Pictures from my vacation (better late than never, eh?)
I met Amira at the Macaroni Grill in Provo… never take pictures at 11:30 on a sunny day. Is the hand over the eyes is better than the (usually typical, for me) sunglasses?
And a few days later, as we popped through Vernal (Hubby’s got relatives there), I met up with booklogged. We were supposed to do lunch, but ended up talking over dessert and taking K to the park until Hubby was done lunching with uncles and aunts and parents (and the other three girls).
Here’s my favorite one I took of the girls.
And the reason why we went to Utah in the first place: a family reunion with Hubby’s family. Here we are, all 50-odd of us:
There were two missing: a very pregnant sister-in-law — who was scheduled to be induced the week after the reunion, and her three-year-old son. (He was the only one her husband, Hubby’s older brother, wasn’t sure he could “keep alive”. Their words, not mine.)

Awesome photos!Hehe, the family reunion photo reminds me a bit of the one from my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary—roughly 100 close family members from my mother’s side!!

Whose idea was it to wear matching shirts?! I didn’t even realize at the time that we were both wearing red. That was a fun visit. So glad you could make time to meet.

I LOVE the pictures!! That whole group one was fantastic – and you’re darling. It’s always so interesting to SEE people for the first time, when you feel like you already know them somewhat, don’t you think??

Very much so, Corrine. It’s kind of odd, meeting someone for the first time and not having to go through the whole “get to know you” phase because you already know at least a part of them so well. That said, it’s a lot of fun getting to see bloggers when I get the chance. Maybe someday I’ll even make it to Maryland. š
