing and delivering such things, he was given a much longer part than many other kids, including his older peers. He spoke loud and clear, and afterward everyone we saw comments on how good he did. When church was over, we had a large family dinner at our house.
Then on Wednesday, September 28, we met up with Nate's parents again to go hiking along the Davis Creek Trail. Despite the many trail markers on this hike, we found it a little challenging to determine for sure the right way to go. The trail markers didn't always match the labels on the map we had, and there were also trails that were not on the map. I went a ways up one trail to see where it went, and then we all went up it again later to see the waterfall up that way. For awhile, Nate's dad believed we had missed the place we needed to turn in order to loop around, so we went back to one trail split only to find out that it was not the right spot and go back to where we had already gone. All this made the hike much longer and more time consuming than originally planned, but we had fun. Austin did a great job hiking despite the steepness of the terrain.

Sunday we went down to Nate's sister's house for another family dinner before Nate's parents headed back home. We were grateful for the time we had to spend with them and with Timothy!
