Family reunion

We went to Utah. The whole family was there for about 6 days. We were only there together for about 6 hours. So we got our family picture taken. Do you see the genetics at work here. Even the In-laws look like the family.We were in Utah for Andys dads 90th birthday party.It was a lot of fun. We had great visits with Andys siblings, and cousins, and our nieces and nephews. The hard part was calling him Gordon for the celebration. The pictures were taken in Wheeler Park. Andy and I stayed in a friends Condo in downtown SLC. We went to Music and the Spoken Word, took in a session at the Salt Lake Temple, went to church in the Joseph Smith Mem. building. It was Pres. Hinkleys ward, Elder Cook was visiting. We had dinner at the DeLaMares, and a good visit with Aunt Osh, went to Maxines house and visited with her and Jay. I will figure out how to get some of the party pictures on the blog. I spent the past 4 months working on a history of Andys parents. I was pleased how it turned out. We have been trying for years to get their cooperation, but they have always said that no one would be interested in it. Even if no one else is, I am grateful for what we got done. They have a very interesting story, and I learned a lot more about my in-laws. We did a memory book from the Grandchildren. It was interesting to see the different experiences each one had with thier grandparents. I was wondering what my kids would come up with since we lived so far away. But because Clyde and Wanda made such an effort to come down each year, the kids had some pretty great experiences with them.
