Full weekend in Page, AZ

This past weekend (July 6th - 8th) Robert and I went down to Page, AZ because his nephew, Milton, was turning 8 and being baptized. Friday night we celebrated Milton's birthday with a party and some of his friends.

Milton and John before the Baptism

Saturday morning Milton Victor Owens was baptized by his dad John Thomas Owens II. Robert was asked to give a talk on baptism and I was asked to give a talk on the Holy Ghost. It was such a wonderful day. And I am honored to have been a part of Milton's special day.

After the baptism Christine (Robert's sister), made us all delicious sack lunches and we piled into two cars and took a trip out to the Grand Canyon, North Rim. It is a trek of about 2-2 1/2 hours, but totally worth it!!

After being at the Grand Canyon for a bit we drove back to Page, AZ, went to the Canyon King Pizzeria for dinner and then to bed.

On Sunday we went to church, then went back to Christine's house for delicious German Apple Pancakes, and then Robert and I left for the drive back home.

It was a great weekend and so glad that we were able to go down and spend time with Christine and her family (especially since they will be moving to Ohio in a few weeks).
