Labor Day Weekend

We had Brad's and my parents in town over the weekend so we could bless Claire at church. We had lots of fun all together watching the kids show off and playing games once they were in bed. Claire's blessing was really nice, some of the highlights include:
-being filled with light, having light follower her
-being an example to her family, especially her siblings
-having a firm testimony and faith
-being creative in spiritual and temporal pursuits, especially in helping others

The other major thing is that we changed her name to Claire FIONA Laws. While we love having "Clarinet" as a nickname, we felt goofy when we told people her name was Claire Reinette.

Here are a few pics of the big morning:



 Here are pics of the other fun stuff we did.

Feeding giraffe's at the zoo, look at that tongue!

Yes, we actually slept at the Red Lion

Everybody but Claire on the camel:

Will's favorite part of the zoo was the kimodo dragon, they had a real one that he stared at for 10 minutes.

My favorite part of the day was eating at Leku Ona (a Basque restaurant), thanks Tia for the suggestion. YUM.
