A Full Weekend

Well, Alex and Jack headed back to school last Friday (Stephen starts school Tuesday). They were both very excited, but also a bit nervous about their teachers and what friends would be in their class. At the end of the day it was good to hear that they both really enjoyed their teachers and both have friends from past classes/church/soccer/etc...so for the time being all is good.
Well, the boys got to leave school early on Friday so that we could head out for a family vacation, a weekend of camping. It was quite fun. Considering it was the first time our family had camped it went well and everyone seemed to enjoy the time away. Aunt Laura and Uncle John (and their new dog, Bo) joined us. We spent time bike riding, swimming, climbing the fire tower, observing (and feeding) the bison, and just hanging out. Here are a few pictures from the camping trip:


The best part of the weekend though happened on Sunday afternoon. We came back from camping and went out to Hidden Lake for our church's baptism. Their were about a 100 people who were baptized, including Tammy and Brooke, close friends of ours. It was AWESOME!

But the best...

was that Aaron was baptized. (It still is giving me chills.)
