Slurping Watermelon

The activity committee for the family reunion worked hard to make sure everyone had plenty to keep them busy and having a good time. Uncle Andrew (the one with the wet face) won this time. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the contest... Lest you wonder, I toned down most of the colors in the pictures, except for the watermelon (and Mel's hair and Andrew's eyes)...

O slurping...

Sweet victory...

Up up and away

On the last day of the family reunion in Ashton, in celebration of Steve's 60th birthday, we inflated 60 helium balloons and let them go outside the cabin. It was beautiful to watch them float away and, in a way, say a happier "goodbye" to Steve. Looking back, it was also a nice last memory with Grandpa Sorensen...

4-Wheelin'

Couple of pics of D 4-wheelin' on Uncle Curtis' quad at the cabin in Ashton... I was on the back. :)

Peaceful Grandpa

Kirsten's brother Jon took this photo of Grandpa Sorensen at the cabin a couple of days before he passed. I edited it a bit... Thanks for the pic, Jon.

Ashton Pics

I know I've been completely off the radar lately... It's been crazy since Kirsten's dad died. She went back to Utah and Idaho with the boys for a month to keep her mom company, and then I met up with her for a week and a half in Ashton, Idaho, at the family cabin for a family reunion. Upon my return, I started into a new position at work, so working hard to ramp up.

Below are a few of the pictures I took while looking around for a place to take family photos at the reunion... It's beautiful there; wish we could spend more time at the cabin...
