Things I want to remember about this trip

1. The trip. The stewardess knew my name. The food was the best. It was very comfortable.

2. Mike stumbling around in the dark on the way to the bathroom and feeling the lamp shade and saying aloud, "Oh, I didn't know you were already up?" Yes I woke up to that...laughing. :)

 3. Cheryl telling her girls that they couldn't get on the Ipad until grandma and grandpa were gone. Pause. "When will grandma and grandpa leave?" asked Abigail. :( :)

4. The baptism. The bishop asked Hannah if she was ready to be baptized and she shouted out, "I can hold my breath for 10 seconds!" Cute.

5. Food. Food. and more food at the after luncheon.

6. Will's talk at Hannah's baptism. The story he told about Linda listening to the Holy Ghost to look in the trash for her lost wedding ring, then, when she had gone through every trash bag, not finding her ring, calling on Heavenly Father as to why she had heard to go look in the trash. Then she heard it again, only to look in the trash bin...and there on the bottom was her wedding ring. At one point, Will lost his place and became so embarrassed that he was in essence 'freaking out', but a kind dad (Dave) came up front and gently coached him in to continuing, which he then did, while Dave stood to the side to give him moral support.

7. Watching Linda direct her choir. She did a great job.

8. Watching a beautiful Hannah, on the stand with her bishop, be welcomed into the church. Sitting next to Abigail and hearing her sweet soprano voice ring out as she sang the hymns with me, then softly singing Silent Night while the sacrament was being passed.

9. The best steak dinner ever! We had a 'grill your own steak" and bring your own pie meal at Linda's Saturday before Father's day. Kevin, Cheryl, Linda, my mom, and Mike and I were there with all their families. All the withits were wonderful. I thought it was funny how everyone grilled them a bit differently and everyone was taking bites of each others and comparing the rubs, marinades, cuts, etc. The kids were outside repeatedly with the water slide/pool/water pump,etc. Good/fun conversation.

10. Finding out about Dave's new job with the church.

11. Josh going back and forth the entire sacrament meeting at Cheryl's to hug every single person on the row repeatedly.

12. Blueberry pie and ice cream for my Dad. :(

13. Linda's family coming over to share FHE with us. Maddy conducted...Will gave a professional lesson complete with questions, a skit, examples, a testimony, and color sheet.

14. Can't forget holding George.

15. The trees and breeze, sitting in mom's back yard. Watching Will and Maddy play chess, while Dave is an airplane running behind Josh--also an airplane.

16. After Linda go covered by a glass of fallen water, Dave got hit by milk...being blown at him through Josh's straw. He took the straw away and Josh found another straw and began blowing milk at him all over again. Yep. That meal was 'over and out'. They couldn't get out fast enough.

17. It is good to know the families hold FHE and read scriptures.
