PICNIC WITH JOHNNY

Picnic at Lindsey Park in Salt Lake City.

The Lindsey's were pioneers who started the first public "funpark" in Utah.

They even had whirlygigs and giant teeter-totters, just like Papa!

Prowess on the merry-go-round: Rick, center, introduces the game as Joseph, Taylor, Brent David and Preston contemplate the wind-up.

(Guy in front, Buff Jensen, a boyhood friend, came especially to visit with Johnny.) "And the rules are thus..." Ricky explains, but nobody's listening.
Joshie is in his own world, flying an airplane.
Gosh, Josh is so precocious and imaginative!
Oops! Back to the guys! They've all hopped on and have started their ride!
Who's got the better balance? Can you tell?
Carter Greene, Brooke, Sam and Madi Heninger listen to Papa explain about our dream home.
Now all the gang listens to Papa describe a new swimming pool with a high dive.

??? They stand in unbelief.
Johnny contemplates another time, another era.
He reminisces his boyhood valley with the mountains behind.
Everybody gathers on the porch of our possible "dream home" on Tomahawk Drive.After the tour of the home, it was time to eat!It was fun to shop at Smith's together, then eat our munchies.

Joshie is very well-behaved and smart. Papa and Grandma Starr enjoyed watching him play.

Jen and Anne fix some goodies for our picnic.
Joshie likes bagels!
The grassy hill was a gathering place for our tribe. What fun!
Rick, Madi, Taylor, Sam, Preston and Brent David bring out a giant jump rope. We watch from the hill, knowing it is dusk, and our fun party is about to end.

Johnny, Anne and Joshie, please come back real soon, ok? Hey, let's go there!
