In-between

When we planned this vacation, we had two goals in mind:

1) Experience a real Taylor, Arizona Fourth of July, and
2) Participate in a rare and almost extinct Perry A Baldwin Family Reunion and Camp Out.

Anything more than this we would consider a bonus. They were, by nature, less structured and more variable by family participation. Besides, I don't have pictures of all of them.

Sunday, July 5, after most of the church meetings were over and both people and facilities were available, a select few of us had the opportunity to see and hear a presentation by Norris and
Fawnette about their experience in Hong Kong and other Asian nations during their recently completed 1 1/2 year mission. It was obvious that they had put a lot of effort into their mission and had reaped great spiritual rewards.


Since we felt this was not a presentation that would particularly appeal to kids, we left all of them in the care of one of the parents, aunt, or uncle which also decreased our number.






We were using the Relief Society room for the presentation. It had one of those new keyboard units that will greatly benefit wards which have few piano playing members. Not only can you make it sound like a piano or organ, you can play electronic software for all the church hymns and Primary Songs. You can also change the pitch a full octave range and the tempo. Our daughters were both excited about getting one in their building.



Kyle kept asking us when we were going to visit him and his family. Finally, on the morning wen were 're planning









We took a little detour to visit with a dear friend of ours. Nancy was one of our first babysitters and swimming instructors. She now teaches first grade in nearby Holbrook.
