Everyone, except for the little girls, went to the temple on Friday morning. Richard took Sam, Josh and Tim to do endowments and I went with Sara, Andrew, Freddy and Daniel to do baptisms.
We enjoyed our time together in the House of the Lord.
The Salt Lake Temple is so beautiful!
That evening we met with a couple of choir friends, Isaac Lyon and Alex Contraras, at Highland Glen Park. It was a pocket of heaven hidden in town.
Sam taught Zanna to skip rocks.
They made some new friends. Three guys hanging out at the park asked our group to join them in spike ball and then Frisbee football.
It was a little chilly watching them, so my sweetie kept me warm.
Isaac had to leave early so he didn't make it into the pictures.
Alex is between Sara and Daniel. Reggie is in the back with his arms up. Talmage is in the blue shirt by Andrew and we can't remember the name of the other guy next to him.
Saturday we spent a little while exploring Orem Mall.
I think Drew's face expresses pretty clearly how he felt about wearing a University of Utah hat. Ha!
Richard is such an animal!
Laney found this lovely coat. Hmm...
Saturday night we watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks from our friends', the Craigs, front yard. It was beautiful weather and so relaxing. Sadly, they were out of town so we didn't get to visit with them.
Sunday after church we took Sam back to the airport and then came home for a Sunday nap. I walked in and found Richard sound asleep and snoring like this. We needed a picture of it. He didn't even do it on purpose, he was just trying to block out the light. So funny!
That evening, our dear friends, the Bytheways, came down from Salt Lake to spend some time with us. We sat in the front yard visiting and laughing, again trying to soak in every last minute of beautiful weather with good friends.
Bethany and Susanna
Kim and I went for a long walk for some mom time. It was wonderful!
Other than Sam, we were missing Bethany in this picture, who had fallen asleep. It's always tons of fun when we get together. Love you, Bytheways!
The boys' choir friend, Becca, also came over to visit Sunday evening. There was a lot of laughing and silliness, of course.
It was a great last day for an amazing vacation!
