Keeping faith with a commitment to support our children and grandchildren in their accomplishments, we traveled to Austin, TX on Wednesday evening May 23, for the baptism of Clara Benefield. Our luggage arrived on the morning of May 24. We enjoyed a three day stay with pregnant Ali, husband Adam and Clara, Emma and Hyrum. Clara was baptized on Saturday, May 26.
On Sunday, we traveled to Kansas City to spend the remainder of the Memorial Day weekend with son Jonathan, his wife Becky and daughter Samantha and a player to be named (and born) later.
Emma, Clara, and Adam at Clara's baptism. The day would have been a tragic one had Emma not also received a white dress.

The return leg of the trip was lengthened considerably by the arrival of a hail storm in the Denver airport. Our scheduled 1:45 departure from Kansas City eventually was cleared to take off at 6:30 and the normal 75 minute flight was lengthened by at least 30 minutes to fly south and west around bad weather. We pulled into the garage at 10:05 pm.
These are the three destructive elements known as Hyrum, Emma, and Clara Benefield.
