Some of the Goings on Lately

We've been getting the computer fixed and then we have to back again and again. This night we decided we needed hot chocolate and smoothies. :)

 Emi danced at the Cancer Relay for Life this year.

 She's the cutest. :)

 She selected her own outfit. :)

 Right in the middle. I promise the move wasn't provocative despite how it looks. haha

 There she is in all her cuteness. I sure love her.

 Later that day we went to the temple with recent converts and others to do baptisms. I was able to be baptized for my grandma Galeotti and her three sisters. It was truly amazing having Phil baptize and confirm. Moments like these are what makes life truly happy and blessed. :) I sure hope I was standing one step below Phil. Sadly for me, I probably wasn't.

Cousin Birthday Safari

We have some fun, adventurous cousins! They had a party at a reptile rescue place that of course, Uncle John has connections with. :)

 We loved the tortoises!

 Papa was getting butted by the buffalo.

 The smell in this room and the house was a bit much, but wow the things we saw!

 This bird danced to music.

 The llama never spit on us.Phew!

 Isaiah wasn't so sure about that.

 Noah wanted to but only with Papa's safe hands helping.

 Then of course Papa had to give it a go...

 and just after this pic he was on the ground. The ride it decided to take him on took him a little by surprise.

 Interestingly none of the Fletcher tribe felt the need to hold the large reptiles. :)

 Don't think these kids could be happier, though

 Some of the group.

 Then we headed to another house with all sorts of birds. This bird said a lot of things. The bird upstairs meowed just like a cat. haha

 Then we had some food and cupcakes...

 and headed back home across the Golden Gate.

 Such an amazing landmark.

So glad we were able to make it! It was such a fun, learning day!
