While in Utah for Grandpa's big birthday celebration, we also got to enjoy the annual YW General Board retreat/social in Wallsburg, Utah. We played, ate great food, met lots of people, and had an overall wonderful time. Here are some pictures from the day:
Here is dad holding Thomas. Thomas enjoyed himself as he was passed around and slept on a blanket under the trees.
Like I said, we met lots of people and reconnected with others. One family we got to see was the Allen family. They were in our ward back in Durham, NC. This is Lindsay/Thomas with Caroline.
Here is Kimmi reading a book. Mark was on Spencer duty. Sorry about the background. The best picture of her reading happened to have that lady fixing her towel.
