Emily, Clara, Benjamin and myself woke early Saturday morning and drove for 6 hours to surprise cousin Hunter and his family who live in Wenatchee. This weekend was Hunter's baptism. We weren't sure if we could pull it off with all of the other commitments and activities but we managed to do it! We arrived noon on Saturday with squeals of delight and elation! Grandpa and Grandma and Auntie Shauna were already there and NO ONE knew, even them, that we were coming, so it was a BIG surprise. The baptism was at 5pm and it was such a nice program. Five other little eight year olds were also baptized. What fun. We then went to bed, woke up, went to church, got back into the car and headed home. Once my sister throws up some of her fabulous pictures from her fabulous camera online (when we hang out together and snap photos here and there I feel like she drives the jaguar camera and I drive the jalopy camera from the Archie comics) I will throw some pictures together with some tunes and make a slideshow.
For now....one has to drive through this quaint town called Leavenworth on the way to Wenatchee, where by law, every building must emenate traditional Bavarian design or architecture. Did you ever think you would see a bushel of wheat on the side of a Subway?
A Little Lesson:
When you think to yourself "hey you know what would be wonderful if we were to ...." Go for it I say! Don't let yourself talk yourself out of it. As they say, drink deeply from the cup of life.
That is way cool that you were able to do that...family occaisions are so important ...and ones like baptisims only come once...good for you Shelley and great memories for the kids
ReplyDeleteI agree! Go for it and let the joys of life unfold before you. Sometimes we talk ourselves out of a lot of joy in life.
