My friend Bernt Jenkins came home to Star Valley over the weekend, bringing two very kind Russian friends of his with him.  I went home to see them and to do a few other things too (namely get out of Rexburg for the weekend).  We went on a dirt bike ride in the morning and the girls got pretty muddy—but they had a lot of fun.  We then went to Jackson Hole and to Jenny Lake.  On Sunday I had my birthday meal with the extended family (a tradition we’ve had in our family for as long as I can remember).  Turned out to be a great weekend.
