Mary had Friday off from work so we could take our time driving down with Chloe (who did really well in the car, by the way!) When we got there the weather was nice (78 degrees and sunny) so we unloaded the car and changed into our swimsuits and splashed each other in the pool for about an hour. At first, Chloe did not want to get in the water, even though she has her own little raft-type floatie. But as soon as she realized she could dunk her dad under water, she was hooked and we had a hard time the rest of the night keeping her away from the pool.
Anyway, we later played a few games with a bunch of family (Mary's side, of course) and crashed a little early because of the long drive. Here's where we were the next morning:
Me, Chloe and Mary in front of the St. George temple.

... and the newlywed couple. This is Mary's nephew Brad and his new wife Mary (great name, huh?!)
It was very nice being in the sealing room with these two and hearing not just the promised blessings for every faithful sealed couple but also the little tidbits of advice the sealer gave to Brad and Mary.
The sealing was awesome! But it's really too bad that you guys missed the mechanical bull riding!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! That drive can sure be long can't it! (Especially with a kid)
