Too much sugar - who cares?

South Jordan 2004 Family Reunion

No worries here about kids getting hyper from eating too sugar.

Remember the bounce house?

South Jordan 2004 Family Reunion

It was awesome! Uncle/Grandpa Bob got a bounce house for our reunion. The kids had a great time. They jumped to their hearts' content.

You can only imagine.

The cooks' dialogue

Cedar City 2006 Family Reunion
We worry ourselves over the direction leading news syndicates are pulling the nation; however; we forget that the power of the news media doesn't hold a candle to the high impact of the information highway that flows through the kitchens of America. No media can ever "pull the wool" over Brianna and Chantel's eyes.

Just what the doctor ordered.

The right food always puts people in a good mood.

So? If I had a cupcake, I'd be happy too.

Outcasts

South Jordan 2004 Family Reunion

There will always be those who do not do well with others, nor do they enjoy the finer things associated with social norms such as tables, chairs, and eating utensils. Their gatherings are typified by secret combinations and special hand signs.

Sometimes photographs only supply clues.

There's more going on here than Rich singing and strumming his guitar. Watch the details. Notice both Rich and Craig's right feet are in the elevated position. See how Craig's arms are basically down, hovering slightly forward from their intended position lower over the hips. I can't identify the young lad probably sent by his dad to rapidly remove the two chairs from behind Craig and Rich. Could this be for their own safety? If you haven't already figured it out, Rich and Craig are doing the River Dance and a dandy job of it, I must say.

Hey, that thing is hard to solve.

Who shrunk everyone?

These pictures are from our 2004 Family Reunion in Utah, that's why all the kids look like they are getting smaller. It's not because they because they are leaving.
