Oh What A Summer!!!
From planning our Family Reunion at Lake Tahoe to planning to feed 2100 people at the Young Single Adult Conference, we have had an eventful yet exciting summer.
The reunion was wonderful. From playing on the beach, golf tournaments and award ceremonies, a talent show, a scavenger hunt, Smith Olympics and dollars, g-kids hot tubbing, swimming in the pool, the buffet, the movie, relaxing, eating, cooking s'mores, climbing rocks, taking walks, jet skiing, the numberous BBQ's and most of all enjoying the family, we had a terrific time. Picture-We also had fun with Grandpa's key!!
Then off we flew to Chicago to Bailey's baptism only to find that she was very sick with Meningitis. She was so sick and spent the night in the hospital. By Sunday she was feeling much better, but the baptism was postponed. (Has been rescheduled for Sept. 5th and the plan is for Bailey will be baptized in Lake Michigan. It will depend on the weather.)
THEN! When we got home we went full speed ahead into the California YSA Conference. Earlier in the summer while we were in Utah for a visit our Bishop went to a meeting and volunteered us for the food. At first we weren't too alarmed, but as we learned more we found out just how huge this assignment would be. The numbers of YSA attending kept rising! A week before the event were told to plan on feeding 2100. With alot of help from stake volunteers who prepare food and served--we did it and it's over!!!
Dave will retire at the end of August and we are looking forward to a four week road trip in September.
