A Good Time or a Good Story: Busy Summer Highlights, Part 3: Grace's Baptism

With Paul and Bethany coming out west for a Flake family reunion, followed by a Poulsen/Campbell reunion, they decided to have Grace baptized in Riverton. We were ecstatic to host. We started with a few family photos, Lynne behind the shutter.

Although there would be another family photo shoot at the Moab reunion, we tried to grab a few informal shots here. Danny was interested in the tree. It is a nice tree.

Grace and Alice were game, as always.

Charlie's protest smile.

We tried a few all-five-grandkids shots, but Danny was leaning.

We were fortunate to get Great Grandma Grace to visit. She gave a delightful talk on baptism at the service.

Joel Flake and Jim Campbell visited. Neither of their press secretaries would disclose if any agreements were reached.

Chicken Parmesan sliders were the order of the day.

For everyone except Danny, who had his own chef and wait staff.

The kids stayed in line at the kids table.

The older kids did, too.

Here is the baptism girl in her dress, all ready to go to the church. I didn't get any church shots, because things were a little hectic for a while, but the service was simple and small, and quite touching and special. We are proud of Grace and her decision to be baptized.

Afterwards, a good time was had by all of the kids on the swingset.

Charlie does everything with his tongue hanging out. The photoshoot in Moab documented it, too.

Danny seemed surprised to see his hands out there, but he liked the swings pretty well.

Grace, in facepaint, also catching some air.

The kids called this, "climbing the coconut tree."

Since the Flake reunion was completed, and P&B were in Riverton until the Moab reunion, we got to host them for a couple of days. Here the girls try out the new slipper tub.
