The AZ Hales come to Winter Quarters

The AZ (Arizona) Hales gals show off the welcome sign at 3111 Tucker.

The party seems to be on the air mattress!

Pioneer Courage Park--our favorite place in downtown Omaha. Is this a fun place or not!

Milking the pioneer cow!

Love that dog!

The Trail Center and the Handcart Monument--the Christmas Card shot!

With Elder Naylor, Sharryl’s dad, Vic Ludlow’s best friend.

Our AZ pioneers pulling the handcart. Get it over that rock!! This handcart is an authentic one that was actually built to Brigham's instructions and pulled from Nauvoo to Winter Quarters.

Steele is packing his own wagon.

Our pioneers in The Memorial Room with the Tragedy in Winter Quarters statue that is a model of the large one in the Pioneer Cemetery.

Chris enjoying the wonderful painting of Winter Quarters. The Trail Center is located today at the top at the hill shown at the bottom of the picture.

The Winter Quarters Temple is the 50th Temple that the AZ Hales have visited. They have pictures of all their visits on their “temple wall” at home.

Standing in Iowa and Nebraska on the Kerry Pedestrian Bridge over the Missouri River.

Playing Fingers with Grandma while Grandad plays Chickionary the the older kids and Whirley Burley with Steele.

The visit to the Omaha Zoo for a delightful day.

Checking out the wallaby.


These baboons look just like the real ones except we don't think the real ones don't let anyone climb on them.

Pink flamingos!

Did this stork bring our baby??

The merry-go-round was a favorite.

The petting zoo was just what the girls were looking for. Steele is not so sure.

Grandma’s favorite—the giraffes.

The tram was a huge hit with the family. You could see all over this huge zoo, second only to the San Diego Zoo.

Who would believe a boa constrictor slithering about. Now this is not an ordinary zoo event!!

Carrying “Mac and Cheese” back to his cage.

Steele and Grandad are both zonked!! Did we have fun!!!

A Heber, two Kimballs and a Chase at the Kanesville Tabernacle. This is where Heber C. Kimball was sustained as counselor to Brigham Young.

Steele is ready to go to Mount Rushmore. Thanks Grandma and Grandad!! We had a great time!

  2. I think you're right. Then again, I have always thought that Jared looked like he belonged in your family. . . J.
