A couple of weeks after school got out we packed up the van and drove to Utah. I used to hate road trips but the kids do such a great job traveling that it is really fun driving 12 hours to get to grandma and grandpa's house. We made a list of what we wanted to do while we were in Utah and we were booked solid the entire trip. We had a fabulous time. The kids and I were there about 3 weeks but Jeff was only with us for about 6 days. We had so much fun that fun was oozing out our ears. I have many more pictures to come but I had to do this first!! The highlight of the trip was Maddie's baptism. It does a mother's heart good to watch her oldest be baptized by her husband. I even shed a few tears that day. We had an absolutely perfect day. At Maddie's request it was small and intimate. Grandma Farrell talked on baptism and she gave a great talk. We had a musical number with Maddie, and her two girl cousins accompanied by Aunt Gita on the piano. The song was heavenly. They sounded amazing. Then Jeff baptized Miss Maddie. Maddie LOVED being baptized. She said the water was warmer than her bathtubs and she likes them hot. She liked it so much she wanted to get back in and do it again. After she was dried, dressed, and dolled up, Jeff gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. Following his talk he confirmed her and Grandpa Karl and uncles were able to be in the circle. We had a great lunch after the baptism in the bowery behind the church. Thanks to all who came!!!
