More SLC Pics

Here are more pictures from our SLC trip.

This one is the entire family gathered at the end of the birthday party. We should have taken the picture before hand, because all the kids are dirty from playing in the yard. Still, better than nothing.

This is me and my mommy in the back yard. What you can't see is all of the things that kids get into to make themselves so dirty - sawdust pile, ditches for water run-off, haystack, lumber pile, sandbox, etc.

This is my grandma, Mema, with a cigarette & beer. Anyone who knows mema will be laughing their asses off at this picture - Mema is the prim and proper one in the family: insists on wearing white shoes, even though she knows they'll get dirty, house is always perfectly in order, doesn't smoke, goes to church every weekend, the whole shebang. This is probably the second best picture of the entire weekend (excluding the group picture, of course).

This is Ed and his brother Jeff, sister-in-law Stephanie, and the niece and nephews, Caitlin, Alex, and Miles. Very cute kids, and pretty well-behaved. Jeff and Stephanie are trying to arrange a Maryland visit in April sometime.

And, finally, a nice picture of the mountains in Utah. Aside from my family, that's the only thing I miss about Utah. I wouldn't trade in all the tress on the east coast, though, so I guess it's a draw.
