Family Reunion Days 5 & 6: Temple, Frisbee, Cemetery, Games, Temple Square

 Friday morning, most of the older kids went to the temple to do baptisms. Luke did the baptizing and the kids were witnesses for each other which was cool. I got to hand out the towels.

U and Josie enjoyed playing together. They made a really good team.

Friday evening, we went to the Murray cemetery where Grandpa talked about the meaning of life and making sure we live in alignment with our deepest beliefs and values.
