DeMolay Honors Day

Wednesday was our last day at the Disneyland resort. We slept in, then went into California Adventure for a last photo. After checking out, we went to Downtown Disney so the kids could do Build-A-Bear. Then we headed north, stopping in a central California to visit my parents along the way home.

On Sunday, we drove down to Salem for DeMolay Honors Day. They were held at the Salem Scottish Rite. Bryan took part in several ceremonies.

Last night the Daughters of Bethel 11 performed a special initiation at our neighboring Lodge. We were a little shorthanded, but the girls did a great job.
