We spent a week down in Benson to witness Caden's baptism and celebrate the Fourth of July, Benson style. We had a great time playing in the great outdoors while visiting the Barneys. The Barneys have such wide open space with great outdoor toys that my kids love to take advantage of - quads, golf cart just to name a few.
It was great to go to Caden's baptism. It was a great baptism and I love being reminded of the covenants that we make at baptism. It was great to see all the Barneys there, especially Cheyenne. We haven't seen him in quite a while. The girls looked so pretty for the baptism. After the baptism, the younger girls went straight to the trampoline to jump. The trampoline looked so inviting, another great outdoor toy at the Barney home.
The Barney family invited us to ride on the float again this year. They kids all agreed to be in the parade and they had a great time. They provided us with Barney tee- shirts and then the kids headed off to the parade route. It was fun to see which vehicles the kids chose to sit in. They were asked to toss out otter pops to the crowd and wave. Jim, Lisa, and I watched the parade and cheered the loudest when their float came by. I loved waving at Emily when she saw us on the parade route.
After the parade route, Emily fell off the float and got a little hurt. She was sad for awhile and we learned that bandages do make you feel better. The Barneys provided a hot dog lunch after the parade. It's a great time to socialize and cool off. I love that the Barneys included us in their Four of July Festivities. After lunch, we headed home and left Danni there for a week with Brittany to help Debbie prepare for girl's camp.
While we were in Benson, we took a tour of Debbie's classroom. She is a first grader teacher in St. David and is super excited. Ashley came down beforehand and helped Debbie decorate her room. We are so proud of Debbie!
