Remi's Baptism weekend

On Saturday 10-9-10 we went to St. Johns to see Cousin Remi get Baptized. It was a 3 1/2 hr drive for us and the kids did great! Chase told us everytime he needed to stop to go to the bathroom which was AWESOME!
At the baptizm Chase loved to sing the songs and kept telling us the whole time,"Remi get baptized." They had asked my grandpa Howard to talk on Baptizm and then they asked Darren to talk on the Holy Ghost. Mason was asked to say the closing prayer. We asked Mason if he would like to practice the prayer and he told us no. But when he gave the prayer it was really good and was about a couple of minutes long. Afterwards people told him he did a good job and did better than some adults do. Here is Shane and Remi- Remi is the oldest cousin and so it was good example for Mason and Chase to see there cousin get baptized.

While we were in St. Johns we went to there park and it was really nice and green-

On the way to St. Johns there is a place you can stop and look at Dinosaur statues and then look at the petrified wood.

This one piece of petrified wood cost $1500.00 and then the shop that Mason wanted to buy something in had a sign that said you break it you bought it. So we had to keep Chase outside because he wouldn't let us hold him. Mason wanted to buy something and so Darren took him in first. Well he was in there for 15min and couldn't decide on what to get so then I took him in and he looked and looked and then saw a knife and I said no. We are at the petrified wood gift shop get some petrified wood. He didn't want to so I took him out to leave and Darren went in and told him that he had 10 seconds to get something and he chose 3 rocks that are blue which look like I found them in my yard and then shined them up. They were $5.00. Next time we are going to just get the souvenir that goes with the place we are stopped at and not let the kids go in to choose something because we ended up being there for 1 hour.
But over all the kids enjoyed the little time away and want to go back to visit.
