As I watched and listened to this video clip it reminded of an experience that I had recently. Last month while I taught a lesson at school about comprehension strategies and making connections I decided to read a book about George Washington and his life etc. I had found a beautiful big book with lots of pictures to help us remember George Washington. This book jumped out at me since this past summer I went to Mount Vernon and had wonderful memories of all of the historical sights. I thought I could make some great connections with this book called "Remembering George Washington". During the lesson we talked about how George Washington was out first president etc. The question arose as to who the President of the United States is today (President Obama had just spoken the day before about the importantance of doing your best in school etc.) and a little girl in the front row said President Monson. It made me smile and I thought of this as I listened to President Monson's sweet voice. I really like this video about what matters most in our lives. I hope you enjoy it too!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
movies like Preditor and Night of the Iguana were filmed.



The rope over the water is used to swing out into the pool.




It is always great to spend time listening to the waves roll in!
We loved this beautiful place by the beach!
It was fun to spend time with my Mom and Dad!
Artist displaying their paintings!
This once-sleepy fishing village became a popular resort after "The Night of the Iguana" was filmed here in 1964. We loved the red tile roofs and rows of balconies with colorful bougainvilleas along its cobblestone streets. We explored the El Eden Jungle and ate lunch by the natural pools while watching swimmers enjoying the cold water. It was a beautiful place to visit and I would love to go back again!
