Thursday afternoon while awaiting the invasion of other family members, we spent part of the afternoon at a nearby indoor amusement hall where the girls ran, bounced and apparently received some loving counsel and admonition from their father.
After arriving home, Sam, Lucy and Nora claimed counter space in the kitchen to make cookies. The cookies were tasty and disappeared before bedtime.
Later in the evening the Benefields arrived after a drive from the Ozarks where they had spent a few days doing the kinds of things families can do in the Ozarks. No birds or small mammals were harmed during the backyard archery experience.
Preparations were made on Saturday morning for the 10 am baptism. Donuts were a popular breakfast selection. One might wonder if Nora had snuck a secret ingredient into her cookies.
While waiting for the adults to get dressed, the girls played "hitty, pinchy, flatty, cutty, cow"
After the baptism, the extended Thorne and Tolman families were guests for a luncheon and swimming at the lovely home of Steve and Kim Thorne. Jon's pale back would indicate that he has not done any swimming this summer. It would take on a pink tone by the end of the afternoon.
Hair artistry was performed in the late afternoon.
On Sunday morning, the Benefields dressed, packed and began their long drive home to Austin. The rest of us attended church services in Liberty. After lunch, Rachel, Ben and family headed home to Lincoln.
The girls demonstrated that their hair coloring expertise can also be applied to grey hair.

On Monday evening, we flew back home through some impressive clouds. Emily took a connecting flight from Denver to Salt Lake City with a connecting shuttle back to Provo. The color washed out of Grumpa's hair and he was not detained by security for looking suspicious.
