Good Month!

The last half of  July was pretty loaded for our family.

July 19, was a Castleton family reunion with a lot of cousins!

 This is probably 2/3 of my Grandpa and Grandma Castleton's posterity.  Pretty great group of people!

July 21&22 we got to spend time in the mountains with most of the Petrick clan.  It was a lot of fun.  The girls spent the night, while the parents went home and slept in our beds!

July 24 we had a barbeque with the Petrick clan as well.  It was fun being able to see Brad and Angelique down from Colorado.  Rachel lucked out and got her mission call the day before, so we opened it there with all our family and a few friends. This was the best picture I got that night, the rest were blurry.

She was called to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Mission.  She reports to the MTC on October 29.  We are very excited for her. 

The next day was Ellie's 8th birthday.  She had a Frozen party with her friends, and then we went to dinner as a family to Red Robin.  Very fun day.

July 27 we had Emmalee's Young Woman Recognition night.  It was fun to celebrate her and all of her accomplishments.  She has had many great leaders, friends, and family that have helped her along the way.  This is my favorite picture from the night.

Then on August 2 Ellie was baptized.  Another fun celebration.  Our last baptism, that part is strange! Her best friend Sara got baptized with her.  It was a lot of fun.
