Vacation: Part II

From my parents, house, I drove with the boys to my sissy's - where I got to meet this strapping young man for the first time! I miss little P-man already.

My patient children also enjoyed meeting lots of new friends as I got together with some beloved friends from days gone by... 

Here are BYU roommate, Kelly and honorary roommate, Cass. So fun to catch up with them. Both are doing amazing things with their talents and it was inspiring to be with them for the few hours we had together. 

I was also able to get together with one of my favorites from Boston, and two more BYU roommates. I've been back to UT so many times since graduating, but have not taken the time to get together with all these wonderful people I love. I'm so glad it worked out to be able to do so this time!

After a few days of visiting, Brian joined the family! We were able to visit with two dear friends of mine from OU (again, absolutely wonderful to catch up in person), and then headed to a big 7 bedroom house for our family reunion. 

I loved being with all my siblings in the first time in who knows how many years, but it was especially wonderful to see Gabe have so much fun with his cousins. This is A-man - who we also got to meet for the first time. He's a trip - a happy happy boy. Gabe also played with his older cousin C a ton. I have no pictures of them because they were always playing games that involved running, hiding, chasing, etc.

The boys picked up some bad habits in Park City. Note what Gabe is advertising with his head-gear (thanks, Steve) :)

And Josh, poker. Geesh. You try to raise them right...

And here are all the grandsons with my dad. Sadly, I think this is the best shot.
