...or rather go west, slightly middle-aged family.*
and go west, we did. we left for utah on july 3rd and spent the 4th with pat's sister's family in chicago where we saw this awesome license plate:
the license cover said something like: "hell yeah, i'm a neil diamond fan".
the fourth was spent relaxing with family. we went to the park where uncle blake showed the girls the art of "long-distance shoe throws while swinging." it doesn't take much to see gracie's competitive side and she worked on it until she could get her shoe about as far as her uncle.
the girls and their cousins played together splendidly!! i didn't get any pics of them all together except when they were climbing these trees. i was also able to run on the trails that are literally just off their backyard and found in my sister-in-law, mary, a "so you think you can dance" buddy (something i've wanted for a while. next summer i'll be calling her after every elimination). it was a good time.
*don't even think about questioning the use of the word "slightly" in that phrase
