Utah Visit Part 1: Cousins!
Our kids were in cousin heaven on our trip to Utah! There are 15 cousins to play with when we all get together. There were visits to cousins houses, gatherings at Mammy & Pappy’s condo (I’m sure their neighbors just love us), a field trip to an indoor Soft Playground, sharing slushies from Mark & Mel’s “Slushy Kingdom” and rides in the big white 15 passenger van. And this is just part one!
Rob and I had a great time chatting and catching up with everyone while the kids played, and the week just flew by. We’re so glad we made the trip, and tried to brainwash all the kids into begging their parents to come visit us next. Click here for the complete set of photos from part one!
We’re already planning on summer ’08 or ’09 for sure! We can hardly wait to invade your turf over there, it was so much fun to have you visit here!!!
My kids are concerned about how long it is going to be before they see you all again. A year is a long time.
It was so fun to hang out with you guys. It was also fun to get to know your younger girls a bit more. We were really glad you made it out here.
Sounds like you had a PERFECT family vacation.
Seems sad that I missed you by only five days.
Next time will be the charm! Now that I’m
retired, maybe I should come that way this
Winter to get away from the dark and rain.
What do you think?
On June 18th I posted this comment on behalf of my friend who took the 100 Day Challenge that Amy wrote about in one of her blogs:
“Count my friend Kathy B. in. She is 60 years old and committed to take and pass her GED tests within 100 days. Good for her!”
Well, I am here to report that on August 16th, 2007 Kathy Barlow has now received her GED!
This has been a life-changing event for Kathy who always felt less than her co-workers because she hadn’t finished High School. So now she has raised her head high and accomplished this feat.
Just to show you what’s up next for Kathy, she has enrolled in the CNA Nursing Program at our local Community College and begins classes in the Fall. She knows she can do it! How about that?
As for me, I am still working on my 100 Day project of digitizing my family slides and would estimate that I am about 80% done. More on that when I am finished.
Hooray for the 100 Day Challenge! Thanks Amy for the nudge!
What a great visit! I hope it is not too long before we see you again.
Lauralee, I’m so impressed with your diligence and Kathy’s hard work! I’ll be passing this info on to my friend Amy who has just started a blog dedicated to the challenge… http://www.next100days.blogspot.com/
