A to Z

Across the country we drove this July
So many miles we wanted to cry (Colt actually did, frequently)
To see our families whom we dearly miss
For you I've made an A-Z snapshot of this:

A is for Animals
We saw a few
B is for Bike
Shiny and new
C is for Claire
Whom we love to Kiss
D is for Dallin
Whose muscles we'll miss (haha)
F is for Family
and the joy that they are
G is for Great Grandma
and her New Orleans mission afar
H is for Aunt 'Hah-yee'
playing with me
I is for Icky
Baiting the hook is yucky!
J is for 'Janosh'
Who felt the same way
K is for Kisses
Everyday
L is for Lupine
Purple and free
M is for Mount Rushmore
A great place to see
N is for Nature
and the beauty it holds
O is for an Ordinary
Event that unfolds
P is for Priest Lake
Our yearly lake bed
Q is for Quitting
While you're ahead
R is for Resting
In a beautiful place
S is for Smiles
On a beautiful face
T is for Trampolines
Temples and Toes


U is for Useful
Messages under your nose
V is for Veterans
Of the red, white and blue
W is for Water
Fishy treasures for you
X, Y and Z
are for finishing the set
Thanks Family for memories we'll never forget!
