Another fun family weekend—We had a temple trip on May 24th. Eliza got to go to the temple with the youth and do baptisms for the dead. She was excited to be able to go in with David. They did some family names of a lady in our ward—one of the boys was baptized for Daniel Boone. Eliza thought that was pretty neat. After that, we drove another 2+ hours to Savannah, GA to visit Tina and Stuart (David’s sister). They are so much fun. It always amazes me how the kids just instantly start playing together without any stage of awkwardness and getting reacquainted—even though we haven’t seen them since last summer. The Heimdal’s are great hosts (We slept great in Stephanie and Monica’s bed—thanks!) and we enjoyed our time at the beach, walking around Savannah and being together. One thing I love about visiting people is that you get some “real” insider tips on what things work in families. They have a great tradition of a Sunday “closed eye rest”. We’ve talked and laughed about needing more of those around here. The Heimdals are super fun—it will be fun to get together more often. I know that Laura will miss them—in fact, our kids got called “Adaline” and “Bridie” more than once!
The pictures are of our Sunday trip to the beach where we were just going to "get our feet wet".
Also, is a picture of David, Eliza and Mandi Veech at the Columbia South Carolina Temple.

The photo of David and the girls at the Temple is beautiful! Aren't cousins just great?
How exciting to hear from the DeBry's again! I know you are always doing tons of fun and interesting things, but you need to report them more often for this avid blog reader. I'm glad Eliza got to go to the temple--what a neat experience for her. The beach looks awesome. We need to figure out how to have a beach family reunion sometime.
Marilyn! Its great to see you on the blogging circuit again. I've missed the updates, but can't imagine dealing with dial-up, so that is a good excuse. It is hard to believe that Eliza is 12, a beehive, doing baptisms, etc. That is awesome. I'll bet she is loving all of it. She is such a cute 'young woman.' Great pictures!!! It must be nice to have family semi-close by to visit.
The Tennessee DeBrys rock! You guys are so much fun!
Swimming??? On the Sabbath??
ha, ha. Good to see you have a new blog up. Can't wait to see you this summer. :)
