McKENLY'S BAPTISM - SEPTEMBER 4, 2010










McKenly Kennedy, my sweet Granddaughter and Rachel's daughter, was baptized by her Uncle Eric on Sat., September 4. It was a beautiful day, and many of McKenly's loved ones and friends were there. Eric also confirmed her a member of the Church. Rachel's been listening to the missionaries at her home, and was excited with her decision to be baptized. I was asked to give a talk about baptizm, and loved have the opportunity to do so. Above are some photos from McKenly's very special day!












YELLOWSTONE - JUNE 2010














It's been quite a while since I went to Yellowstone with my family, and this year we decided it was time! Rachel arranged for each family to rent a 26' trailer that were parked in a campground just outside the south gate, 2 miles from the Park. It was very convenient to the activities at the Park. The families that went were Adam & Rachel's, Blair & Karen's, and Eric & Jennifer's. We had such an awesome time, hitting Jackson Hole on the way up, the Park for 3 days, and then back via Bear World. The weather was perfect while we were there. The wildlife that we saw was unreal this time....bears, both grizzly & brown, elk, moose, buffalo, and others. All of the kids were so excited to see them, and knew the drill about not getting too close! And of course, getting the best photo as well. We saw many of the hot-pots and geysers, and Old Faithful did not let us down (altho a few minutes late!). Does it ever "not go off"? Had so much fun with the fam, and wished all of them could have been there. Photos tell it all!
