We celebrated the Fourth of July this year by traveling to Colorado Springs for a family reunion with ten of our children and most of their children, switching temple assignments with the other members of the temple presidency, who were most gracious in accommodating our needs. Debbi's and Greg's home served as the central gathering place for meals and socializing. We also enjoyed a day at Monument Valley Park (with a little tennis and playing catch with some of my grandkids), another at North Cheyenne Canyon Park, and a morning at the Garden of the Gods. Swimming at the Comfort Inn Suites, where six of the families stayed, was another highlight--especially for the kids. Words can't do justice to how wonderful it was to get together with our favorite people, but perhaps the following pictures can offer a brief glimpse into what we are so grateful for. Any who want a larger version of any picture may click on it. Anyone wanting a still larger version may ask us to send a copy of the original file. Photos without captions will be considered to be sufficiently self-explanatory. Individual photos later in this post will have names, for the benefit of those who can't remember or who haven't seen some of those pictured for a while.
