Anniversary

The Morton's took a trip a couple months ago to Wisconsin with Grandma R. and Uncle David to celebrate our Aunt and Uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary!


We ate at a wonderful Mexican restaurant for dinner...it was the best Mexican we have had in a while!

 

We had fun racing in the pool at our hotel

Daddy and I attempting the Ballet Leg :D

 
A game of Eucher back in the room

Next morning, we ate breakfast with Great-Uncle Jon

A delicious lunch with some of Grandma's siblings

We love Ballreich's potato chips!

Peek-a-boo!

We didn't play bocce ball, but we did play cornhole.

RPI Conference

It's that time of year again.....the Morton's conference season! We started the season out with our denomination's international conference, which is held every four years. This makes it more of an abnormal "treat" :D

Lord's Day morning, we headed off to get some breakfast

God gave us a beautiful day!

Chatting with friends before service


We decided to sit at a table instead of stand around :)

G . and A.

Preparing for worship

Instructions about the confusing lunch line :)

Waiting....

....in the long lunch line!

Finally....lunch!

The group I sat with

The P.'s came for the day.

Enjoying the Psalm sing

We girls thought this couple looked so sweet!

We had some stimulating and encouraging conversations that evening about the Lord's day, the sermons that we heard, and other such things

A. wrote down profound statements from R. and claims he is going to make a book out of them :D

G., A., and myself
