We made it back from Austin last night about 10:30. We arrived at SLC Airport around 8:30PM. Our flight was delayed about an hour. But that seems to be the way it goes with us when we fly. Our flight to Austin was right on time and even arrived at the airport a little early. That was a little freaky for us, because we never leave on any flight on time, much less arrive early. It just seems to be the Phillips way. So we knew that our flight home would have to have some kinks in it. But all and all it was a good flight and we only arrived about 40 minutes later than we were scheduled. We made up time in the air.
Aundrea's baptism was really nice. We were so glad that we could be there. She had a lot of friends attend and the entire Bishopric was there. Her Mom and Dad were there and we went out to Dinner with them afterward. We had good food and a great time.
Before the Baptism Travis and Aundrea took us on a short tour of Austin. It is a pretty city. We went to the State Capitol Building. Lee had visited it when he was stationed at Ft. Hood, TX in the Army about 40 years ago. It is a beautiful building.
On Sunday we visited Aundrea's parents in Belton, Tx. and saw the old building downtown that they are redoing. They are going to open a consignment shop in it. They have done a lot of work in the building and it is looking really good. We wish them luck with their business.
I was going to post some pics of the Baptism but you can view them on Aundrea's blog. She beat me to it. But as you can see I posted a few of our Austin pictures. Enjoy.

I had a blast!!! I am really glad you guys came. It was alot of fun and I am looking forward to seeing you guys again. I meant to steal the rest of your pictures but I forgot. Glad to hear that you made it back safe. I was thinking that flight delay thing must be a Phillips thing because every time I fly with Travis we are delayed! In New York we sat on the plane for an hour before we even took off!
