F. H. E. with the Gwilliams

Oh man, we had such a ball at the Gwilliams Monday night. They invited the entire Kendall clan over for a BBQ, the brave souls. We started the evening going through the Oquirrh Hills Temple open house, all 31 of us. What a beautiful building!!! The kids favorite rooms this time where: Ryan -- Sealing room; Sarah -- Baptistery; Bella -- Baptistery; I don't recall asking Ali, but I do know she surely enjoyed the cookies (at the Draper temple, Bella told us her favorite room was the room where we got the cookies and water, real spiritual experience for her).

Any way, after that, we made our way to the Gwilliams home in Taylorsville and had such a par-tay, I'm telling you. They have a swimming pool in their backyard, so of course, the kids couldn't wait til after dinner.

This ended up to be Ali's favorite spot in the pool.

Sarah flipping or diving (I'm not sure on this one)

While the kids were swimming in the dark, the boys all started up a big game of Ultimate Frisbee. Ryan joined that group and they had a lot of fun. They each had lights on their heads to determine the team they were on and the frisbee was lite up as well.

We had a few belly flops, back flops, near misses with heads on the diving board, close calls with kids going down the slide, and whatever else we didn't see (or chose not to see I think is more like it). But at the end of the day, everyone was entertained and more than anything, we just enjoyed the company and getting to know Jim's family a little bit better. We thank your entire family for the fun evening.
