Brooklyn's Baptism

The last week of June, my niece Brooklyn was able to be baptized. We were so happy to celebrate this special day with her. After her baptism we went to Heidi's for a BBQ and to play on their big slide. The kids had so much fun. It is always fun when all of the cousins get a chance to play together. My mom and her husband Joe were able to be here for the baptism. So, Brooklyn and Emma (who was baptized while Papa Joe and Grandma were on their mission) got a chance to pull money out of Papa Joe's money jar. He has a tradition where all of the kids on certain birthdays (8, 12, 16 and 19, I think) get to put their hand in his money jar and they get to keep whatever amount of money they pull out. I think Emma and Brooklyn both pulled out about 8 dollars each. Not bad!

Hyrum was loving being thrown down the slide. The boy has no fear.
Macy got thrown a little too hard and ended up landing off of the slide. Nate thought it was pretty funny.

Uncle Nate started throwing the kids down the slide so Tate thought he wanted a turn. Kraig threw him down the slide and he ended up going down head first. This is right as Kraig threw him up to the top.
Going Down!

Getting off. Obviously not as fun as he thought it was going to be.
