The last week of August we took a trip to Utah to drop off Seth and Kirsten at BYU. First, we needed to stop at Bear Lake, where Uncle Todd (aka, The Host With the Most) force-fed us milkshakes and commented on our pale complexions.
After that we drove to Provo, did some organizational work with the scholars, and then free-loaded off of Suki and Rich. Here are some pics in their basement, but we failed to get one with Suki and Rich. (Actually, they took off early the next morning for Chicago to see a Cubs game for Rich's birthday.)
This last one was going to be a Christmas card picture, but I'm not so sure now. A couple of the kids look rather annoyed.
Then came the final drop off.
On the way out of town we stopped by to see the Mike/Aimee contingent. Mike was at work, but while we were there Joel showed up.
Then we stopped off to see Matt and Symonie. Matt was at work. And Nina shunned us and went to lay down on her parent's bed.
The burden of guilt from her rudeness overcame her, and she was smitten with a sore sleepiness. (Actually, she had had a play date that day, and seemed pretty tired when we showed up at 5 pm.)
It was fun to see most everyone. We missed Mike, Matt and Keri and the kids. As we were passing Ogden we knew Todd was out of town, but wanted to stop and see Keri. We called them and no one was home, and since it was getting late and we were ever so anxious to see the beauties of South-Eastern Idaho, we pushed ahead.

Great narrative and pictures. They are already in my album. It sounds like you touched base with almost everyone. Thanks for the pictures. We got a chuckle out of Menina's snub but it looks like you got the last word/photo. Very cute of all the kids. It is so sad that you were force fed those milkshakes, we have experienced the same torture and believe me it is something you only want to encounter once a year, especially at Raspberry Festival time. Yes, there is such a festival. Not to be missed. Love Mom
Thanks for all the great photos Stuey - and the narrative that accompanies. I'm going to put a copy in Nina's scrapbook. :)
