Farewell

We left the beach Sunday morning and went straight to Kyle's farewell.  

The cousins sang  "We'll Bring the World His Truth."  They did a great job, I love that song!

Kyle gave an amazing talk.  He has really prepared himself and he is ready to serve a mission.  He will be amazing.

I know his family is sure going to miss him.  He does a ton to help, but he is also very positive and sets a fun, positive tone for the rest of the kids to follow.  

We stayed for the rest of church.  The kids did great going to their classes since they had been there the week before as well.

After church we went over to Julie's parents for a barbecue dinner.  It was so good!  The kids had fun running around and playing with each other.

They had Kyle and his cousins (one leaving on a mission and one who just came home) say a few words.  I love that Kyle just reached down and pulled Wyatt on his lap.  My kids adore Kyle.  

Hallee got plenty of attention from Lindy and Alexys.

After a great dinner and dessert we said goodbye and drove a few hours to Pendleton Oregon where we had a hotel booked.  We drove the rest of the way home on Monday.  This was probably one of my all time favorite trips.  We had so much fun, we had a ton of quality time with our family and we made wonderful memories.  I'm so glad that it worked for everyone to be there!
