Whirlwind Trip to Hillsboro Friday and Saturday

We got on call from Briton on Thursday night and by 1:00pm on Friday we were on our way, along with Autumn and Airie, to be in Hillsboro for his High Priest ordination. We're glad we could all arrange our schedules and attend on the spur of the moment. The girls did a lot of talking up and back (on Monday), lucky Dad. We had so much fun with the 3 grandkids and Briton was a great host, providing lots of things to do, including dice games into the night. Sorry we didn't get to see much of Robin, but certainly enjoyed her spaghetti dinner and all the trimmings.

We didn't even launch out of Farmington before we stopped at Arby's for lunch.

Thank you for inviting me to come! Even though it was really quick it was fun. It was great to spend time with everyone and a special thanks to dad for letting me use his camera ;)

Yeah, it is a killer drive. Thanks for making it. We had a lot of fun. You got some really good photos of Clara --she's hard to get! I like the "swingtime" photo with everyone in motion. And the tickle video on the deluxe air mattress...
