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)...

Melanie...

O slurping...

Sweet victory...

Old Friends...

Wow... What an afternoon! Several of us from KR and KW high schools who went to seminary together met up after 17 years at the church building we all used to go to. It was incredible to see these great people after so long -- Shauna, Christy, Julie, Ryan, Jill, Jana, Carrie, Jessica, Todd, Mike and, of course most of their families. For those who know them, can you still tell who they all are in the photo below? I'll give you a hint. None of these are Jill and Jana, who weren't able to make it until after we took the photos. I'll drop one of them in below. ;)

I took photos of each family as well, but I'm going to set up a photo album somewhere to post those, rather than put them all into my blog. Watch for the link...

And here's Jana and Jill (and Sis. Simpson):

Excited For Tomorrow!

I'm really excited for tomorrow afternoon. An old friend decided to arrange a quick and dirty get-together of a bunch of the old gang we used to hang and go to seminary with in high school (i.e., a scripture study class we'd go to at church every morning for 4 years at 6 a.m.). I haven't seen most of these folks in about 17 years... I'll report back tomorrow and post some photos for those who know and remember all these old friends. ;)
