Traveling Together - More Time in Philly

We checked out of our hotel before 10:00am and we headed for Teach's house. We knew she was already gone to school, but we had to pick up Baby Doll before we headed down the road. 

It was still early and our flight didn't leave until 7:00pm, so we drove to Valley Forge. Baby Doll was certain than it was a stop that would impress her history teacher.

We had planned a couple more stops, but the terrible traffic kept us to one. So we decided to see the place of the Continental Congress. We had pics of Baby Doll when she was 2 at the same building, but of course she didn't remember. So that brought our trip full circle.

Then it was time to head to the airport. Another amazing trip completed.

Traveling Together - Twizlet's Baptism

I just love days like this! Having family together and celebrating good choices is the best. I only wish even more of our kids and grandkids could have been here. 

We got to the church just before 10:00. In Utah, we have baptisms the day before, but because of the travel times for some members, they often have them right after Sunday services. So we went to Sacrament Meeting and Sunday school with Dog Walker, Teach and Princess and their sweeties. 

The kids all went to Primary except for Baby Doll. She and Drama Queen took Twizzler to the Sensory Room. 

They had some trouble with the font draining after it was filled, so we didn't get started until half an hour later than the planned time, but once it got started, things moved quickly. Dog Walker said the opening prayer and Princess and The Frog did the music. My sweetie gave a talk and I was a witness although I did end up leading the closing song because Princess had to take one of her kiddos out and she didn't get back in time. 

They served cookies afterward and then we went back to our hotel room. It was time for a nap! After a while, Teach and Twiz brought their girls over to swim in the hotel's pool, so Dog Walker went with them. We had already determined that the pool was too cold for me, and my sweetie was still asleep. 

Later, we went back over to Teach's house for dinner and a nice visiting session. 

It was the perfect baptism day (except for maybe the font spontaneously draining, that wasn't fun...).
