Vacation 2016: Day 5

Day 5 was a big day. That was a lot going on from beginning to end. It started with more Covenant Kids and going to the morning session. Then there was a birthday party.
And corresponding cupcakes.
Tyler may have been pretty wiped by this point.
Then in the afternoon, Tyler went to rehearsal for the evening's service and the rest of us went and played at the waterpark again.
Check out the sleepy boy on the left...and Addilyn's hair!!
After all of our waterpark fun, we headed back to our room to rest and get ready for the evening's festivities. The kids watched some random kid TV (terrifying!!) and then we ate some sandwiches in the room and got all dressed up.
 Looking sharp and ready to go!

Our group took up an entire row!
Luckily it was a row between sections which meant we had a lot of space for Albert to lay on the floor and play with his cars. And the rest of the kids made sure that everyone was properly hydrated at the water station right next to our seats.
I know him! Here Tyler was officially ordained.
Father-Son selfie.

This picture makes me laugh. Tyler and his parents were taking a picture together when Gary Walters, the President of the ECC and John Wenrich, one of the Executive Ministers joined them.

After the service there was a reception with cake and friends. Albert was so tired that he actually fell asleep in my arms (that hasn't happened in a couple of years)! Unfortunately, he's much heavier than he was a couple of years ago so I couldn't hold him very long. It was fun to catch up with friends and celebrate their collective hardwork. Well done, ordinands!!
