Family Reunion


We flew home from Guyana on June 11 because of my eye problem, but June 28 was the original date for our homecoming so our kids and grandkids had all scheduled a trip to St. George to welcome us back after 18 months.   For the first time in many years, almost every member of the family came . . . five of our six children (David was unable to get away from work), both daughters-in-law, all of our 13 grandchildren, my brother Larry from Seattle, and my sister-in-law from Fresno.  Even the Harris’ with whom we served in Guyana came down from Layton.  Needless to say, late June in St. George was uncomfortably HOT for most family members (up to 106 on one day) and often we had total chaos, but we had a great time catching up on everyone’s news, playing Uno and Skipbo, playing in the water and taking lots of pictures.   The food was delicious and plentiful . . . it was a great weekend!
