Sunday At the Reunion- A Day of Rest????

Sunday started with the "Adult Meeting". It was rated "R" for a
"Really Long Meeting"! Dad led the discussion for plans for the
next reunion.  Tyler had just flown in from Anchorage and Ruth
was glad to be a reunited family again!

We tried to sweeten the meeting with M&M's!

Next it was time for Church. The Chapel was right across from the newly dedicated Newport Beach Temple.  Gorgeous!!!!

After Church we hurried to change into clothes for the "Reunion Picture". All the kids loved going back to a beach for the pictures. A special thanks to Rachel for tackling this enormous undertaking! (Lots of thanks but no pay.) Now let's see- what can you legally do at the beach on Sunday???? Pose on the rocks? Nate is a true muscleman- not a wimp!

You can climb rocks on Sunday like Savannah and Adelyn do.

Michael and Mark try skipping rocks into the ocean- another great Sunday activity.

One of the twins plays in the sand- it is NOT recommended to eat sand...on Sunday!

Joey tries to outrun the waves. (They did catch and dump him.)

Sarah could be a model!

Caroline, Mandy, and Mom love the beach. What a beautiful view!

We went back to our villas to change into Sunday clothes again

for Will's baptism. Rachel plays with Amelia and Lily on the

Church grounds.

Will had gotten permission to have his baptism in California so the whole family could be there. What a special occassion it was, followed by a family testimony meeting. Nate got to do the baptizing. Another great smile from Will.

We hurried back to our villas to change back to comfortable clothes ready for the Family Talent Show.  There is LOTS of talent in this family!  Dad read Horace and got lots of laughs from this "politically incorrect" book.

After all that talent is let loose, people are hungry! Dad and Tyler scoop up ice cream for the dessert. Is that glare from the camera or from the top of those heads???

These were Supreme Banana Splits and Sundaes! Just about every topping imaginable was available- from carmel and butterscotch to M&M's and oreo cookies! And the best part was that you could have as much as you wanted!!! Don enjoys being with the kids.

Mom gives Adelyn a little extra whip cream!

All good things come to an end and Monday brought an end to our 2012 Family Reunion.  Caroline, Mandy, and Mark were the first to leave. Numero Uno!

Ben is all ready to hit the road. Where are all the other Taylors???

Tim, Nate, Alice, and Anna are ready but not anxious to leave.

Adrianne and Myra smile their goodbyes.

And Miriam and Elijah bring things out to the car.

It's hard to have so much fun end and it's hard to say goodby. What a great 2012 Crockett Family Reunion!
